The inconspicuous four storey building might not seem much from the outside, but this houses fifty creative go-getters joined together for the purpose of creating the best videos the country has ever seen. You have probably seen some of Go Motion Productions' works. For two straight years, the company has filmed the ostensibly popular Nestea Laboracay videos. Other notable clients include Nestlé, P&G, Unilever, GSM and basically all the who's who in the ad agency business. I have witnessed this company grow from its humble start-up beginnings in Quezon City a few years back to its current stature: a prod powerhouse with a diverse client base and several awards under its belt. My friend has been working here for several years now and he was been the happiest busy man that I have known. For their full product portfolio I suggest you Google them. No job is too big.. Or small for these guys

I actually know a couple of people from Go Motion but it doesn't mean I am biased when I say that…read morethis production house is a serious contender to become one of the better prod houses in the country. As a production person myself, I have an idea on the ins and outs of commercial production and given Go Motion's record, I'm pretty sure they can talk the talk and walk the walk. Headed by a bunch of young professionals, Go Motion has done commercials and digital productions that are worth taking note of. Their creativity is coupled with professional, which makes them a team that is good to work with. They are spunky, creative and it helps that they can put a youthful spin on their projects.

I'm a filmmaker. So one of the first things I had to discover when I moved to Manila was where to…read moreprint some DVD labels and also do DVD authoring. Firstly I tried all the print shops in Salcedo Village area. None of them could print a simple DVD label. I was ready to give up when one day, while strolling down V.A.Rufino Street, I saw this tiny store with some computers. I came inside and asked the guy - Erwin Salak, he's the man! - if they could do this kind of service. Surprisingly he said yes! I gave him the DVDs and he printed the labels right away. The quality was very good and the price was very fair. Actually they can do all the authoring thing if you need - and also video editing, motion graphics and graphic design. They also work with events planning, so you can take a look at their photography and videography portfolio. Oh, and they take pictures for IDs. I highly recommend Erwin, the guy who saved me with my DVD label!

Perhaps the most widely respected newspaper in the country, the Philippine Daily Inquirer is a…read morefavorite to those who can afford its rates, which are higher than most newspapers, but also guarantees the quality of the work. Like many Filipino newspapers, the publication of the newspaper is entirely in English (to the delight of many foreigners and also to cater to the tastes of many of the Filipinos who learned the English language and also use it for business) and continues to become the popular choice of daily news in areas like Manila or Makati. Covering sections in sports, leisure, lifestyle, and of course current events, this particular newspaper also has an online feature, making sure that it reaches out to even the common Overseas Filipino Worker. With no newspaper getting more respected coverage, it is clear to see that the PDI has managed to make its way into the cosmopolitan lifestyle of the working Filipino in the corporate world and in the business sphere

Another one of the top newspapers in the country, the Philippine Star enjoys arguably wider…read morecoverage, due to its widespread popularity and cheaper prices. Being a widely-read magazine among those who work both within and outside the corporate sectors of Metro Manila, the Philippine Star is one of the newspapers that top businesses and institutions also use to place prominent advertisements. Like other newspapers, it also offers a top-notch reading pool of different features and news headlines, and is one of the few that has an easily accessible online feature and a very convenient electronic newsletter that ensures that your daily dose of local news reaches your inbox with consistency and regularity, and this feature distinguishes itself by linking you to their mobile website, which also includes their digital edition and smartphone application. Indeed, this newspaper manages to prominently keep up with the others by being widely read by the general population that relies on technology to get by while still maintaining the quality of its print version.

I've always been a fan (is that even the right word?) of ABS-CBN. So I was somewhat excited when I…read moregot to intern. The internship of ABS-CBN is pretty cool. They'll orient you for a couple of days. After the orientation, you'll be immersed in their TV shows. That was extremely tiring, but I learned a lot. That immersion lasts for a week. The next couple of weeks, we were attending all sorts of workshops about writing for TV and film and also learning about digital media. If you're thinking of taking your internship in ABS-CBN, I promise that you'll learn a lot. Sure, you'll be shocked at the hours they ask you to report to work (there were days when we couldn't go home anymore). They'll make you go out of your comfort zone by talking to so many people, doing random jobs, and scolding you sometimes for doing something wrong. They'll make you think out of the box during workshops and pitching. But you know what, this is what makes ABS-CBN great. They require everyone to do excellent work and it shows.

I'm used to having all my major printing work done in the Taft/La Salle area where it's cheaper and I'm already a 'suki', but sometimes it's just too much trouble to go all the way there. Print Avenue is a convenient place to have all your printing needs/photocopying done, and conveniently situated in Salcedo Village. It's perfect for me when I have to run to a meeting but need some files printed professionally. I've had my design work printed here, and the print quality is excellent, with a fast turnaround. There was this one time I was running late to an interview and needed some ID photos printed in a snap, and Print Avenue saved my day. Though naturally, rates here would be a bit pricier than most print shops (I guess it's because they really have a good location-ground floor walk up and in one of Makati's more elite neighborhoods). But, I believe the service, convenience and quality is worth shelling out a few pesos for.
