Day 2 - October 5, 2010

Today I went on a company visit to:
• University of Philippines, Diliman
• SeaChange (Ayala Techo HUB)
• IBM – International Business Machine (Ayala Techo HUB)


What I learned:
• UP Diliman, upittc is one of the best itineraries that we have visited. I learned a lot of things including how to write a winning thesis, because it might be helpful to us in the future, they also discussed about visualization, personal learning environment, gaming, mobile development, and other technical related topics that would be helpful for us.

• In SeaChange, they have showed us their facilities and found out that they provide tv shows, movies and other multimedia services which is stored in their database that was maintain by their IT personnel. They also said that they also provide some of technical services on the big network companies like GMA and ABS-CBN. These services also include the capability of their customer to watch movies/ tv shows at their convenient time because it allows them to pause, play stop, rewind, forward, and other convenient features in using multimedia.

• I learned that IBM is a company that gives opportunities to the people that have great ideas and that they help it out to develop something useful. The president of the company is a person that is a positive thinker which persuades us to do what we like and do hard-work in anything we do.



What I liked:
• I liked their accommodation because they already prepare everything for the event, and the speakers are also very professionals while delivering their speech which was mostly very interesting to us.

• I liked their offices/ facilities, it is very organized and well-maintained, and especially their database which was most of all their multimedia is stored. They also let us get inside to their servers which are very confidential but still they try to explain how it works.

• I liked the ambiance of their building, seems like every people walking around there is professional and also the president which is also the speaker for the said event. They showed us an example of the servers that they make which is not working because it is only for viewing purposes.



What I don’t liked:
• I don’t like some speakers that do not know how to get the attention of his/her audiences; even some of us are already sleeping and talking to somebody.

• I don’t like some of their employees because, some of them act like they do not know anything, but almost are really kind and hospitable.

• I don’t the fact that they really didn’t tour us around the building because we have just go around a room.
