TARLAC CITY, (PNA)–- SITEL, one of the world’s leading business process outsourcing(BPO) companies opened its training academy here recently.
Gov. Victor Yap said the entire third floor of the Provincial capitol was renovated under a (MOA) Memorandum of Agreement signed last November 2007 between SITEL and the Provincial Government of Tralac.
“the company is most welcome in the province” especially at the capitol because “the environment promotes mutual learning.”
“the arrival of the academy in Tarlac also promotes professionalism influenced by the western culture.”
-Yap said
Dan Reyes, president of the SITEL Philippines, said the company is very happy to work with such a dynamic and visionary governor.”
On the other hand, Baguio's SITEL president, Rod Spires, said the training center hopes to help as many Tarlaqueños in skills training for employment in the company.
Initially, 31 trainees will undergo a 30-day workshop in the academy with two trainors housed in Tarlac city. The training includes communication skills, basic computer literacy and call center workshop.
The trainees who will pass the final examination will be directly hired by SITEL Baguio, which is already home to more than 2,000 agents.
Yap further added that SITEL’s rallying cry “Vision, Passion and Purpose could very well be adapted by the Provincial Government of Tarlac.” (PNA)

Gettin' Me a Dose of Pigott!
Hey guys.
So I moved. I've been gradually moving for about a month, slowly moving stuff down to the new house, while still sleeping in my own cozy room at home.
But this past weekend, it actually got done. Aside from some clothes and little stuff, I've officially changed addresses.
And if there's one thing I've learned (or been reminded of from my college apartment days), is that I'm not a good mover. I worry about everything, and when I let my mind really slip into the deep, dark places that make me bubble with anxiety, I end up panicking, thinking, "What if things are never right & normal again? What if I always feel like I want to move back home?"
I talk myself back down, reminding myself that it's not exactly normal for a 25-year-old to be still living at home with Mom & Dad, yet I'm still close enough that I can skip back whenever I want. It's not like I've moved to frickin' Siberia. I'm just down the road.
This week, having no groceries or satellite dish yet, I've been actually at home more than I've been at the new place. I eat at home, I watch TV at home - then I just go to the new house to sleep, and shower in the morning.
So far, that seems to be working quite well for me. Just might have to keep it that way.
Anyways...If there's anything that can bring me back out of my doldrums, it's news on the Sebastian Pigott front! Remember him? The dude I drooled over pretty much all summer long?
Well, I've given you a long enough reprieve - it's time he get some more space on the Blog!
I was super-excited when I heard yesterday that he had a guest-starring role on the Canadian television drama, The Border. Never watched it before in my life, and I still haven't actually seen the episode, but I did tape it and I'm looking forward to watching it. Word on the street is Seb got to do a lot of his own stunts, and that his character eventually dies. But I won't mind, so long as I get to look at his handsomeness for another while!
Just to remind you, here's some pics.
It will be interesting to see Sebastian in an acting role, after watching him on Idol doing the singing thing. From the rooting around on the Internet that I've done, it appears that Sebastian's heart lies more with acting and playwriting than music or modeling. He's written several scripts that have been produced by DropShip Entertainment in Toronto, in which he has also acted, and he's also had bit roles on other movies and shows, such as the Canadian film "The Poet", set in WWII.
Being on Idol certainly will have opened more doors for him in acting, and I'm sure his guest appearance on The Border will give him even more exposure, as it is his first mainstream acting role. I'll let you know what I think of his acting once I actually get to watch the episode (hopefully tonight). I can't wait!!!
