Philippine tax for digital services

Soon we will be paying more for digital services, even internet identifier like domain names can be included, and that's a definitive VAT. In PH it's equivalent to 12%. Although, we still have to see invoice for domain names registration and renewal fees being added with VAT. You should be getting reminders from your local and international service providers to key-in your tax details, if you haven't yet done so. We must say, this is especially for those who had to directly acquire digital services with the source and not through local resellers. If you've been dealing with local resellers, your digital services may probably have been subjected with, and had added, VAT included in your payment ever since. You should be, but you have to check it.  For online local retailers, you may have been VAT registered and paying your taxes with or without that digital tax. Don't take this as an advice and ascertain it with your accountant to be sure.

8Ps preview

We've seen varying and elaborate ways to accomplish uncommon artifacts and rock solid business systems but still we had to create our own. For a simple reason, methodologies are not always full-clad, and practitioners concur on and adjust them, subsequently, overcoming problems and be able to pull through on agreements and goals. That's why we had to establish our own basic prerequisite for whatever job we should be in --
  • Purpose (Initiative, beginning of master plan) - does it solve issues for or augment the business?
  • People (Strategy and requiring correct Specifications) - who can deal with such assignment? Humans make everything and miss a lot!
  • Product (Architecture and Technology) - do we need it and how do we use it? However and whatsoever they are must not influence the major portion of the decision.
  • Policy (Practices, Standard, Rules, Regulations and Laws) - we need comprehensive and panoptic guidelines.
  • Process (Action guided by the purpose) - make sure we are consistent.
  • Procurement (Acquisition, reinforced by our AIM business lifecycle) - it must be competitive not corrupted. Where do you put major software development efforts? Pick one of the following facets: acquisitionimplementation or management?
  • Period (Time) - know it and save energy. Would you be able to calculate when may the complete delivery happen from the beginning? See purpose.
  • Produce (finished or set Goal achieved) - is it successful? If it really resolves the issue and augments the business. It satisfies the wants and everyone.
We need assurance that we will be able to commit and deliver on our accords. We find these 8Ps to be a good start in IT and contiguous facilities related work. It can be used to complement industry best practices, standards and regulatory compliance. They make matters explicit and kindred with each other. Failure to determine important components from the beginning will prolong engagement (that is considered wasteful for proponent companies themselves). Benefits and value must be realized from all phases of a particularly huge effort and concurrently acknowledged by parties involved.

Jobs we observed in a system performance

They are made either any of the following- - Tech job, - Business job, - Nut job, or - Enterprise job. What's yours? Can you do it better from your existing drive? Whatever you do, your output should facilitate not just your organization's goal but a little more than what you originally planned. Leaders usually kept them in the mind, so subtle only them knows it, but with some useful and delicate strategies employed people really are doing a good job, and working to improve them, too. That's the beginning why corporate social responsibility, or even the consequential environmental, social and governance initiatives can be a potent move to do something, if pertinent or weighty is even the right word. That doesn't need an ostentatious resources but the effect is meaningful for stakeholders, everyone we meant.

iclassed privacy policy, unbelievable at first sight

Those who, before engaging us and was reading our business conduct, alerts and notices , could not restrain themselves asking, "can you really do your job without keeping any data at all? At the end of the day, you should still be looking at those information and make sure you did, and will, do well. I am expecting a lot from you here, you said so yourself!" Now, that last sentence is so loud. We keep them, not in our premises, but yours. If you've been our clients, you'll know how persistent we are when it comes to the reliability and security of your systems, data and credentials. That's our responsibility, as is made popular by cloud computing, and we don't need to be in a cloud.

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all...
