Thanks for this article, Violi.

This article about your “encounter” with a Philippine-based call centre consultant/agent has reminded me to revisit the subject of call centres including those in Australia. About two years ago, I looked into the need for call centre staff being made knowledgeable of other countries’ Anti-Spam legislations – http://romeocayabyab.com/telemarketing-demands-a-new-focus-on-compliance/

The business of call centres has truly changed over the last two years!

If asked to verbalized how I felt last 17th of March, 2012, the result would be an explosion of words from overwhelmed, blessed, successful, elated, extremely thankful and more. But that night, what I will never forget is that we were ONE in spirit.

I’ve been talking about unselfishness, kindness and unity for a long time which has been absent in our society in awhile but for 2 nights/2 weeks/2months – we entered our new era; we have volunteers (amidst all the pessimism and a few arrogant claims) whose hearts were really in the right places, we have talents who have set aside their status and ones who stepped up of their comfort zone in the name of love and we have people donating their time, money and effort without thinking of recognition or getting anything in return.

That night was a testimony that with God’s blessings, everything is possible. It started with a small idea and we have been granted an awesome result and memories to warm my soul for a lifetime.

Bless, you have captured in your sharing what makes the ~One~ Charity CD special. It is not only the way we are raising funds to give material things to the survivors of Washi/Sendong flood, but it is also sending them the message of love, faith and hope which are the messages it imparts. I am very fotunate to have been given the chance to play whatever small part to help in this project. I am humbled by the talents of the artists and by the selfless commitment of the rest of the Team.

Mars,
I sincerely thank you for giving me the opportunity to be involved in this project; thanks for trusting that I could try deliver what was expected of me. I learned a lot from you [and other members of the cast/project] in the short time we worked on this project together. You are indeed an intelligent, knowledgeable, experienced, tireless, compassionate and passionate for many good causes in the the performing arts and in the journalists’ world. Your works certainly would live on past our life time.

Panatiliin mo ang ngiti sa iyong mga labi, lalo na isa iyan sa mga pumapasok sa aking gunitain kapag naalaala kita.

Maraming salamat sa iyo Dr Mars Cavestany sa pagbahagi sa aming mangbabasa ang mga kasaysayan ng mga kasamahan mo sa teatro na mga pumanaw na. Para na rin naming nakadaupang palad sila at para naming naranasan ang mga kapaligiran mo sa pamamagitan ng iyong mga kwento.

Hi there Sis B. You and your friends in Michigan are helping already with your orders of the CD. Hopefully we’d get more peeps to support the project. The artists’ talents are simply amazing and of course the songs by Oliver Gadista are equally so. Thanks for all the support.

What a team work you have down under! I would have loved to help, Sis Violi, if I was there too.
Such a worthy cause and such wonderful talents you have from Oliver down to the artists who contributed to the production of this CD…. including, of course, those helping hands behind the scene… Bless your heart!

Congratulations and more power to all of you!
Sincerely,
Flor

I definitely agree. We have “user”-friendly people amongst us who will weave themselves into your lives systematically and once they have earned your trust, they become abusive and selfish. Unfortunately, when the relationship doesn’t work out either because you question their motives, you can no longer give them the attention they want or even when you become their biggest threat (unconsciously), they become nasty and spray their “venom” on you unexpectedly. It now becomes all your fault (their choices, their weakness, their failures, etc) and now their focus is to destroy or discredit you. This is what we call in Australia USB – uneducated, selfish b**** or b****** (babae or babaero, hehehe – what we’re you thinking?)
