Armed with the goal to accomplish rightfully what has been started and to provide sustainability with the programs implemented, Westmont Pharmaceuticals conducted its 2005 2nd Semester Business Conference last July ____, 2005 at the Holiday Inn Resort in Clark Field, Pampanga with 80 attendees composed of PSRs from Luzon and GMA.
Bannering the theme, “Turning Challenges and Opportunities,” the three-day affair was aimed at strengthening the real essence of service and commitment being Westmont warriors through inspiring talks, personality enhancement activities, group dynamics and review of the first semester performance.
To fully boost the idea of turning challenges into opportunities, Westmont’s general manager, Mr. Constante P. Calubaquib said, “We must have that burning desire to be the best in everything we do, to serve and run an extra mile in our efforts to live up to the standards of excellence in our work assignments and maximize the use of resources. Together, we should turn our day to day challenges into bigger opportunities and make a difference in this pharmaceutical industry.”
Competent and able-speakers stressed important facts crucial to the improvement of work ethics and better relationships within the division and for the establishment of good rapport with the clients.
A well-known speaker who has graced various speaking engagements in and out of the country about the culture of work in a certain business and how to manage work effectively, Mr. Rolando Quintos spoke about Seven Ideas and Principles of Positive Thinking. He mentioned that in order to enjoy solitude, we must sit in silence and listen to the inner whisperings of our hearts. We must learn to eliminate our enemies by making them partners instead. Indeed, a timely lecture fitting to aid us in turning challenges in our work environment to opportunities.
Another equally competent lecturer who has been an international figure in public speaking, a medical doctor by profession, Dr, Ramon Alava expounded on the theme, Turning Challenges into Opportunities by citing that our fate is measured by how we picture things, how our thoughts transform those pictures, how we act according to what we think, how our habit becomes our character and finally, how it shapes up our destiny. His lecture proved to be lively through several group dynamics which elicited cooperation and unity among the PSRs and managers alike.
Having been graced by the presence of the chief executive officer of Unilab, Mr. Carlos Ejercito, placed everyone in high spirits during his inspirational message as he shared how Mr. J. Y Campos, Unilab’s founder, despite his ailment, is still very interested in the affairs of the company, particularly, how each and every Unilab employee is doing. Likewise, he presented the goals for the second semester of Unilab at-large and noted Westmont’s contribution in the achievement of the company goals.
The last day of the conference was allotted to the presentation of area by line with respect to their first quarter performance.
The event proved to have revived the spirits of every Westmont warrior thus, embracing the idea of “The Way of the Samurai” as conceptualized by a Tom Cruise movie, The Last Samurai, which means, “Having the Heart to Serve”. The foundation of the second quarter performance of every Westmont PSR lies on how one turns challenges into opportunities through hard work, perseverance and sincerity.

I do not have anything against the current government. Well, atleast to be frank about what’s happening, i just have very few concerns though. You see, its been quite a while since i consider Metro Manila an oasis, my refuge.. my home away from home.
Its quite unusual that i do not get homesick or whatsoever because of the nature of my work (read: communicate, interact with my fellow humans). Now, my concerns include the heavier traffic along la salle schools (those in greenhills, which is the way to my office and in taft, when going home).
I have analyzed that the ratio of a "sundo" to a student is indeed 1:1. So you can just imagine the supposedly public highway becoming a parking area for these "haves". What about the "have-nots?" I’m not trying to aggravate the situation by complaining. I just wanted to stress out the importance of being considerate and knowing what social responsibility truly means. I do not want to lecture about it because i too am not a perfect citizen, atleast, im a tax payer now.
My question is, what are other remedies available (if there’s any) to actually provide decongestion in these areas where i frequent most, otherwise, i’d always end up telling myself, "one-day, government infrastructures will comprise most of fly-overs and c-6, c-7’s (apart from c-5) instead of additional classrooms, clinics which our country badly needs.
I do not wish to carry all the burden of our public servants neither do i want to run for a public office someday, i just feel the need to exercise my freedom of thought and expression until democracy lasts…

Good, i slept too long. I had a not-so productive weekend. I may have slept a few hours compared to my usual habits but i felt too much of it made me sick and bored.
I have lots of things to do actually and i haven’t started any. My mind is going nowhere. Lately, i was hooked or should i say, mesmerized with a certain boy classmate in school and the experience taught me to be a lot wiser and strong this time.
I do not want to go in to its sordid details because it wasn’t worth sharing after all.
