Why I Love Pay Per Post?
I saw these payperpost affiliate icons while browsing some of the websites and I became interested. Well, anything legit enough that allows me to make additional income interests me, so I browsed further and looked at the paid posts. What made me warm up to the idea of pay per posts is that most of the entries I read seemed to be interesting facts, not just plain advertisements, about products and places.
However, it took me about a two weeks (maybe more?) before I was able to take an Opportunity at payperpost (that means writing offers) since it took sometime before my blog got approved. Kudos to the support team because they immediately got back to me and helped me with my dilemma since I could not get a complete look at the opportunity details.
What I love about this gig is that it allows me to choose which opportunities to take and to write about. A quick look at the various opportunities offered for registered and approved sites made me salivate as there are indeed a lot of opportunities to choose from. Unfortunately, these opportunities are classified and you can only get the opportunities that fits the requirements (which includes blog rank, the hosting site you are using and your location).
I have yet to get paid for this blogging opportunity but judging from the earnings that most of my friends got from their posts, I am looking forward to finally having enough to buy that videocam this year.

COA probes P71M People's Park
Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte will take a leave of absence in line with COA's investigation. he has also irrevocably resigned as chair of the Regional Peace and Order Council, a post he has held for the past 12 years. Dabawenyos would not miss the name Duterte though as Davao's political scene is awash with Dutertes---his daughter Sara is Vice Mayor while his son Paulo is president of the Association of Barangay Captains (ABC)

Classes Resumes In Davao City
Davao's traffic is considerably better than Manila traffic but Dabawenyos still complain about the way the traffic lights seem to hold motorists on the queue. While there is actually no traffic, the time spent waiting for that light to turn green makes impatient people red with rage. Another cause of congestion along the city streets are public utility vehicles that get passengers wherever they want, even in the middle of the streets.
Traffic (and the problems that comes with it) is definitely part of Davao. Well, how's that as a bargain for progress?

Casino Right In The Comforts Of Your Home
I have never played a casino game before. Well, I've been inside the Casino before not to play but to watch a concert. However, I've noticed the different games being played and I would have tried the slot machine since it looked the easiest among the other casino games but I desisted, not wanting to look stupid in front of the other more experienced players.
Lucky for those who want to try playing the various casino games, now that online casino is all over the Internet. There are various online casino sites so you can take your pick as to which online casino site you want to try your luck with. But if you want to do it the easy way, Pro360 provides a convenient way to choose an online casino. The website presents a review of at least a hundred online casino sites. Imagine this: there are over 3000 online casinos and it would take you days if not months to try and test each site. With Pro360, you can just read their reviews of the Top 20 online casinos and take your pick.
What is good about this site is that it offers a bonus for those who will sign up. Every review page has a bonus banner. Just click that and you qualify for the bonus which, I should say, is bigger than most bonuses being provided by online casino sites when you go to their sites directly. All the casinos being reviewed by Pro360 offers the basic casino games like Roulette, Craps, Online Poker and my favorite, the Slots.
Playing casino online is easier than going to the physical casino. For one, I do not have to risk looking stupid in front of the other players. Plus, you don't have to travel and waste your precious time just to go out of your house. You can play casino games right in the comforts of your own home. Now, I can finally try the Slots.

More Call Center Workers Wanted In Davao City
The Business Process Outsourcing industry particularly the Call Center industry is still alive and kicking despite the recent strength shown by the Philippine peso against the greenback. This is evident with the mass hiring being done by call centers in the city since last year.
Call Center Directory has listed a total of nine call centers operating in Davao City. Among these are:
ADD Force
Bonusfon
Bottomline Interactive Multimedia Speech Laboratory
Buzzfon
Link2Support, Inc.
Outsourceit2Philippines.com
PeopleSupport
Trends & Technologies
Tricom Systems
However, there are other call centers in the city that can be classified as small and home based business and they may not have been listed in the Directory.
Another call center (not listed in the Directory and up to now I could not find its website so they may have none) is looking for 120 new call center agents to operate its 120 new stations as well as 12 Managers. The company promises to pay for the employees’ weekly salary and weekly production bonus.
Agents can earn from P18,000 to P30,000 monthly while the Managers can earn from P40,000 to P60,000 monthly. For those who are interested, you can call 234-5080 or 234-8250.
