The DYRD-AM Worldwide broadcast, via its website www.dyrdam.com, is already on it’s seventh year. The partnership between Auza.Net and Bohol Chronicle Radio Corporation continues to serve Boholanos around the world with live audio streaming and recorded broadcast of its regular programs. On July 8, 2007, the two companies launched the worldwide broadcast in a ceremony attended by local politicians and the business community. The late Governor Erico B. Aumentado said in his message during the launching that the political atmosphere in the province will never be the same again because the local news will reach the Boholanos around the world immediately. From a simple live broadcast only service, DYRD-AM Worldwide gradually added features to the website. Many years back, the recorded broadcast was added to allow listeners from different time zones to listen to any program at their leisure. Then a server upgrade improved the broadcast into studio-quality audio. A later server upgrade made it possible to have hundreds of simultaneous listeners. On the 5th anniversary, Auza.Net added the Android Mobile App to allow convenient listening of the broadcast from Android devices. The app may be downloaded from Google Play. This year, Auza.Net released the iOS version of the DYRD-AM Mobile App which is available on the App Store. Jerome Auza, Technology Consultant of Auza.Net, and Mr. Peter Dejaresco, Manager of the Bohol Chronicle Radio Corporation, remain committed to continue serving the Boholano community through the worldwide broadcast of Bohol’s favorite radio station DYRD-AM. The two companies also launched the digital archive of the front pages of the Bohol Chronicle on the 60th anniversary of the pioneering newspaper company...

His recent visit is his third trip to the Philippines, which was one of the first countries to adopt WordPress. To date, WordPress is powering 22% of websites all over the world.

The National Telecommunications Commission ordered Caritas Health Shield, Inc. and Center for Global Best Practices to immediately stop sending spam messages to customers of Globe Telecom. The order is expected to provide respite to Globe consumers who constantly receive annoying spam messages. The order is stipulated in show-cause orders issued by NTC against Caritas and CGBP, relating to separate complaints filed by Globe Telecom against the two companies whose agents and employees are involved in sending unsolicited promotional text messages to Globe mobile customers. The legal action taken by the telecommunications provider against Caritas and CGBP is in line with the telco company’s intensified campaign to combat text spam, prompted by constant customer service complaints on the issue. Globe specifically asked the regulatory body to order Caritas, a health insurance company, and CGBP, which offers various training and seminar courses, the payment of appropriate fines and penalties for sending annoying text spam to Globe subscribers. Globe also asked the NTC to permanently bar Caritas and CGBP, its agents and employees from sending spam texts to Globe customers. The regulatory body also ordered the two companies to appear before the commission on July 15 and to explain in writing within 15 days from receipt of the order why it should not be administratively sanctioned for such violation. “The NTC directive should provide some breathing space for Globe customers who constantly receive annoying spam messages. Globe will continue to exercise all legal means possible to ease the burden inflicted on our customers by companies that employ text spamming as a marketing strategy. Such companies should be forewarned that similar complaints will...
