Today, we celebrate two things. We close the book on our Golden Anniversary and open a new chapter into the next 50 years.

As #OnePBSP, we can continue to do good and contribute toward a more sustainable, inclusive, and humane recovery.

And while we respond, we should not lose sight of our North Star: fighting poverty and inequities especially amongst the most vulnerable and downtrodden.

#OdettePH is looking more and more like Yolanda, in scale and in its devastation. Private sector and citizens have predictably stepped up but that won't be enough; we need government to lead and act. Individual resilience can only fill in space before collective action kicks in.

Paalam at maraming salamat, PNoy.

.@PBSPorg has served as the social development arm of Philippine businesses since December 1970. The context has evolved but our mission and ethos have remained -- how can we bring the best of the private sector into the challenges of poverty reduction. #PBSPat50 #PBSP50andBeyond

“So much of our politics, our public life, our public discourse, can seem small and mean and petty, trafficking in bombast and insult, in phony controversies and manufactured outrage. It’s a politics that pretends to be brave but in fact is born of fear.”-Obama's eulogy to McCain

[Elvin Uy @elvinuy]

@tonyfernandes I hope you at least consider complaints aired directly to you. It’s insignificant but I for one will not fly @AirAsiaFilipino again until this is addressed. It’s not even the amount involved, it’s the fact that AirAsia thinks they can screw their passengers.

[Elvin Uy @elvinuy]

@tonyfernandes I don’t understand why AirAsia checkin system doesn’t sit passengers on the same flight booking together by default, and that we are forced to pay a change seat fee instead. Why would you jeopardize your goodwill with passengers just to score a few more bucks?

[Elvin Uy @elvinuy]

@tonyfernandes It’s incredibly anti-passenger, and I don’t even know of any other (budget) airline that does that. It’s akin to asking moviegoers to pay a premium if they want to be seated next to their companions to watch a movie. I don’t know how aware you are of these minutiae

[Elvin Uy @elvinuy]

@AirAsiaFilipino I booked a flight for MNL-TAC and back for 2 and tried to do online checkin. For the TAC-MNL flight, my companion and I are not seated next to each other and I’m forced to pay to change either one of our seats. This is ridiculous and really terrible service.
