Full time or gig? Asticom wants to offer Pinoys non-traditional job options

Tweet

The Asticom Group of Companies is looking to offer employment beyond regular full-time jobs, mindful that Filipinos may want to see more work options adapted to their preferences.

The shared services group, a wholly-owned Globe subsidiary, is committed to providing new employment opportunities in the next five years as the country slowly recovers from the impact of the pandemic.

Mharicar Castillo-Reyes, Asticom President and CEO, said there are many opportunities present, especially in information technology. It is only a matter of finding non-traditional approaches in acquiring, developing, and retaining talent, she said.

“Our goal is to provide essential opportunities and jobs to our fellow Filipinos. We’re looking at different ways of engaging them- whether they prefer to be a part-time or full-time employee or a gigster. Or they may just want to work on a per-project basis,” said Reyes at a recent media roundtable.

Having started as a staffing company, Asticom has a wealth of experience getting and honing talents. During the height of the global health crisis, when everything was on lockdown, the company had to shift and re-skill its people so they could bounce back.

“Even beyond the pandemic, it is the right strategy to pursue upskilling and moving people from one role to another,” she said.

Asticom’s subsidiary, Asti Business Services Inc. (ABSI), a business process solutions company, said they continuously hire people based on increasing demand from clients for a multitude of projects.

Although it typically takes months or years for new hires to become highly skilled or productive, ABSI is still determined to build talent and create programs to help augment their capability and skill set.

“There are a lot of opportunities in ABSI, whether they want a career shift or change, or to only work on some projects. And we are committed to helping build talent through capability-building programs that we currently have,” said Melissa Tecson, ABSI General Manager.

Creating new employment opportunities supports Globe's sustainability practice aligned with the UN Global Compact, which seeks to contribute to overall national development.

On the other hand, logistics solutions provider BRAD and engineering solutions company FINSI, both Asticom subsidiaries, said they are expanding aggressively this year in terms of coverage. The move is expected to bring more jobs, especially outside Metro Manila.

“There were a lot of people that got displaced during the pandemic. We’re opening our doors to give them another chance to get back on their feet,” said Richie Santos, BRAD General Manager.

“FINSI strives to highlight the importance of infrastructure and telecommunications in the country. We aim to build more fiber lines and provide service to several areas later this year, while doing so we aim to generate many more jobs beyond Luzon,” said Marc Kerveillant, FINSI General Manager.

Based on the January 2022 Philippine Statistics Authority Labor Force Survey, the Philippine unemployment rate was at 6.4% or about 2.93 million Filipinos, while the underemployment rate was at 14.9% or 6.4 million people, just as the country emerged from the dragging effects of the pandemic.

Francine Diaz—Cherry Mobile’s newest ambassador

Tweet

Hella heart eyes for the new G

Cherry Mobile is back with exciting surprises! With the recent launch of its 5G series comes a new and fresh face: Francine Diaz—Cherry Mobile’s newest ambassador.

Francine is undeniably one of the most sought-after actresses of her generation. Reaping back-to-back endorsements and projects one after another, this is indeed her time.

THE MAKING OF A YOUNG STAR

While the young actress ultimately shot to fame because of her character in 2018, her journey to stardom was nowhere near a walk in the park. Prior to claiming a spot under the limelight, Chin, as what her fans and friends would call her, has known the value of perseverance her whole life—giving her best in every opportunity that comes her way.

Her life-altering launch may have been a loose product of fate but her growing fanbase and mushrooming projects are all thanks to her demeanor and work attitude. Contrary to the glitz and glamour of her industry, Chin remains grounded and as real as one gets.

BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Francine is popular to the crowd of her day as the quintessential fun-loving and unapologetically real teenager whom a lot of them found relatable—"a breath of fresh air” as they would describe.

As the young actress recently turned 18, her goals are still focused on improving her craft, like the true-blue professional that she is. Her outlook and discipline are rather impressive, showing beyond doubt that she is wise beyond her years.

DOING MORE WITH 5G WITH CHERRY MOBILE

On her launch as Cherry Mobile ambassador, Chin shares how eager she is to work with the brand which she literally grew up to, “Nung bata po ako, napapaligiran po ako ng Cherry Mobile users. Natatandaan ko po, lagi kong hinihiram yung sa lola ko kasi yung mga pinsan ko po, naka Cherry Mobile din po sila. Bawal pa po kasi akong mag-cellphone ‘nun. Pero ngayon, hindi ko akalain na magiging ambassador pa ko ng Cherry Mobile, kaya sobrang akong na-excite!” she cheerfully narrates. Apart from getting her hands on her first Cherry Mobile phone, Chin also shares the excitement of working alongside her industry heroes, “I am so happy to be part of a powerful lineup of women--Ms. Anne, Ms. Heart, and Ms. Kim. I look up to them from how they value their work and their family to their sense of fashion.”

Cherry Mobile and its new celebrity endorser are much the same. Both having to face industry giants as they started, the determination to move in harmony with the fast-paced world is the common denominator that keeps the two afloat.

“Francine embodies the young, passionate, and self-driven market. Even at the height of her career where she is expected to revel in the limelight, she remains unassuming yet forward-looking. These are the same characteristics that help Cherry Mobile thrive many years after its catapult,” says Michelle Ngu-Cinco, Chief Operating Officer (COO), CHERRY.

Francine further shares how much she’s enjoying her Cherry Mobile Aqua S10 Pro 5G. This device is powered by a 2.2GHz Octa-Core Mediatek Dimensity 700 and is ideal for non-stop usage with 5,000mAh battery capacity. Plus, it features a 48MP Quad AI Camera and 16MP camera so you can step up your photography game anytime you’re feeling camera-ready. All this and more for only, P7,999.
