Starting all over again being with uLog here on Hive, I am proud to share to everyone that we, in the Business Process Outsource Industry under the Contact Center category, are the ones driving the economy during this covid19 pandemic period.
Thankful and grateful to every #frontliners considerably the real heroes of today, we are still proud to be second to them.

I am thankful to the company that I am currently working with because they have given us the chance to still do our duties and took care of everything for us. Daily travel vehicle, FREE three-star hotel accommodation, FREE FOOD 3x a day, Double Pay, Triple pay during the two Holiday's covered, free snacks, free vitamins, laundry allowance and a lot more added premium incentives for our performance.
We are treated like we are the clients whenever the expats from the United States visit the site.
All we need to do is just work hard and do our best on the production floor and just spend our normal lives after shift inside the hotel.
Yes we can cook there if want to but then having all the free food that the company is providing, we have only done this cooking only once in almost two months of staying inside the hotel. Sweet isn't it?
After shift, a good bed should always be needed for a great sleep. For us to feel fresh, renewed and envigorated.

U-Hotel, Makati City.
And of course a nice TV to watch a good movie before we go to sleep.
I truly admire the front-liners because they are continuously sacrificing themselves for their fellowmen. I did this art for them.
But please, we are also asking the local authorities to be more understanding of our situation as well that we need to travel everyday to go to work and help the economy thrive at this time. To everyone, never look down again on a person working in a call center. Instead, uplift our spirits, motivate us more because we deal with problems of other people on a daily basis. We are literally gargling pressure and stress on this kind of career we have chosen.
Thankful for this gift given to us by the admin of U-Hotel and the note says they are proud and thankful to accommodate us because we are the "unsung heroes of the economy". We also provide their staff a work to do to generate income at these times where 90% of the businesses are closed.
Our tax have soared to twice that is normally being deducted to our gross pay because of the added premiums that we have due to being entitled to have extra added to our pasic pay since the business is open during the Quarantine period.
We never forget to just treat ourselves with whatever we want to eat.
Making the most out of it, I am also being wise with my finances because my salary had doubled each pay out (twice a month) I am a responsible son so I was able to send my mom a 5-digits remittance. This was my first time to actually do that when I started working in a call center. Each time was only four digits.
I also saved much at this journey of my life during this pandemic.
Thanks everyone who have been a part of my life during this period of distress. I am lucky I was not able to feel the hardships that some of the people all over the world might be experiencing because of this current situation.
I don't wanna stress more information about how our industry contributed to the stability of our Philippine Economy because this will result to adding pain to the wounds of the people who gained the Social Amelioration funds. I don't have anything against the fact that we were exempted from receiving any financial assistance from the government. It seems I am kinda greedy if I have even thought about it. To all my fellow taxpayers - stop ranting on social media and just look for other earning opportunities to augment our budget for our daily expenses. please hear me out!
This uLog Post is also the summary of my life during this pandemic. It was fun just being by yourself after shift and with the company of my crazy team-mates if I am at work.
Glad to share this moment of my life where I am not just a celebrity but a hero just like the frontliners. I could only be that person here on.....
