Typhoon Sendong (International name: Washi) triggered massive flash floods last December 16. This led to more than 1000 casualties in Mindanao, specifically in Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro. The typhoon also hit some parts of Visayas and Palawan.
MicroSourcing stepped up to help those who were greatly affected by this calamity. The PR and Social Media Marketing arm of MicroSourcing, headed by Nona Tajanlangit-Kooijman, worked together with Red Cross and launched the Sendong Relief Drive, encouraging all employees to share their blessings and donate basic necessities for the families who are staying in evacuation centers in Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro.
In a matter of nine days, MicroSourcing was able to collect 13 boxes of clothes, 251 MS Family Bags containing relief goods, two boxes of assorted medicine items, two boxes of rice, bottles of water, new blankets, and toys.
Cash donations were also accepted, with a total of P130,037.75 as of December 29.
Most of the clothes were delivered to the affected areas through the Red Cross military plane. Meanwhile, 170 MS Family Bags and two boxes of medicine items were personally distributed by MicroSourcing volunteers to evacuees in Tambacan Elementary School (Iligan City) and West City Central School (Cagayan de Oro). The rest of the donations will be delivered through Red Cross.
MicroSourcing is very thankful to everyone who supported this endeavor, from the employees and clients who have donated (cash and/or in kind) to the volunteers (from the management team and Creative Services Group) who made this possible.

In this season of joy and giving, MicroSourcing was given a wonderful opportunity to be part of My Dream in a Shoebox - an initiative that aims to give shoeboxes filled with school supplies to less fortunate children.
Now on its third year, this program was spearheaded by outsourcing industry body Business Processing Association of the Philippines (BPAP) and marketing communications company TeamAsia.
The first distribution day was held last December 19 in three schools in Lipa, Batangas. More than 700 shoeboxes and 10 PCs were given to the students of Tambo Elementary School, 400 shoeboxes and 10 PCs to Paninsingin Elementary School, and 500 shoeboxes and 10 PCs to Pinagkawitan Elementary School.
Nona Tajanlangit-Kooijman, Head of PR and Social Media Marketing, encouraged all MicroSourcing employees to be a Shoebox Sponsor. They gave shoeboxes with school supplies, while others donated Php50 for a set of items per box.
In the end, the company was able to donate more than 300 shoeboxes and a total of Php14000 in cash.
Aside from these, MicroSourcing also plans to donate five PCs for the computer laboratories of the chosen schools.
A lot of companies served as sponsors to this outreach program. These include Teletech, Chevron, Shell, FirstSource, PacificHub, Fujitsu, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Henkel, Avis, Stellar, Bank of America, ePLDT, and StarTek.

After opening a delivery center in Cebu City, MicroSourcing is set to open another office in January next year - this time at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Complex in Pasay City, Metro Manila.
This new office occupies the 10th floor of TwoE-comCenter, a modern structure that is designed for business process outsourcing (BPO) companies. Its features include an iconic archway that connects the two buildings. This creates a large window, offering a breathtaking view of Manila Bay.
TwoE-comCenter is registered under the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA), with 100% backup electricity, 20 elevators, smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, and a cabling system provided by the country's leading telecommunications companies. It is also environment-friendly, making use of insulated glass units and energy-saving air conditioning systems.
The building was developed primarily for the corporate sector, but it also has features and facilities for recreation and entertainment. It will soon be home to several establishments where employees and guests can shop. They can also eat and relax at fine dining restaurants located at the fourth level.

Weeks prior to the official opening, the Manpower Acquisition Department launched a Recruitment Caravan in select establishments throughout the city to find suitable candidates for various positions, primarily Computer-Aided Drawing Technicians who are needed by one of MicroSourcing’s largest clients. The company is also looking for individuals who can fill positions in the fields of IT, Human Resources, and Finance.
