Last October 1 was indeed a remarkable day for me:

First, because it was my first time to actually get inside the newly opened Radisson Blu Hotel here in Cebu. It was officially opened last September 27, 2010 and the place is really amazing inside and out. You might nor find better photos yet on the web, but try to go there yourself. It's awesome!
Second, it was the very first Press Conference of Dell in Cebu with Ng Khai as their partner to achieve hyper-growth in the Philippines.
Third, It was an honor to meet Gerry Tecson, the very first Cebu-based employee of Dell.
Lastly, it was a great pleasure to finally meet Chris Papa, Dell’s country manager for SMB (Small and Medium Business) Philippines. Also met Ricky Banaag, INTEL's Country Manager in the Philippines.

The partnership's goal is to expand Dell's regional coverage, especially here in Cebu since Cebu is the second biggest growth center in the Philippines next to Metro Manila. With the help of Ng Khai, Dell will easily be able to identify their market in Cebu in no time. Ng Khai is popularly known because of their track record in the advancement and promotion of IT solutions in Cebu.
