signed a memorandum of agreement for Bitstop Inc to provide the
Dagupan City Government with Yehey’s Payplus Online payment
gateway. Hon. Mayor Benjamin Lim (center) does the signing for the

Dagupan City Government creates Philippine history by being the first city government to fully enable its e-government website .

With the deployment of the online payment gateway, Dagupan’s citizenry can settle, transact and/or pay dues to the city government via the Internet. This is in line with the Philippine eCommerce law which requires all government agencies to conduct their business and perform public functions electronically within two (2) years from the effectivity of the law.

(Dec 19, 2002) Bitstop thanks Sir Alex Mendoza and Sir Reggie for their invaluable assistance in conducting the wireless site survery at Southern Power Sual Plant.

They helped us cart our various equipment up 22 flights of stairs of the boiler building (64m from ground level). While the tests were not successful, Bitstop hopes to get back in the future with more powerful Cisco 21db solid dish antenna.The test site is about 27.9 km air distance away from our transmitter.

We never knew we looked good in Mirant issued hard hats!

(Dec 19, 2002) Message from Robertson Chiang, CTO Mozcom Central regarding his experience with KLS:

…”.. My commendations to the officers and staff of i.mind Caloocan (Ma’am Jaysie, Myra, Brian, etc.) who have been very accomodating, courteous, friendly and professional.

To those planning to get their staff certified on Microsoft products, I give my “two thumbs up” review to the Keystone Learning System. I took a total of about 15 hrs of Computer-Based Training (CBT) — about 3 x half-days (Saturday afternoon, Monday afternoon, and Tuesday morning), before taking the exam this afternoon (Tues).

I have actually never used Windows 2000 Professional in my whole life (my workstation is still NT4). Everything I learned about it for the exam, I learned through Keystone!

This coming 2003, MosCom will be giving a bit more attention to applications and services — both of which Microsoft technology plays a dominant role. Continuous training of our staff will be a crucial component for all our success!”

NOTE: Lest we give a false impression that Win2k is easy to pass, readers must be advised that Mr Chiang is a genius and ‘Techie’ in the highest sense of the word. Other passers took 1-2 weeks to achieve the same results as Mr Chiang.

(Dec 17, 2002) Pictures below show IT professionals from Northwestern University, Laoag and from St Paul University, Tuguegarao who were successful in taking the Microsoft and A+ certification exams. We were not able to take a picture of Mr Dick Chiang of Mozcom who passed his Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional exams. A common denominator among them is their use of Keystone materials as preparation for their exams.

Our warmest congratulations!
