You may not have noticed this, but as licensed real estate brokers, the government do not see you as a "professional" just as yet. Lets face it, our Department of Trade and Industry(DTI) license may not be as mighty as the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) license. To correct this and be finally recognized as a "professional", the DTI is now conducting all real estate brokers', appraisers', and consultants' examinations the same way as the PRC is conducting tests for would be professionals. This is a result of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the DTI and the PRC, in preparation for the eventual transfer of jurisdiction to the PRC.

JULY highlights the season of festivities and fun for RIZAL BOARD OF REALTORS®, INC .. Traditionally, it celebrates its anniversary month (which actually falls in June) but due to some very tight schedule of activities for RBR and its members, the Officers & Directors decided to hold it in July.

Of course, July is my birth month too! And did you know that being the seventh month of the year, it is very memorable too in God's appointed feasts. And I quote these verses which I borrowed from Leviticus 25 (well, seventh year or seventh month bears the same connotations after all) ... The Lord said to Moses on Mount Sinai, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: "When you enter the land I am going to give you, the Land itself must observe a Sabbath to the Lord. For six years, sow your fields and for six years, prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year, the land is to have a Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.Do not reap what grows of itself, or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The Land is to have a year of rest ... "The Bible is true and it is an agricultural fact that farmlands remained untilled for a month yield better crops and produce or the next seasons of harvest.

Going global should be the driving force of businesses today. It is a must for businesses to think out of the box and consider the vast overseas market. The term "global" is overwhelming for start-up and even established companies. There is that constant fear of not finding the right customers and registering zero sales. While there are risks, success in the global market can result in more profit for any business. Bill Dunlop, chief executive officer of Global Reach, stresses that businesses that do not go global are missing out a lot of opportunities.

A firm believer in global business, I created the G.L.O.B.A.L. acronym. Read on.
