EMERGENCY KITS MAHALAGA SA DISASTER PREPAREDNESS!
The magnitude 6.9 earthquake in Cebu zeroes in on the vulnerability of the Philippine population when disaster strikes. Residents of areas located on higher ground may be spared from floods and heavy rains, but earthquakes do their damage anywhere. They are the most unpredictable disaster of all. Earthquake victims suffer Injuries from falling debris, get trapped in rubble, are isolated in areas where there is no electricity or access to food or water. No electricity also means no light and no way to charge phones to reach loved ones. Homes and possessions may be destroyed so people are left to the mercy of the elements, unprotected even from dengue-carrying mosquitoes. Soon enough, post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression will set in. Californila.com, a personal shopping company in the US, provides Filipinos worldwide with emergency kits and other global quality products from the US minus the expensive intermediary fees and mark-ups. This is why LGUs and civic groups in various parts of the world, including the Philippines, are turning to emergency kits that are good for 72 hours to help people cope with and survive earthquakes. Why 72 hours? Because that time span is crucial after a major disaster. It can take up to three days for emergency services to arrive. Self-sufficiency is necessary for survival and to lessen the strain on overwhelmed responders. During those 72 hours people need food, water, shelter, medical supplies and ways to communicate as best they can. Californila.com, a Filipino-owned company based in California, USA, a place also always at the ready for The Big One, has produced 72-hour emergency kits for disaster-prone and disaster-threatened areas around the globe. Ishka Villacisneros, Filipina founder and owner of Californila.com, who is also an expert in emergency and disaster response, has now introduced the world-class emergency kits to...

Exclusive - Young Pinay Entrepreneur Creates Successful Online Business With Only $50
Ishka Villacisneros-Tusjakova is a 27-year-old Filipina migrant who lives in Los Angeles, California. She created a website called Californila.com (formerly Stuff2Shop) – “a Personal Shopper and Shipper” site that been very popular with Pinoys who love imported goods.” What was her inspiration? Shopping. Specifically, she enjoyed the products and the shopping experience offered in the United States. It didn’t take too long before her relatives and friends to asked her to purchase items and commodities from American retailers in their stead. She happily took this opportunity to answer their “nakikisuyo”, “pabili”, and “padala” requests. Ishka then realized how profitable this service was to other Filipinos looking to purchase items from the States. “My friends and relatives were the ones who asked me for the ‘personal shopper fee’ because they realize there are expenses such as time, gas and shipping. That’s when I started the ‘Personal Shopper and Shipper’ service,” Ishka says. At first, she conducted her business through Multiply, but decided to make her own website after discovering limitations her Multiply platform had. Ishka had a Bachelor of Science in Information and Communications Technology Management graduate from De La Salle University. She made her own website instead. When Californila.com was first starting out, they were receiving 5 to 10 product orders per month. Now they have around 5,000 to 8,000 orders a month and ship via SeaCargo and Air Cargo almost every day. She did it all on her own, with only $50 she had earned. With the money she makes, Iska can afford sportscars and her own house in L.A. She’s even employed her grandmother and other people from her community to help her out in her ever-growing business. According to Ishka, “My business is a reflection of who I am. Handling my own business feels like I’m in my own playground. If you actually visit one of our offices, you’ll see a fun working environment where employees would consider it a place to...
