My first cousin used to work in Singapore. She was given a paid vacation by her employer in California and it was there where she landed in a finance job in the state of San Francisco during her stay. She is nearing her 10 years of living in the city of San Francisco and thus getting a green card for her. Maybe then she will take her first break and visit the Philippines after so many years.

One thing my cousin is not accustomed of is maintaining her car. Thanks to the help of internet she was able to meet RepairPal in the web. The company has San Francisco auto repair shops she can choose from and assist and help her with the car. Car troubles like timing belt repair is now easy to solve with various services RepairPal has to offer.

RepairPal deals with different car services and car models like honda accord. So whatever car trouble you may have and whatever car model you have RepairPal has a repair shop ready to assist and help you.

The internet is truly a powerful tool not only for research work, information, games, online shopping and socializing. This time the government of President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III uses this tool to serve as bridge between the president and the people. The new website will be a way for the government and the people to work side by side as they track the right path towards a better Philippines.

I have a reporter friend who emailed me his bad experience after buying a SIGMA 70-300 APO-DG Lens. He bought it in Hong Kong last June 27, 2010. Two weeks after, the AUTO FOCUS malfunctioned. The JT photo world service center of SIGMA LENS refused to honor the international warranty card issued by SIGMA LENS INC. until receipt or any proof of purchased has been presented. The rest is part of the email and I quote:

“In the first place who would expect that the SIGMA LENS AUTO FOCUS will malfunction in so short period of time and worst I need to pay 2,800 pesos for the defect. I should have listened to the advice of my photographer friend from INQUIRER that sigma lens normally has hidden defects. Imagine two weeks after the purchase date the auto focus malfunctioned and the service center did not honor the international warranty card.”

Sometimes the after-sales service really disappoints customers. They will make good promises for customers to buy their products and yet during defect and trouble times you will find yourself spending additional bucks for broken promises.
