In a culmination program organized by the city government's SHEEP-Computer Literacy Program and the OSCA dubbed "Lola Techie salutes the Generals" held at the atrium of Robinsons Place mall, Bayan's likeable Lola Techie lead the roster of special guests from both Bayan and the city government of General Santos spearheaded by Mayor Darlene Magnolia Antonino-Custodio, in presenting the certificate of completion to the more than 100 participants who have undergone the three-day computer literacy workshop.

As the inspirational speaker at the event, Lola Techie told the GenSan's senior citizens graduates of the program to never stop learning and asked them to continuously keep abreast with the changing times by way of mastery of the use of computers as a medium of communication.

She cited Bayan and the City Government of General Santos for their untiring commitment in helping the senior citizens, whom she said comprises now the majority of the nation's population, become more useful and productive citizens of our society.
Lola Techie said she is glad that Bayan as a service provider and technology company continues to bring to the market product and services like different DSL internet packages and bundles that are affordable, reliable and easy to use.

She also provided words of encouragement to the audience gathered by telling them not to look at their old age as a hindrance to be able to connect with today's younger generations as well as the coming future generations, but rather see it as a vital tool to connect with the present generation because of the vast learning experiences that they can offer to them from all that they have gone thru their lives.

A highlight of the program was the turn-over by the City Mayor's Office of five (5) brand new computer sets and Bayan Telecommunications' donation of internet connection to the OSCA in support of the City Government's computer literacy program.

The said donation will be used to continue offering of FREE training on basic computer operations and Facebook to interested and bona fide senior citizens of the city.

SOCCSKSARGEN Bloggers inspired Lola Techie to own and create a blog on her own. Let's wait for that.
