  1. Looks like a very interesting workshop, Anton. I currently have a premier account with Paypal which is my personal account (since it’s under my name). Can I register to the seminar, or do I have to still apply for the EON Card to sign up for the workshop?
    As for the suggestions for your presentation, perhaps you can talk about the use of QR codes for the marketing ventures of restaurants and the like. Adding this on traditional forms of marketing (e.g. flyers, posters, newspaper ads) will make it easier for interested people to visit their site, especially nowadays when many Filipinos carry tablets and smartphones wherever they go. Introducing online reservations in their websites can also be helpful for those that are surfing on the Internet for places where they can eat and celebrate special occasions.
