CEBU, Philippines — Cebu-based immigration consultancy firm, PinoyCare Visa Center, Inc. (PCVC), made it as one of the country's top social media utilizers in advancing its business and reaching customers across the globe.

(PSME) and Sagip-Hirap Charity Foundation, Inc.

Mabatid, a Cebuana entrepreneur was also given the Filipino Star Achiever award in Business Management and Entrepreneurship for leading her company in employing exceptional social media practice.

PSME is an independent online data and research entity that aims to provide readily available information that may help individuals and even businesses discover how to make good use of social media platforms.
