"Who has given the ultimate verdict that people are motivated only by money
--that the desire to do great things for the world can't be just as powerful
a driving force in human behavior?"
-Muhammad Yunus, Creating a World Without Poverty

Therefore, Usbong’s products and services include among others: 1) development of add-on software automation tools 2) training of client unit members The purpose of these is to systematically count, file, and calculate data using computers and mobile computing devices. In addition, as a technology assistance service provider, our metric for success in strengthening our clients is primarily based on our software/computer/machine’s quality, i.e. 1) speed, and 2) being correct. We are headquartered in Marikina City, Philippines, albeit the company maintains a network of people based within Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. |  "Usbong" in Filipino is both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it can mean "a bud, a sprout, a shoot". As a verb, it means "to sprout, to grow, to develop". In Binisaya, it means "to burgeon, to grow, to expand, and to flourish". *Here we define poverty as the denial or absence of human rights, as stipulated by the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights. |
