This Filipina Might Be The First One To Get A Job On Facebook After Mark Zuckerberg Shared Her Story!

On Tuesday, the CEO of Social Media giant (Facebook), Mark Zuckerberg, have shared an inspiring story on his own official account of a young Filipina woman on a small island where the only available job for them was to collect seashells was then later earned a degree in computer science through the free internet services Internet.org.

The woman was Riza Tachado hailed in Malalison Island in Culasi, Antique, travels on a boat everyday just to get to the mainland Antique to attend to school.

However, whilst writing her thesis, a powerful typhoon hit their little island so she wasn’t able to attend her classes for several weeks.

But this did not stop her from her desire to finish her studies and rather used the advantages of the free internet service Facebook is offering on her mobile.

My phone became a classroom to communicate with my groupmates. We used Facebook through Internet.org to write our thesis. -Riza

Meanwhile, Riza may have the big-chance of landing a good job on Facebook after a certain comment from Renee Gertjejansen Briscoe emerged suggesting Mark Zuckerberg to hire her.
Unexpectedly, the co-founder of the leading social media platform on this phenomenon have replied saying that it is a ‘Good Idea’.

This is an amazing story about Riza -- a young woman on a small island where the only job for women was collecting seashells, yet she used Internet.org to earn a degree in computer science.Being connected means having opportunity. We're going to connect the whole world so one day everyone can achieve their full human potential -- just like Riza.

Dahil hindi namin navideohan habang inoopen yung tetra pack eto nalang. Nagstart na class ng mga students kaya wala na sila sa eksena. Yung maingay na background sila yun. Hahaha! Malinaw to sa phone ko ewan ko lang pag inupload dito sa fb. Sana makita pa din. Mali ako ng nasabi about expiration date. What i meant was FEB. 2016. Pasensya na din po sa "yuuuuuuuck" it may sound maarte pero kusang nalabas sa bibig ko kase umiikot talaga tyan ko sa nakita ko. Habang kumakain ako ng lunch nasusuka ako kase naaalala ko sya. Haaay.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg,wife are expecting a baby girl

Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan are expecting a baby girl

His announcement already gained more than a million likes on Facebook and almost 30 thousand shares as of writing.

Zuckerberg also shared that they have trying really hard to have a baby and said that they had three miscarriages along the way.

Here is the full post:

Priscilla and I have some exciting news: we're expecting a baby girl!

This will be a new chapter in our lives. We've already been so fortunate for the opportunity to touch people's lives around the world -- Cilla as a doctor and educator, and me through this community and philanthropy. Now we'll focus on making the world a better place for our child and the next generation.

We want to share one experience to start. We've been trying to have a child for a couple of years and have had three miscarriages along the way.

You feel so hopeful when you learn you're going to have a child. You start imagining who they'll become and dreaming of hopes for their future. You start making plans, and then they're gone. It's a lonely experience. Most people don't discuss miscarriages because you worry your problems will distance you or reflect upon you -- as if you're defective or did something to cause this. So you struggle on your own.

In today's open and connected world, discussing these issues doesn't distance us; it brings us together. It creates understanding and tolerance, and it gives us hope.

When we started talking to our friends, we realized how frequently this happened -- that many people we knew had similar issues and that nearly all had healthy children after all.

We hope that sharing our experience will give more people the same hope we felt and will help more people feel comfortable sharing their stories as well.

Our good news is that our pregnancy is now far enough along that the risk of loss is very low and we are very hopeful.

Cilla and our child are both healthy, I'm extremely excited to meet her and our dog Beast has no idea what's coming. In our ultrasound, she even gave me a thumbs up "like" with her hand, so I'm already convinced she takes after me.

We're looking forward to welcoming her into the world and sharing more soon when she's ready to come out and meet everyone!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Zuckerberg! We are also excited to see your baby very soon.

Facebook completes construction of its internet aircraft

Facebook has announced that it has completed the construction of its first full scale aircraft, Aquila, that can beam internet connectivity from the sky.

The unmanned aircraft, which Facebook calls Aquila, was first announced back in March. It is part of the Internet.org initiative which aims to connect people to the internet in areas without existing internet infrastructure.

Aquila is made of lightweight materials including carbon fiber, has a wingspan greater than a Boeing 737, and equipped with solar panels. It will fly above conventional air traffic for up to three months and will provide internet connectivity to remote places using lasers and radio frequency technology.

Zuckerberg says that it can can transmit data at 10 gigabits per second and can accurately connect with a point the size of a dime from more than 10 miles away. Watch the video below:

I'm excited to announce we’ve completed construction of our first full scale aircraft, Aquila, as part of our Internet.org effort. Aquila is a solar powered unmanned plane that beams down internet connectivity from the sky. It has the wingspan of a Boeing 737, but weighs less than a car and can stay in the air for months at a time. We've also made a breakthrough in laser communications technology. We've successfully tested a new laser that can transmit data at 10 gigabits per second. That's ten times faster than any previous system, and it can accurately connect with a point the size of a dime from more than 10 miles away.This effort is important because 10% of the world’s population lives in areas without existing internet infrastructure. To affordably connect everyone, we need to build completely new technologies. Using aircraft to connect communities using lasers might seem like science fiction. But science fiction is often just science before its time. Over the coming months, we will test these systems in the real world and continue refining them so we can turn their promise into reality. Here’s a video showing the building of Aquila.
