A New Chapter in Philippine History: Yehey! Goes Public

After 14 years, Yehey.com has finally went public last October 18, 2012 at the Philippine Stock Exchange. It was my first time to go to the floor of the Philippine Stock Exchange. I have always imagined it as a place with rowdy people because of how movies portray it. However, it is actually quite peaceful. The people are just on their phones talking in a low voice. The only voice I heard that morning is the voice of Issa Litton who was the host of the ceremony.

Vantage Equities Inc President Wilson Sy said in his speech that a digital marketing company has never been listed in the Philippines before. It is truly a historical moment not just for Yehey! that day but also for the Philippines.

Yehey! General Manager Jay Arellano introduced "Yehey! Bloggregator" which will put all Filipino bloggers under one roof. It is like a directory of blogs to help the Filipinos look for topics and articles that would interest them at the same time, it is an area where Filipino bloggers get their exposure & their articles will be read.

When the speeches were over, the Board of Directors of Yehey! went to the stage and waited for 9:30am to ring the bell which symbolizes the opening of Yehey! as a publicly listed company.

After the ceremony, since it's my first time inside the Philippine Stock Exchange trading floor and it's also the first time of Issa being there, we had to take the opportunity to have our photo ops.
