"Shiela has been a part of my business for over a year and was THE BEST decision I made in 2020! Before I hired her I was turning business away as it was just me. I was out of time, lost in systems & processes and stuck! She went bove and beyond her assigned tasks to design and implement new strategies and systems that had an immediate impact on my income. To say she “works for me” is not true. Because she thinks like a business owner (because she is one) she IS an integral collaborative partner in my business. I can honestly say that anyone Shiela chooses to work with will find her a shining diamond in their business."

"Shiela took over the marketing at both of my clinics. She is a Rockstar at social media. She juggles copywriters and web people and holds them accountable. She is not only able to create a strategy, she can implement. She also communicates and tracks progress for us non marketing people."

"Shiela is a dedicated and hard-working professional I have come across. She is always thinking of ways to make things better. During her time with Hoiday Factory, she showed a strong team spirit and would help in any way possible. She never turned down a task and surprisingly always had time to do more. She is organized and will go out of her way to provide results. Being a quick learner she would take initiative and do things proactively. Shiela is definitely a valuable asset to any company that decides to work with her."

"Shiela is AMAZING. Best virtual assistant/project manager I've ever worked with. Incredible professionalism, communication skills, and follow through. You will not find better talent."

"Wow just wow! I have been working with Shiela for a while now, and she has been such an asset to my business. I was impressed from our initial conversation, at her knowledge, her ability to quickly learn and understand my business model, plus the messaging I share with my audience then apply it to our social media strategy. She does a fabulous job at designing content in Canva, she manages multiple social media accounts for me. She is always upbeat and has a can do attitude. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone interested in taking on a VA specializing in social media and content creation. Thank you Shiela for being so fantastic."

“I have known Shiela for over two years. She has worked for me and my company for two years as a content writer, a social media marketer and setting up a radio podcast for our company. All the times I have found Shiela to be very reliable, hard-working, conscientious, creative, taking initiative, peace-loving, courteous, always seeking for solutions and ready to go the extra mile. I am happy to recommend Miss Shiela Mae Pialago as she can work independently and also be an active member of a team. She will certainly be a very positive asset to any structure that she will join.”

I am delighted to recommend Shiela Pialago as a marketing professional. I have worked with her for several years, and she has excelled in every role. Shiela exhibited the highest levels of productivity I have ever seen during my 30 years of marketing. Shiela started as a part-time virtual assistant and with her hard work and dedication, she walked up the ladder to become a manager in her department.
Shiela is extremely articulate, proactively hard-working, and incredibly efficient. She always takes the initiative to go beyond the expected parameters of her position consistently completing high-quality marketing projects on deadline. I have given her a multitude of different projects and she is very adaptable and imaginative. All the intangibles that lead to a great employee, leader, and marketing professional are in order with Shiela. She has earned great respect not only from her subordinates but also from her seniors. I recommend Shiela with full confidence and without any reservations. She will be an excellent addition to your team. She has an extraordinary rapport with co-workers and everyone enjoys working with her. She would be a credit to your organization 10x over.

A successful fundraising event for Virtual Assistants and Freelancers on starting their careers as online professionals, organized and hosted by yours truly. All proceeds went to 2 NGOs close and dear to my heart. We were able to raise PHP 25,000 for each, all thanks to our aspiring VA attendees and primary sponsor, TARTLE.co
Mayari Animal Rescue Organization, Inc. (MARO) is a non-profit organization, SEC-registered and located in Cebu City, Philippines. They promote compassion for all species and not to discriminate animals based on their breed, species, size or condition. We provide help for the suffering animals right on the spot and within their familiar environment as much as we relocate worse cases to our shelter for intense care.
Children of Asia – Philippines provides crucial educational opportunities and vital services to vulnerable children from the poorest families in the slums of Cebu city. The organization hopes that by providing the disadvantaged populations with sustainable access to quality education and involving the family and community in each child’s education, they’re allowing these children to build themselves a better future and to escape poverty in the long term.
