The Annual Stockholders Meeting is an opportunity for a company’s shareholders to listen to their executives talk about the firm’s performance during the past year and plans and projects for the upcoming year. Also during this time, major issues related to the operations of the business are tackled and several high-level decisions that need stockholders’ approval are discussed.
Here’s a list of the Stockholders’ Meetings of some of publicly-listed Philippine firms. If you own shares of these firms before the ex-date (four days before the Record Date), you are eligible to participate in the Meeting. Normally, you just need to bring a Certification that you own shares of company to be able to attend the meeting. Contact your broker for details on how you can get this Certification.

Google’s April Fool’s joke: Adsense for Conversations
Google does have a funny side and it shows every year in its collection of April Fool’s Day hoaxes.
In the past, it offered TISP, a free broadband service that would make use of a standard toilet and sewage lines to provide free Internet connectivity.
It also launched Google Romance, an online dating service which uses “Soulmate Search” to get back search results that could, in theory, include the love of one’s life.
Google started venturing into food and beverage too by introducing Google Gulp, a line of “smart drinks” designed to maximize people’s surfing efficiency by making them more intelligent, and less thirsty.
This year, Google took the contextual advertising power of Adsense further by offering Adsense for Conversations.
Adsense for what? That’s Adsense for real and actual conversations, where people talking will “begin displaying ads that are relevant to the topics you’re discussing — in an unobtrusive screen above your head.” (see image)
