Yeah, sounds like a movie (Searching Bobby Fischer). I should have changed the title to “Googling Conrado Valix”. Nah, nevermind.
I was wondering of late why there were just too many people who maybe were lost in the cyberspace and found their way to my entry regarding the Financial Accounting I, 2006 Edition by Atty. Conrado Valix and Jose Peralta. These visitors are mostly students from schools in different parts of the country (Philippines), who are (maybe) fanatics of Atty. Valix (okay, I am a fan myself). My blog was even mistaken for a fan site or something like that.
Then, I tried googling for the keyword “Conrado Valix” and guess what I discovererd:
- Google – No. 1 in the search result page.
- Yahoo! – No. 1 in the search result page.
- MSN – No. 3 in the search result page.
Refining the search query yielded in a more interesting result. For a keyword “Financial Accounting by Conrado Valix”, my site ranked simply number one in all the big three search engine sites! (Note that these results change over time)
So that explains it, huh!
That should surely explain The J Spot’s entry on “Why Celebrities Should Blog“. He also cited another reason here.
Conrado Valix, being a public figure especially to accountants from college students to professionals, should start blogging. By this manner, it will pave the way at which students and professionals alike can contact him. It can be a ground where he can solicit feedbacks from readers of is “renowned” books on accounting.
Nonetheless, it’s even more ironic to note that CPAR (CPA Review School of the Philippines), being an established institution in the world of Filipino Accountants where Atty. Valix is one of the founders and the current director, doesn’t have a website (I think I’ve already said before). It’s one of the review centers that has produced and is still producing the best accountants in the country (or maybe even in the whole world), and yet it doesn’t yet have a space in the world wide web. (Or maybe it has, but it was not just optimized for search engines, I don’t know. If that’s the case, time to hire an SEO professional.) Imagine just how many students are maybe searching for its site everyday. Thus, maybe lost reviewees (and revenue).
Access to internet nowadays are becoming more widespread and cheaper. One should really reevaluate its marketing strategy.
(What do you think Domeng? –if you read this post)
well, i’m one of the lucky ones who met the great conrado valix and am proud to say a product of CPAR.. Well i think the reason they don’t have a website is that they prioritize more on the review proper not on advertising CPAR.. and it really yields great result..

hello po, tanong ko lang po tungkol sa pre-emptive rights or right of preemption, kung sakali po ba na nagdagdag ng capital ang isang corporation at ang ilang stockholders ay nagwaive ng kanilang preemptive rights, pwede po kaya na ang kumuha ng rights ay ang iba pang mga shareholders?
It depends on the provision about that rights and in the charter. Oftentimes, these rights you can sell to other people, including the other stockholders.
thank you po for the comments
excuse me po…meron na po bang latest edition ng Financial Accounting? Thx po …
i am an accountant student taking the subject “intermediate accounting”. i just want to ask if how can i amortized the cost of accounts receivable if the given account was just: beginning accounts receivable; beginning allowance for uncollectible accounts; sales during the year; cash received during the year; accounts written off during the year. in the cash received, there was included a 15 and 10 day discount and a recoverable written off, does it affect to the amortized cost of accounts receivable?
*thank you for future response (if any):D*
hope you understand sir..i’m in the peak of difficulty of being an accountant8
I’m sorry, I don’t get what you mean.
Im planning to purchaSE complete set of accounting book with answer key for the solution by Valix. where can i buy and how much?
please email the information at yakuni28@yahoo.com
;the amortized cost is the same as the net realizable amount/value of accounts receivable.i’ve answered the same problem but i can’t explain it because i’m not really good in explaining.
if amortized cost of a/r = nrv, then that would be accounts receivables less allowance.. for jchelle, you may want to use the t-accounts for simple representation.. i hope what i wrote here is correct. hihihi
