Posting my video from my talk on the Social Business Revolution Congratulations to TED fellow Rom Feria and team!

Unfortunately I had problems with the microphone so audio’s not ideal;

Sharing my presentation via slideshare as well below. I’ll find time to make a slidecast to make it more comprehensible :

thank you to Rags2Riches Partners Cream Silk and Manny Angeles’ no.twentyproductions for making this video possible.

Sharing with you Hapinoy’s Music Video, “Bagong Araw”.

The serendipitous story here is that last year, Bam attended a concert wherein our Head of Field Operations RG Salazar was performing with his band, Project Fusion. One of the songs they sang was “Bagong Araw” – to international friends, that’s translated as “Brand New Day”. Bam liked the song so much that he asked RG’s permission to use it as a Hapinoy Song, to which the band gladly consented to.

“Bagong Araw” was actually written by the band’s vocalist, Pabsy Pabalan; And the serendipitous twist here is that Pabsy would eventually apply to join the Hapinoy family – and is in fact, now in charge of our Communications. One of her key achievements has been the relaunch of our Hapinoy website, which has never been more true to our spirit.

Eventually, the song gave birth to this music video – thanks of course to our partner-sponsor, Smart, as well as Manny Angeles whose video production company made the MTV.

Enjoy!

Thank you to Jonie Bernaldez and FineApple for making this video

Thanks to our friends from Smart and Manny Angeles for making this video. Rather than giving the full presentation on the Hapinoy program, this AVP serves as a quick introduction on who what we are trying to achieve.
