MANIFESTO

-

I envision an educated, innovative, and entrepreneurial Philippines – a country wherein people can imagine, act on, and realize their greatest dreams.

In a world wherein knowledge and creativity are the new currency, a new generation of educated Filipinos becomes the all-important bridge to reach new futures. And it is by embracing a paradigm of innovation that we will make our country’s tomorrow the brightest it can possibly be.

The time will come when we no longer recycle other people’s ideas; Rather, we will begin synthesizing our own — a mindset-shift and cultural migration from copy-and-paste to invent-and-create. Whether it be addressing needs at the base-of-the-pyramid or designing new solutions for emerging industries and global markets, the Philippines will be a front-row participant in the ongoing process of creative destruction.

Our ideas will go beyond just being ideas; We will live in a permeating environment that cultivates and harnesses the entrepreneurial spirit in each individual. The possibilities will not only be endless, they will also be all within reach.

Myopic? Maybe. Utopic? Quite possibly. Unrealistic? Absolutely debatable.

After all, it is a vision of this very future that drives everything I do today.
