As I was a part of our small Buff team, so was he with the Manila Jaycees - an organization of Young Leaders and Entrepreneurs that caters to 18-40 year-old young men who want to develop their skills in business, networking, personality and fellowship. So naturally, we had to do something together. And as such, our first collaboration: JCI Manila's Entrep Summit 2009 - Inspiring Tomorrow's Leaders: ideas and stories from business people who are ahead of their time.

It is common to find a Filipino complaining about a problem repeatedly, but NOT doing anything about it because they believe that the system will never change. Given such a negative and pessimistic atmosphere, it would be close to impossible to achieve anything with such a select people doing all the acting and pushing.
