Technopreneurship
What creature is this? Just some fancy words? If that is what you think
just believe in your thoughts hard enough as you throw yourself
off a tall building (Note : in Davao you only have 2 choices Marco Polo Hotel-19 stories or Landco
Bldg-17 stories personaly I would choose Marco Polo, Landco elevators are slOOOw and lousy, so is the rest of the buildingexcept for the Blu gre Coffee Shop on the ground floor)
But seriously, the new Technopreneurship program in Davao City, if managed properly has the potential to seriously put the city on the map. People (at least the filipinos) malign the Chinese for
accumulating such large piles of money without realizing that they (the Chinese)have to work from a very young age and learn to be entrepreneurs from the cradle.
At least a program/advocacy that I can sink my teeth into! Hopefully the colleges and universities
in the City will have a good launch of the program by June 2007 and probably will bear fruit in the next 2-3 years.
Unless the Dark Side decides that this program will destroy the sweatshop mentality that they
have kept the industry captive under for the longest time and start their underground campaigns to stop this. Come on! this is not the middle ages! Wake up and smell the Durian!
What we need is commitment and dedication, which some course in a foreign school or work/exposure abroad will give.
CARPE DIEM!

It's been almost 2years since I gave up the position of President of the ICT Council of Davao. Nice to have the title but it was lonely being the only one running this organization. People don't want to participate if their personal or business interests have to be put aside for the good of the whole industry. I've made enemies but also friends in the industry and it was so sad for me to let go.
After that I just lurked around the city and had almost given up on the industry. But lo and behold I was appointed as the ICT Committee Chairman of the Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry (www.davaochamber.org) Ha! to all my detractors Ha!, I guess if I wasn't good enough as ICT
Council President , I probably had to console myself as ICT Committee Chairman!
What Sayeth you?
