IT'S TIME. I am a Filipino and I am now making a stand. A stand for God, my country, my people. A stand against poverty.
I will end the #1 poverty of all in our country: poverty of the mind & heart. I will replace my colonial mentaility with a proudly Filipino "BAYANIHAN" mentality.
|
God did not make a mistake in creating me Filipino. I am honoring God's plan for me as a Filipino by loving my country. I am joining the fight to end poverty, Not just in words, but more so in ACTION.
I will not stand by idly as millions of my fellow Filipinos go hungry while I pursue my dreams and build my riches.
|
I will take on the dream of those who have lost their capacity to dream. I dream of a prosperous, slum-free Philippines. A people who will not merely be consumers, but also producers.
I dream of Filipino brands which will be globally recognizable, Filipino brands that do not leave the poor behind. I, will produce such a brand.
|
Through entrepreneur-
ship, I will make this dream come true. Not just ordinary entrepre-neurship, but inclusive entrepreneur-ship. Living in a country so rich in natural resources, and being among gifted people, no reasons exists why I should fail. I will be my brother's keeper. I will help the poor become un-poor. I will make the poor a dignified partner in my business.
|
I will end poverty by creating wealth not just for me and my family but also for the poor because the poor is my family. I will use my TIME to make productive the time of the poor. I will use my TALENT to help the poor uncover theirs. I will use my TREASURE to invest in the poor and together we will build a worthy treasury for all.
