GENUINE ENTREPRENEURSHIP WORKSHOPS

Global Entrepreneurship Week (16 – 22 November 2009) is a worldwide movement of entrepreneurial people, with millions unleashing their enterprising talents and turning their ideas into reality. Last year, there were 24,966 events and activities run in 77 countries, attended by more than 3.06 million people (644,000 of which were in the UK!).

Young entrepreneurs on- and off-campus and independent Filipino spirits are leading the way for The Philippines to participate in GEW 2009 so that the Metro, provincial and national chambers of commerce and industry and the country's leaders in politics, business, civil society and faithbased sectors may follow.

MANIFEST GREATNESS

We come together thinking and feeling that there should be no poor Filipinos among the 90 million in the Philippine homeland and 10 million across 100 countries who, instead of living life to develop their full potentials, are left with no choice but to exist, if not to survive, from day to day, for the past more than 30 years.

There should be no poor people in the world – regardless of class, color or creed – specially for those who value work and discipline, selfdriving and gogetting, and doing, accomplishing and achieving great undertakings and endeavors, not only for thy self, but also for others.

There ought to be no poor nor there ought to be a culture of poverty of the mind, a culture of poverty of the heart, and a culture of poverty of the spirit among the inherently happiest people on earth, born in the naturally richest lands and seas of Asia, and whose creativity and compassion are awe-inspiring and life-enhancing.

There ought to be no sick Filipinos nor there ought to be a culture of disease in the mind and a culture of disease in the spirit among the inherently healthiest people on earth who had anciently known that nature can heal and whose hands and hearts can heal the world.

There ought to be no more elder or younger Filipinos who will live in a culture of constant fear and in a culture of relentless greed any longer, aggravated by the lies and deceit and synonymous impropriety of their leaders that their followers may think as all right and in order, anymore, be they of and by their own doing or undoing, because from this day onwards:

We take charge. We invest.

You and I will take charge of our own destiny.

You and I will invest our time, our money, our talent, our energy, our technology, our entrepreneurship, our resources in evolving our complex present from an uncertain past into a colorfully better future.

We do this because it is not only our own future that is at stake.

Our loved ones and others, they, too, must live lives in freedom with responsibility and responsiveness to the call of the times. They, too, must live in happiness and in health, as did our great ancestors from whose discipline, truth, wisdom and values this manifest takes inspiration, and better than we do today.

The future is here. In pursuit of enlightenment, let us fight for our future, your wellbeing, other people's wellbecoming. It starts in you and me, right here, right now.#
