Change is Coming!

After a much heated campaigns the election fever are almost finally over. Pending the final canvassing of votes by the congress the people have chosen a new leader to rule the country for the next 6 years. The presumptive president is a mayor from a city down south of the Philippines known for his iron fisted style of government. What makes this election interesting is the process on how people now choose their leaders. Traditionally, we oath to go for people with great experience, plans, smart and proper character and attitude someone we normally call 'honorable'. This election changed that idea, people now go for leaders with real simple plans to solve recurring problems in the society, strong work portfolio to showcase their capability to govern and implement real solutions. Good luck to the newly elected president, I wish you well in your quest to change this country into something everyone wish it should be. Peace!

Last May, I was fortunate to be given a chance to visit Google at Mountain View, CA and attended the  GDG Leaders Summit and Google I/O 2018. Meeting my co-leads from the my own country and the rest of the world is an experience one would appreciate a lot, basically lea

Happy New Year!

Taking time to look back on so many things I witnessed and encountered this year, a mix of adventure, exciting, fun, stressful and heart breaking days meant to happen as a way to learn more things in life and at the end made us stronger than ever and much more wiser. If we pause for a while and try to understand the real meaning of life it is somewhat hard to really understand everything, the purpose, the way it must be lived, the destinations and the endings. With different perspective or views we can't really agree in all points on how it should be done. Each of us lives in a unique world, every day comes as a blessing to all of us and how we spend it will depend on our own individual likings. But as we open our lives to other people we tend to align our days with them which creates a new unique experience for us. No matter how we celebrate life the main goal for me is to be happy with everything, life is not an easy ride and it is a good
