TJ Agulto and Mark Ruiz - Social entrepreneurs; partners and colleagues at Rags 2 Riches and Hapinoy

December 4, 2008

Today’s youth cannot afford not to be extraordinary, claim TJ Agulto and Mark Ruiz, two of the country’s most promising social entrepreneurs.

 

TJ and Mark, an organizational change and consultancy coach, and innovation junkie, respectively, found their purpose in changing other people’s lives through social business entrepreneurship.  And this was their answer to leading extraordinary lives.

 

Partners and colleagues at Hapinoy and Rags 2 Riches, TJ and Mark set out to achieve the level of change they foresee in the country as social entrepreneurs, from a life dictated by routine and the security of the academe and corporate world.

 

TJ stepped down from his fulfilling teaching position at Xavier School two years ago while Mark left a high-paying management position at Unilever, to ultimately follow their passion and effectuate empowerment to those that need it most.

A brief preamble to the 2010 elections

December 3, 2008

“It is high time that we discuss 2010, not in terms of personalities, but in terms of issues,” says Jose Pavia, president of the Philippine Press Institute.

So if you’re one of the myriad of individuals undecided about your candidates for the 2010 elections, think about this:

Put to mind the most pressing issue/s that concern you…
…then review the candidates and match who perfectly possesses the qualifications to address those issues. 

Disregard popularity, or the opposite, and you’ll find out that voting would be so much worth it.  A wise vote takes ample research and discovery.
