A born leader, Phillip “Boyet” Dy attributes his indelible sense of leadership to the most unconventional of source—a father he has never known well. Boyet’s dad passed away when he was nine years old, leaving behind only a curiosity of what his father was like as a political figure.
“To an extent, the only thing that I know about my father is that he was a leader,” Boyet said, during an interview with Greater Good Philippines. “My fiancée pointed out to me that maybe my deep interest in leadership is influenced by the fact that it is the only thing I know about my father and in a sense, getting to know more about leadership is getting to know about my dad.”
He has become an active student leader for most of his academic life and is now at the forefront of promoting social change and action through his web-based, youth-veered endeavor.
“As early as Grade 5 I was already running for student council position,” Boyet said. “Even now in my line of work we do leadership development and that is something that I have energy for. This love for leadership, this interest for leadership is pretty much connected to my family background”
