He talks about a groundbreaking entrepreneurship program in his very own JAD Group of Companies, as well as his work in the Let’s Go Foundation, which have helped many Filipinos break out into their own. He encourages people to develop business ideas by seeking solutions to “irritants” around them and urges his listeners to “look at the opportunity before looking at the dangers... because once you see the opportunities, you will no longer see the dangers.” http://whynotforum.multiply.com/video/item/17/RAINMAKER_JAY_BERNARDO_PART_2 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 14:01:01 -0000 In this talk, Prof. Jay Bernardo shares his experiences as an entrepreneur, a manager, and an educator to illustrate how the spirit of entrepreneurship can be imbibed by anyone who is willing to look at things from a different perspective.

He shares how a dream project morphed from being the object of waking fantasies to being an actual production, and how its commercial failure allowed him to redefine success in his own terms. The talk’s highlight is Quark’s reenactment of a phone call he received from internationally acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino, showing how, indeed, the young filmmaker has come full circle from his early days of film-fantasizing. http://whynotforum.multiply.com/video/item/15/FILMMAKER_ON_THE_EDGE_QUARK_HENARES_PART_2 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 23:06:53 -0000 This talk by event sponsor Smart Communications shows how the “Why Not” attitude can be used to develop simple and ingenious solutions to everyday challenges and threats. Delivered by Public Affairs Head Ramon Isberto, it talks about how Smart has been helping communities use science in preparing for storms and their aftermath through the use of batingaw (early warning devices fashioned out of recycled acetylene tanks) and rain gauges. Citing that the Philippines has the highest number of Category 5 typhoons in the world, Mon underscores the importance of disaster-preparedness in local communities. http://whynotforum.multiply.com/video/item/13/MON_ISBERTO_SMART_COMMUNICATIONS_PART_2 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:40:58 -0000 This talk by event sponsor Smart Communications shows how the “Why Not” attitude can be used to develop simple and ingenious solutions to everyday challenges and threats.

He shares the 3 Ls that make up his creative enterprise’s design philosophy—Lust, Luxe, and Love—and talks about how “love” as a concept has forged his creations. Ironically, he says that beauty is not about what one wears or puts on one’s self—it is something much larger and fulfills a deeper purpose. He also talks about what makes a good product and why his shoes are valued the way they http://whynotforum.multiply.com/video/item/11/DESIGNER_BRIAN_TENORIO_PART_2 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:08:46 -0000 For a designer who has made a name for himself creating beautiful objects to adorn the human feet, Brian Tenorio defines beauty in deeper, almost spiritual ways.

Ted Gonzales, SJ shares the many experiences that led to life-changing discoveries and epiphanies. He talks about his work with the Center for Family Ministries (CEFAM) and the numerous retreats that he has created—covering such issues as pre-nuptial and family counseling, inspiring leadership, sexuality and spirituality, and others—which have changed countless lives and have earned for Fr. Ted an unlikely fan base. Deeply moving and inspiring, Fr.

She shares observations about the role that music plays in every Filipino’s life, and recounts stories of how the alternative education movement, RockEd, came about through out-of-the-box thinking, spunk, and a never-say-die, why-not attitude. She also rebuffs the belief that national unity must precede collective action, asserting that people don’t need to get along personally in order to do create positive change. In Gang’s signature style, her talk was followed by a performance by the avant-garde musical group, Radioactive Sago http://whynotforum.multiply.com/video/item/8/ALTERNATIVE_EDUCATOR_GANG_BADOY_PART_2 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 11:58:06 -0000 In this fiery, impassioned talk, Gang Badoy shares how striving to be heard as the youngest child in a large family prepared her for the path she was to take later on in life.
