We’re having a booth in the 34th Philippine Business Conference from Oct. 20-22. The event will be held in the Manila Hotel.

This year’s conference theme, “ONE. GLOBAL. FILIPINO. Sustaining Gains, Surging Ahead” highlights the significant gains that the Philippines has achieved, complemented by its active participation in the ASEAN and global economic integration.

The 34th PBC is a convergence of brilliant minds and ideas from here and abroad – providing the platform to move forward with doable initiatives to instigate global competitiveness in the mainstream public consciousness, setting forth alliances between key stakeholders from both public and private sectors.

This venue for interaction and dialogue serves as the perfect tool for the Global Filipino Entrepreneur of TOMORROW as he situates himself in a thriving, highly interactive and competitive global economy. (source: Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry)

Although Oct. 1 was a holiday, I was surprised that people attended the Philippine International IT Expo 2008 to listen to my talk. My talk was all about enabling businesses with SMS technology.

Arriving from Korea a day before, I was in bad shape because of the change of weather. I was grateful that I had the energy to proceed with the talk and enlighten the conference participants about the benefits and features of SMS technology and how it can be applied to business.

I thank the organizers First Events Asia for inviting me as one of their guest speakers.

The first ever Global I.T. Policy and Technology Seoul Conference held at Seoul, Korea we a huge success!

It was a privilege to represent our country in the event. Speakers were from different countries worldwide. I am honored to be there as the Philippine delegate for the private sector.

Besides speaking in the ASEAN Regional Workshop, I learned a lot from the event as well since delegates from different countries gave a background of what they are doing with respect to Information and Communications development.

I am back in the Philippines to apply what we learned from the conference and we are hoping that they learned from us as well.

The Global IT Policy and Technology Seoul Conference is made possible by Seoul National University International IT Policy Program, Korea Ministry of Knowledge Economy and Institute for Information Technology Advancement(Korea). It was held last Sept. 26, 2008 at the COEX conference center, Seoul, Korea.

I was invited to speak and come as a Philippine delegate for the private sector in the upcoming ITPP Seoul Conference 2008 (Sept 26. COEX). I am honored to represent the country in the event. My talk will be part of the “Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in e-Government: Opportunities and Challenges” ASEAN+Nepal regional workshop. The program is hosted by the International IT Policy Program of Seoul National University(SNU).

I will be talking about how to use SMS in business and government. I’d be presenting relevant statistics on SMS usage worldwide. I’ll be giving existing applications of how SMS is used in the private and public sectors respectively.

I hope I’d be able to promote our beloved country well and of course learn from our Asian neighbors. I’ll be flying to Seoul on the 24th to prepare for the event and see Korea as well.
