We attended two seminars today, first is the "ASES: Summit Manila" and second is the "It's a TechnoBusiness!" 

For the fist seminar, it kinda started a little late like almost 30 mins. late because some of the participants came in late. And I also noticed that some of the team's used technology to help different communities and the economy. 

Bam Aquino was present in the event. He gave a brief speech about social enterprise. He is also one of the judges in the event and btw, he gave really good comments on the team's that presented their work. 

There were eight groups that presented their solutions. I actually think that some of those solutions exist already but they were able to modify it and some with the use of internet since a lot of people are on the internet already and most people spend their time using it. 

I'm actually amazed and impressed by the teams since they're not purely Filipino, they still care and help our country. They are very inspiring for us Filipinos. We should also do our part in helping our fellow citizens. If the foreigners can and so do we. 

Intro to Bam Aquino

This was in the elevator line :) 

Now, for the second seminar, It's a TechnoBusiness! , this seminar was kinda confusing since there was words that are so unfamiliar to me. And the 1st speaker was showing a lot of flowcharts. But then for the first speaker in this event, he really encouraged me to continue on my course, since I had thoughts on shifting to a different course. I'm really surprised on the starting salary a fresh graduate can make on their company.

For the second speaker, Julius Gorospe, the director of R&D in Samsung, really gave a good talk. He also mentioned that most of the people they get are from UP and DLSU (I'm in good hands! haha). And also Lasallians are not only geeks but they are also good in talking and communicating with people. Another is that its hard to succeed with our course with a little twist of business. (really thankful that I'm an INSYS student~ IT + BUSINESS? ) 

I'm also surprised that he uses an iPhone and he said that keep your enemies closer. 

Glad I attended both seminars :)
