Second batch of proposals for Ignite Manila 1
Posted on 10. Jan, 2010 by admin in Ignite Manila 1
Just processed the second batch of proposals, and without further ado, here they are:
- A ball can change the world by Nina Terol-Zialcita (www.ninaterol.com) — The Homeless World Cup is an annual street soccer tournament that helps give homeless people a second shot at life. This presentation shows scenes and lessons from the 2009 Homeless World Cup held in Milan, Italy, where Team Philippines came out the best in Asia and was the most improved program out of 48 countries.
- Recycle music. Recycle life. by Paul Zialcita (http://paulzialcita.multiply.com) — This talk shows how powerful and stirring music can come from a lowly five-gallon mineral water bottle, producing tunes that can rival even the most sophisticated instruments. Through this, and through the Aquadrummerz program, impoverished youth are regaining their dignity and confidence and are learning that, just like water bottles, lives can be recycled, too.
- DIY Music Production On A Low Budget by Erick A. Fabian Sr. (http://myspace.com/cerumentric) — A little research, creativity, resourcefulness and self-ingenuity is all that one needs to start building their own bedroom music studios and start making high-quality music, and eventually release their own albums. It is all possible with the availability of free music software from the Internet, low cost of computers and the emergence of DIY musicians who make their own instruments and discover new sounds using ‘circuit-bending’.

Beep beep! Heto na ang Jeepney! by Therese Panganiban (www.thejeepney.com) — “The Jeepney Magazine” is the first street paper in the Philippines, and in developing Asia. Street papers are publications sold by homeless / marginalized people, wherein 50 – 90% of the papers’ cover price goes directly to them. The Jeepney Magazine has two main goals: The first is the presentation of the stories and hearts of the Filipino poor. It is our intent to communicate the needs, struggles and more importantly, the victories in the midst of those struggles, of homeless people, to an audience that can make change happen. The second is the provision of jobs, with dignity, meeting or exceeding the Philippine minimum wage. The provision of jobs, is modeled by the over two hundred autonomous street papers in the world today. It is our goal for each of our vendors to sell a minimum of ten magazines a day, giving them an income exceeding, by forty percent, the Philippine minimum wage.
