Proposals

1. 7107 Reasons to Love Pinas by Alvin Gale Tan (7107reasons.com) — I’ll be talking about a fairly new project wherein the ultimate goal is to accumulate “7107 Reasons to Love Pinas”. Literally, 7107 unique reasons! From big stuff like Lupang Hinirang to Dr. Jose Rizal to jeepneys to dirty ice cream (yummy!).The rationale behind it is: the more reasons we have to love our motherland, the more we’ll appreciate and take care of her.I’ll share some thoughts on how Pinoys who care – wherever they are in the world – may contribute to this ambitious collaborative project.
2. be aware and be concern about our environment by maria gracia nicolas (http://www.aghomebuilders.com) — This will be for the awareness of everyone about our only environment which is our life, on how to manage waste and prevent pollution. goal is to become aware and then at the end of the talk, the listener will be concerned.
3. KKK= kababaihan, kaya at karapat dapat(women, can and deserving) by maria gracia nicolas (http://www.aghb.multiply.com) — if others can why cant all the women in philippines. i am a project engineer and surrounded by men everyday who are working with me, i am the boss and i am the leader. this is about women in philippines who have inferiority complex, who are thinking that they cannot do thing on their own and this is about equality.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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’.
7. 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.
