Social responsibility as a Filipino

What interest me now a days?

watching and reading about social enterprise and innovation

Yes, I am an overseas filipino worker but sorry I do not have an interesting maalala mo kaya life story.

For how many years I have been very selfish and forgot all about my social responsibility which my family instilled in me...But not anymore

I am not very pro active but I do have a world vision child, it broke my heart when I found out that my previous child have to stop school but before getting this news I sent her a message. I told her the reason why I did not communicate often. One, I do not want her to think that she will be forever indebted with the help I gave her but to just PAY forward. It's more gratifying for me to know that she helped another person. And she should not stop dreaming and strive hard to be successful.

I also support  Kiva loans which is an online microfinance network. I lend as low as $25 to any individual in the world through field partners but I am Filipino bias so majority of my loan goes to women in the Philippines. When they have already payed me back I will relend it again and again. I do this anonymously giving not much information to the people I lend. I am already satisfied of knowing updates of their success.

In a year, my target is to set-up a socially responsible, innovative and sustainable business.

I have already accepted this fate and I will follow my heart....
