One perspective we could gather in this short interview is that Asia has been continuously emerging and reclaiming its old glory (in recalling high school Asian history, a lot of the technologies, knowledge, religions and [in]famous personalities came from the biggest continent) ... We are slowly breaking down the regional barriers which distinguish one being a Western influence and one being Asian in character. 

Out of curiosity (and in the context of Filipino technopreneurship and what it takes to communicate effectively to the global market), is being in the Philippines (and being associated with the "Philippine brand" if there is such a thing) bane or boon to founding a tech startup? Or does it matter at all?

One of the challenges of Filipino startup companies is the ability to pitch their services and products to the global audience.  Do you know of solutions or suggestions for such companies to be able to sell to the Global market?  

Sachin Dabir, Sr. Manager at Red Hat Asia Pacific, poses an interesting question in his blog and he asks: “Why Indians can not make good IT products, but make good solutions.” Is it the same for us Filipinos?

Why is it that, unlike in India, there are very few IT/Tech companies (specifically software companies) in the Philippines have gone global.
