The ending was cut and my last two slides read:

SUMMARY OF MESSAGES
- The things I hate are the things I love.
-- Seeing opportunities in challenges.
--> HOMEBOUND = going back to one's own roots

- The Philippines is our beautiful home.
- Going abroad is GOOD. We get better.
- The Filipino of the Future is a Global Filipino: Aware of his/her place in a borderless world.
- Not everyone will return but ALL can still be part of Philippines 2.0
- Returning home: Larger Impact on Society
- Also: there are lots of entrepreneurial opportunities
- While the Philippines is not perfect, Filipinos are not perfect. See it as a challenge and an opportunity.

 

Media details

Reflecting on his experiences in returning to the Philippines despite having a lucrative career abroad, Paco provides perspective on reasons for staying in the Philippines or going to another country. He then links this to his initiative, the Brain Gain Network, which networks Filipinos wherever in the world they may be.
