bakit hinde? ( why not ?)

Manila, PH --
THINK NEW THOUGHTS. SHARE BIG DREAMS. DO BRAVE THINGS.

Another night of possibilities being created, new ideas and actions for nation building. Oh, and maybe have fun doing it, too. Bakit hinde? This event was held last night in Warehouse 135 where the usual scene is a little bit different, it's a place to dance or rock or both. Sure Radioactive Sago was there to provide some music, but it was a sober evening with inspiring talks by 7 ingenious pinoys (hmmm.. I noticed most of them were Ateneans). Pretty inspiring speeches by alternative educator Gang Badoy of Rock Ed Philippines, technologist Dr. Greg Tangonan, designer Brian Tenorio, dreamer- priest Fr. Ted Gonzales, S.J., enterpreneur Jay Bernardo, marketing maverick Dondi Gomez and Filmmaker Quark Henares.

I can hear my mind sparkling with new ideas and at the same time affirming some that I have started. Let's dig inside our hearts and minds what we can do for the Philippines. We all have those great ideas sometimes but we often stop ourselves with the question "Why?", now let's turn it around and ask ourselves "Why Not ?" Whether you are here at home or abroad, be part of making this country a better place to live in. Why Not, 'di ba ? Now say that with some flair, pseudobackpacker style! So, bakit hinde? :)

More info from their multiply account :
"Inspired by the TED talks (www.ted.com), wherein leading thinkers and doers share their thoughts, ideas, and experiences, we envision the Why Not? Forum to be the Filipino version, inspiring everyone to think new thoughts, share big dreams and do brave things. The WhyNot? Forum … Inspiring Filipino Ingenuity."

Just wait for the videos to be uploaded on their website !
