Transcripts
well she went college for a biology
course and she choose a course because
she wanted to become a doctor and I
thought that's a bit would make a very
pretty good doctor
I took BS biology from Ateneo de Manila
University because I wanted to become a
doctor I sent her to one of the most
expensive school at the nail with the
thought that if I invest something I get
something back so it's in economics in
return the return on investment and so
when she told me that she is going to be
a teacher and I said are you serious the
decision to go into teaching was very
hard for me some doubts came to my mind
what is going to be her career path as a
teacher
we stop on my game is sang my Gallina
penderson CI ban monumental like in
young king solomon me re something
yourself everyday was having a Gastonia
mugging pillow echo chambray LM not an
American diner major my pass uncle on
among para para my enemy yo Frank apple
or a banana mimic asawa McCarl come a
booty selling and mama mama scholarship
company Maha yoga teacher sob casino
went along an amoeba Guido celada
teacher now Magali community nothing
acquaintance features Nanticoke when
society gardens a teacher Sabrina and
favorite auntie Chelsea
I think that moment when I saw her when
I went to her class and observed the way
she teaches that moment really was what
you call the tipping point and I started
to be proud of what their achievements
we're teaching gave me a different view
on leadership teaching is all about
standing there in front of your students
and guiding them towards their dreams
their goals that's a different kind of
leadership and now that I have a
daughter who is a teacher like here I
felt so so proud and those thoughts
those doubts about the economic return
to my investment just faded away I began
to think that if this is what you call
intangibles in economics and that is the
the social benefits I get from my
investments to her meaning Ateneo and
now as a public school teacher I don't
pity my students I began to understand
where they are coming from because when
you pity them it's like you're telling
them you're still above them but as a
teacher as their teacher if I have above
them I can't help them move up I need to
go down doors I can push them up for me
when I stand there and I look at the
faces of these kids that for me is very
powerful giving their dreams and working
with them to reach those dreams that's
really what I want my life to be about
education is very important there is a
strong correlation between education and
development of the country and it is
very important for us to elevate the
level of education I think education is
is the foremost indicator of our country
good progress particularly how yeah the
absence of total education is applicable
to everyone in the nation whether
they're rich or poor that the same
quality of education is accessible any
country that's planning forward looking
for success is focusing on its
educational base I feel it really the
same way in the Philippines to see teach
for the Philippines getting engaged
attracting young fellows as they call
them leaders coming out of the
university system both in the
Philippines and abroad who want to get
back to the Philippines are getting the
magic engaged I guess in the education
system of the country
it's just such an exciting initiative at
this point in time the dish for the
Philippines benefits the students
because clearly teaching profession but
in fast
we'll be the features and the photos
will benefit the most from this this
program
HSBC supports pitch for the Philippines
for the very simple reason that we need
leaders we need leaders of men we need
leaders who are able to withstand
extreme stress we've seen time and time
again the young people who dedicate a
couple of years at the beginning of
their career getting back to young
students has led to them opening up
avenues for themselves later on and so
many exciting ways even myself as a
professional I think would be exciting
to find those people later on after
they've given back to the country and
find some way to bring them certainly to
the corporate sector the hemispheres
ability to capture the sense of giving
back the sense of commitment to social
development agenda of just wonderful of
a profit agenda I think that combination
is really powerful to see I don't think
that if people are more understanding
and can place their cells in the shoes
of other people I think this would be a
much better country overall I guess by
participating in teach for the
Philippines for all those young students
will get engaged it's it's just a chance
to really make
the educational system contributes
that's all I encourage the youth those
that just finish their studies in those
that are young professionals challenge
yourself leave a mark on the Philippines
immerse in this point so a team of fish
you belong talk about leave your mark on
the Philippines I encourage you to join
