"It really is more fun in the Philippines.

You can create so much fun with so

little resources."

"I went to the CR. But when I went out, I saw that the mother and father were
sleeping on the floor. I realized they've given up their bed for me!" - Graham

Walang iwanan means me giving up relatively everything that I had to the poor.

I thought, I'm going to set up a social tourism platform. We're going to create fun
and menaingful experiences for Gawad Kalinga all over the Philippines.

"Just like the burtterfly who isn't aware of how beautiful his wings are, I want
the Filipinos to realize their potential." - Graham #TEDxADMU2017

When I was a child, summer time for me meant spending many days, weeks, and months
beside the cassette player. I would listen to the radio and record the songs, then
listen to them again afterwards.

I had a penchant for dissecting songs and asking, "Ano yung meaning nito?"

"But is my mom correct? Nag-dedeteriorate nga ba ang quality of music ngayon?"

Gonzales tries to dissect lyrics to The Final Countdown by Europe and John Lennon's
Imagine.

"I wanted to be treated an equal," says Gonzales about the song Changes by 2Pac

The 90s sung expressions that traversed and broke boundaries of the self.

at the turn of the millennium, songs became more visceral. It was all about
ambience.

In the 90s, it was all about sound systems, but now it has become more personal."

Crazy Frog has now become The Fox Song.

Your generation loves KPop, even if we don't understand the lyrics.

"What does this tell us? Music is actually changing."

Music back then was actually loaded. Merong puzzle. What is the artist saying?

But today, deeply coding song messages for expression are no longer necessary. Why
is this? Because of social media. Social media has taken on that role."

Music now has more freedom to manifest itself in other ways. Music now has the role
of experience enhancer.

"Advertisers have become better at telling a story within a 30-second timeframe."

"Here comes a platform that has unlimited canvas, is more personal, puts the power
of creation in the user's hands."

How do we move on from the traditional way of storytelling to the new rules of
storytelling?
As most of you might agree, the hardest part of moving on is forgetting

But what if the story I wanna tell is 6 hours long?

And this is what Virgin Airlines wanted to tell. How is it like to be on a 6-hour
long flight with no in-flight entertainment at all.

That's the first rule: forget your time limit. Be creative.

That's the second one: Forget one-to many. Think person-casting.

"if you wanna make money, open a YouTube channel," jokes Estaris.

"Next, forget high production." - Estaris #TEDxADMU2017

forget story telling

Just because we're talking about digital media doesn't mean that TV can't be a part
of it anymore.

"But if there's one thing you should never forget is the core of what a history is.
And the core of it is the basic human truth that is told with sincerity and
intention.

I think storytelling will live on forever. It's just a matter of how it's going to
evolve.

People just have to be imaginative and adventurous with how they advertise.

Our next speaker is Mylene Abiva, President and CEO of Felta, Inc.

I kept training teachers and making them feel comfortable with robotics.

For me a robot is a machine that can make the lives of humans better, simple and
safer.

"Ano naman magiging career ng anak ko kung mag-robotics siya?" "Marami ma'am."

We need all these industries. We need people who can help create products and not
just be consumers of products.

I believe in inclusive education. I believe children starting 4 years old can learn
robotics. Hindi lang po ang matatalino.

We know that the Philippines can be the technology hub of the world.

We want to start them young, as early as 9 years old. As early as 15 years old,
alam na nila kung ano ang kukuhanin nilang courses.

We have physically challenged people. But we can teach deaf teachers how to do
robotics.

I want to give children the hope that you can be a scientist or an engineer soon.

Girls can excell at robotics as well as the boys.

Robotics isn't just for the geniuses. It's also for those who are physically
challenged.

Regardless of social class, you can learn robotics.

Robotics may seem complicated, but it's for everyone.

Our job is to watch for these desire paths emerging and pave the way for other
people.

We need to design for real human needs. Empathy for what your customers want is the
best indicator for success

Get out there and see what people really want

"What did you want to do when you were young? For me, I wanted something simple. I
wanted to be an astronaut." - Espiritu #TEDxADMU2017

Only 13% of Filipino students have access to science and computer laboratories.

52% of our IT graduates cannot even be hired for IT programming work.

We are slowly becoming a society without science.

You know what's a million times worse than having no science? It's having wrong
science.

"With the DiwataVR, everyone can learn aerospace engineering."

Unfortunately, robotics kits cost about $300, which is more than hat students can
afford.

How do you teach discipline to students? You can't. You can teach them what's wrong
and what's right, but at the end of the day, discipline is experienced.

Albert Einstein once said, the only source of knowledge is experience.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Our upcoming speaker is architect Angelo Manosa. #TEDxADMU2017

"I'm here to talk to you about why the Bahay Kubo works."

How do you balance man's needs and still be able to

How does one focus on the built environment while still [remaining] sensitive to
the natural environment?"

"The Bahay Kubo already had a very, very unique cultural adaptation."

One good thing about the Bahay Kubo is that during the hot summer months, all the
heat would dissipate through the roof."

"No one told them that 'this' is how you should design the bahay kubo."

The materials used were readily found around the bahay kubo.
[The bahay kubo] is 100% recyclable. I'd probably get a 5-star green building.

Whether you're designing a bahay kubo, a house, a townhouse, or skyscraper, the

fundamentals are the same.

The bahay kubo's contribution to architecture is its pure and honest design.

What is next for Philippine architecture?

How do we elevate a sense of pride for Philippine design?

We challenge ourselves everyday with the ideology that we stay true to

Cathleen Caga-anan, who is a human rights lawyer for the Ateneo Human Rights

"I came from an all-girls school that's known for rallying on the streets."

"with this kind of fiery environment, it was natural for me to find out what we we
really fighting for.

Human rights are rights inherent to all of us by virtue of being a human being

the international community realized that had they codified these laws early on,
then maybe the atrocities of the 2nd world war would not have happened

1) Universality
2) Indivisibility
3) Interrelatedness
4) Inalienability

"we also have the responsibility to protect the human rights of others

we dont realize that we need human rights because of these

but far from this, human rights permeate our lives like an invisible current

The only time we cry "human rights" is when we lose it. but is this the only time
it is relevant?

It's very easy to say we don't need human rights if we have it in the first place,
unlike other people.

Just 'cuz you, me, or the person sitting next to you has access to human rights
doesn't mean we dont need it.

Human rights affects all of us, and if we want to work towards a society that
recognizes all of these rights, we need empathy

Unfortunately, systemic inequality prevents many communities from achieving human

rights

Just imagine how much higher we can lift them up and in doing so lift ourselves,
our societies up

If we let our view of the world be merely dictated by our personal experience...
 then we risk ignoring the experiences of other people--we contribute to their
exclusion and leave them behind

It is important to learn their stories, to learn their context and be open-minded

We should not let our personal realities dictate our view of the world

We have to keep asking questions and listening to these answers so that we are
never in danger of asking the question 'Why do we need it?'"

Fr. Javy Alpasa, SJ is now giving the closing remarks.

"The problem with social entrepreneurship is 'hero-preneurship'."

It's about the spirit, not the person.

TED is not about the backgrounds nor the CEOs, It's about this red spot--this dot
that talks about the idea. Not about the profiles, but about ideas.

Before we talk about freedom, we [should first] exercise our freedom.
