Archimedes C. Gomez: Promoting business opportunities in the Philippines to Fil-Ams

Bright economic prospects continue to boost Philippine shares, according to an article in The Philippine Star (January 10, 2012 issue). Kristine Liu of Xinhuanet.com wrote that  “Investors’ optimism on the Philippine economy continue to send share prices climbing on Tuesday (Jan 10, 2012) to a new record high of 4,591.26 before tapering off by the final bell.”

This positive outlook on the country’s economy is shared by a lot of businessmen. Babe Romualdez wrote in Spybits  (of The Philippine Star) a couple of weeks ago that the Filipinos’ optimism is  “now paying off judging from the positive projections of financial analysts and experts.

Alexandra Eduque, changing the world one brick at a time

“We can’t just keep saying we want a better world,” said Eduque, who founded and serves as Chairperson for Habitat for Humanity Philippines Youth Council. “We can’t just keep saying, ‘Hay nako, when I grow up, I don’t want to see poor people in the Philippines.’ I say, if want to create a better world, then help change it.”

Alex, who is changing the world, one brick at a time, was first introduced to Habitat for Humanity as an immersion experience when she was in high school. She fell in love with the week’s work of service that she chose to spend the following summer months continuing to build, not only homes, but relationships with the community homepartners. “I chose to help Habitat for Humanity among other causes, because I believe that housing really is a necessity.
