People learn best when they discover things for themselves. Knowledge is usually insufficient to change behavior. It is our own discoveries that change behavior.

Your experiencing self does the living, but your remembering self makes the choices.

We live our childhoods at least twice. First, we live through them with eyes of wonderment. And then later in life we have to revisit them to understand what it all meant.
-David Brooks
We cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life‘s morning, for what was great in the morning will be little at evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening have become a lie.

Happy to share that we at DTI will provide wellness leave to our job-order / contract-of-service personnel. Because employee wellness should be status blind.
Alignment meeting with DOST to improve product certification for our exports. DOST’s testing centers like ITDI and FNRI are integral to making local products export-ready.
Thanks to Usec Leah Buendia, Usec Donet Sahagun, and Asec Rod Calzado for meeting the SME Compete team.

Congratulations @DtiPhilippines for this tastefully curated MSME Hub! Now, I know where to send my friends when they’re looking for a showcase of what we have to offer. Nakaka-proud!
PS Thanks, Asec @kris_ablan for introducing me to this Hub and to the wonderful DTI team!

A Harvard student told me something I can't stop thinking about. When they go to the library, every single screen has ChatGPT open. Homework that used to take hours now takes minutes.
But then they talk to alums who say entry-level roles are basically gone. The jobs they planned their entire college trajectory around don't exist anymore.
AI made homework easier but made proving you deserve a job exponentially harder.
I made espresso using beans from the coffee farm I visited a couple of weeks back, how cool is that? This is 100% Arabica from Pigtauranan, Pangantucan, Bukidnon. Farmed by the Manobo community. I watched the coop members sort the beans. And now I’m enjoying their coffee. Aliw.😊
