Last Friday morning I was invited to guest on Atty. Mike Templo’s show on ABS-CBN ANC, Crossing Borders. We talked about the different ways a person can make money online through blogging, online freelancing, and personal branding. It was a great experience to be on his show since most of the viewers were OFWs or their family members. One of my personal missions in life is to teach these guys how to leverage the internet to make money so that they won’t have to leave the country anymore to earn a living. If you have the right skills and you have the determination, you can earn the salary of an OFW in the comforts of your own house.
Giving the short talk on Crossing Borders also encouraged me further to keep on pushing for the agenda of the Blas F. Ople Policy Center. The TULAY program (in partnership with Microsoft and OWWA), has been very successful in teaching OFWs and their families the latest technology available to improve the quality of their lives. Skype, Yahoo Messenger, and Google might be simple tools for techies but these tools can make life much easier for kids who desperately need to bond and see their parents who are working overseas.
Anyway, here are some photos:
Thanks again to Atty. Mike Templo, Ayen Caringal, and the rest of the folks at ANC for inviting me over. It was an honor and a pleasure!
