Millennial­s on the rise

FIRST PACIFIC LEADERSHIP ACADEMY SHEDS LIGHT ON THE NEW GENERATION WITH ITS UPCOMING E-TALKS:

-

A GENERATION born during the technologi­cal boom, millennial­s have earned, quite unfairly, the title of being an “entitled” bunch. Described by Time

Magazine in 2013 as the “Me, Me, Me” generation, these young adults are now stepping up and proving everyone wrong with their creativity, innovative ideas and unique world views.

First Pacific Leadership Academy (FPLA), the first corporate university establishe­d by Manuel Pangilinan, sheds light on the misunderst­ood generation in its newest Executive Talk (E-Talk) to be held today, 1 p.m. at Griffins Hall, FPLA Academy, Antipolo City.

Titled “Millennial­s on the Rise,” the E-Talk focuses on how millennial­s have successful­ly overcome their challenges and carved a place for themselves in the world. For this exciting event, FPLA invites concert director Paolo Valenciano, political consultant and Habitat for Humanity Youth ambassador Brian Poe Llamanzare­s, and Voyager Business managing director Dindo Marzan to lead the discussion.

As the son of famous Filipino superstar, Gary Valenciano, Paolo is a performing artist and creative director in his own right. He has directed the many concerts of his father, one of which won Concert of the Year at the 2015 PMPC Star Awards for Music. As an artist, he has released his own album entitled Silence/

Noise under Star Records, which was thrice nominated during the 2015 PMPC Star Awards for Music.

Featured as one of the 30 Game Changers in the February 2017 issue of Lifestyle Asia, Brian Poe has wide experience in politics, business and entertainm­ent. He was a former correspond­ent for CNN Philippine­s, former supervisin­g legislativ­e staff officer of his mother, Sen. Grace Poe, and a campaign coordinato­r during the last presidenti­al elections.

Joining the roster of speakers is Dindo of Voyager Business, the customer facing unit of Voyager Innovation­s which provides consultanc­y services on digital transforma­tion. A graduate of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia, Dindo worked for Globe Telecom and ABS-CBN Corp. He has over a decade of experience in IT, marketing and communicat­ions, with expertise on digital media. His resume displays his knowledge of digital maturity in the Philippine­s and the role played by digital millennial­s.
