| Liberalis with Mr. Emmanuel Herbosa, descendant from Lucia-Rizal-Herbosa |
Last October 28, the Order of the Knights of Rizal and the Kabataang Pangangap ni Rizal have convened at the Pinnacle Hotel & Suites in Davao City to celebrate the Joint 9th Visayas anf 10th Mindanao Rizal Youth Leadership Institute.
The highlight of the activity is the determination of each participant's Dapitan. What is my Dapitan? This question was answered by Mr. Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV when he shared how their Microventures business dealt with small entrepreneurs of the country. He also added how Rags to Riches of Payatas has developed from mere "garbage collector" to a fashionable makers of trendy bags and accessories.
As for Liberalis, "What is my Dapitan?" For me, I can say that my Dapitan is my own initiative to bring our the advocates in each part of the island in fighting the diseases of poverty through governance and volunteerism. Simple act maybe, but the extent of the act may seem to be difficult to achieve. This is therefore a Dapitan, a not-so-easy advocacy to bring development among people.
