Today is father’s day and I always recalled my father and how he contributed big to what I am today. His sacrifices are soo many that I know I owe him a lot. Although, I wish that we could have been emotionally closer like what I am to my kids (kissing the kids and motivating them to aspire, mind you they are boys). I know that we have a different situation on being a father so I cannot compare how our style.
But my father performed his role to me and I can never ask for more. He drilled in me the importance of education. Most especially, when he is drank, he always murmur the importance of education saying, “ tanging pag-aaral mo lang ang maipapamana namin sa iyo”. It stucked on me and in my heart I know I have to perform well in school.
One of the painful but sweetest experiences that I had with my father is waiting for his jeep so I could ride going to school and asked for my baon. It was a very sweltering afternoon, I patiently waited for him. After almost waiting for an hour, he came by and I wave. I embark on his jeep and sat beside him.
My heart was crumpled and taken aback; my father’s t-shirt is drenched in sweat because of the heat. He looked dead tired because of the humidity that even when he smiled upon seeing me it is a smile of someone who has no choice but to have his kind of work just for me and my siblings to go to school.
I can only pressed his hand and give his soaked towel to lessen the perspiration imprisoning his whole body. I kissed him in his head (one of the few times that I did it to him) and disembark confused on what I just witnessed and felt.
That particular day made my resolve to finish my schooling etched in stone.
Past forward today, I still vividly recall that scene. I know my father is proud of me and I am proud of my father. I have gone through a lot of challenges and I used him as my strength. Almost always I have come-out of the challenges as a victor.
Today is Father’s Day it is time to call him again, greet him and says, “ Salamat Papa”.

I had a privilege to listen to the father and son tandem of Mr. Menardo Jimenez and Butch Jimenez. Both are achievers and Filipino leaders in their own right. The opportunity to listen to them is like finding money while you are meandering to a street – it’s a treasure that I will cherish.
Now, I would like to share Butch Jimenez 3P’s in being a leader to a group that moves and grow-up.
Now, I would like to share Butch Jimenez 3P’s in being a leader to a group that moves and grow-up.
1. PRESSURE
He mentioned that balloons need helium but state that low helium will not make balloons fly. While too much helium will make balloons explode. Therefore, the challenge is finding the balance, the right mix of helium to make the balloons fly.
This is how he compares pressure that we as leader apply to people to make them move. He said that there are two pressures, the negative and positive. The key is to apply positive pressure to make our people move in the direction that we like.
2. PASSION
Passion, his second P, is what makes people grow-up and fly high. He said that he would rather work with people that have passion than work with skilled people that have no passion.
Passion can be develop within the team if the leader shows by example how passionate he/she is to the work.
He said that passion determines the winner between two teams that have the same skill sets.
3. PURPOSE
The most important P among the Ps of Butch Jimenez is purpose. There must be a deeper reason why a person is doing something and achieving it. In the research he mentioned it is not money but the feeling of being significant. SIGNIFICANCE therefore is very important and it is derived by the purpose that a leader spells out to his team.
He examples his drive to make DSL a staple in the whole country, at first; he cannot derive any meaning to what he is dong other than selling DSL to the country. But alas, after reading a book about the great Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore, his purpose in selling DSL got deeper. He learned from Lee Kuan Yew that DSL or Internet for that matter is important in bringing education and growth to the country.
In fact, as he hammered out, for Singapore it is very critical that each and every family owns an internet connection for Singapore to be able to compete with the world.
This is what drove Butch Jimenez to promote and push DSL in the country. A deeper purpose for what he is doing.
This is what leaders must spell-out clearly their respective teams, the purpose deeper than what the eyes can see.
The purpose must be linked and beneficial to the society and the country.
I love being part of the audience last night. I enjoyed the father and son tandem talking and sharing their success secrets.Of course, I enjoyed the food and the music. The organizers are very good in creating a seamless event.
I believe that these 3Ps would be beneficial to all MICE operators in facing the challenges of the world.
In the face of stiff competition, we MICE players must have put positive pressure to our people, be passionate on what we do and have a purpose that touch the growth of our society and country.
If this 3 ingredients interplay well in our practice, I see that a great Philippines is just around the corner.

Take look into the future, a look into the past
Can you realize that we are goin' fast
I feel yesterday was just a second away
But as the seconds flow memories disarray
Our way leads to nowhere, time is a mystery
Our plan is to find it, we're goin' hyperspeed
Our life leads to somewhere, it seems a memory
As we speed to find it we loose the entity
- By Lyrics from Hyperspeed Hallucination by Prodigy
Today says a lot of something to what is in store for us in the future. Today always seems already gone the moment you open your eyes in the morning. It seems Today is on a rush to leave the parking lot immediately even before the sun sets in.
This moment is so commonplace in all aspects of our life right now. So having stated the obvious what now?
My answer is that we need to ADJUST ourselves to this reality - CONSCIOUS ADJUSTMENT. Sounds easy, but actually it is like stopping a rushing wave without anything to hold on to. Running head-on smack to the hyper speeding waves of reality will destroy us. It will drown us and make us numb – makes us unable to differentiate what is real and not real.
Good thing that there is an event that will delve on Hyper Speed and how we can harness and tame this bull from the horn.
In particular, I am talking about taming and generating power in Hyper Speed in the field of Marketing.
Yes! June is National Marketing Conference (NMC) month of the Philippine Marketing Association (PMA) and they have prepared a diverse topics and speakers that will examine the fuzzy Global Market and White Spaces left in the market place where we can triumph and harness the power of hyper speed.
This is a challenging task but with the deep experience of PMA in conducting breakthrough conference for the marketing industry the attendees will surely go home satisfied and illuminated at the end of the two-day conference.
Samples of the topics are: Trapping the Elusive Generation Y Market to Expand and Grow, Laying Bare the Customer Mindset – Loyalty or Fidelity?, Reinventing Physical Space as a Hyper growth Strategy and the Future of Marketing Communication.
By the way, the event is slated next week June 24-25 at Sofitel Philippine Plaza. The fees are very affordable for PMA Members it is P10,000.00 and for Non PMA members it is P12,000.00, for onsite registrants it is P15,000.00.
Also, EXLINK Management and Marketing Conference can accept your registration. Just call tel # 643-3887 or 640-1280.
I like to sum the experience that is about to take place in this NMC, it is like reading Alvin Toffler’s Powershift for the first time and basking on different game-changing concepts that is unto your lap for the taking.
Yes, there is this seriousness of topics but don’t be fooled and don’t be afraid, PMA is known for tackling these topics to a very simple yet enjoyable journey.

This morning while I am having my coffee and watching T.V., the news about the SLEX 250% increased toll fee rate got my attention.
Apparently, the increased in the toll way rates generated a negative reaction from the main users of the highway – the bus operators plying it.
This made me look at the details of SLEX development and study the benefits of the improved highway. SLEX is the longest expressway in the country at a distance measuring a total of 97 kilometers. SLEX snakes thru the following cities: Manila, Laguna, Cavite, Batangas and the near future Quezon.
All the improvements to rehabilitate SLEX cost P12 Billion pesos. The benefits of a shorten travel time, safe travel, and saved gasoline because of the improved roads are a very good news from the motorists.
I should know how it feels to travel in a very comfortable condition, I use SLEX whenever I go to the south – I believe everybody does.
I remember during my younger days travelling in SLEX, it was very dangerous – few lights, bumpy roads, congested lanes (you guess it a lot of accidents take place during night and even during daylight).
I believe that the toll operators should increase and get earnings from the venture of improving SLEX – they deserve it. Although 250% increase is very high. I propose a gradual increase so as not to shock, most especially the bus operators that use SLEX.
SLEX and other road developments are infrastructure that we need badly in order to improve our tourism and trade industry. A highway that guarantees speed and safety is what we need in order to spur economic activities.
The increase of toll rates only shows that there is a price to pay if we wanted to have progress. There can never be free lunch. There is no free lunch. If we want development, we must embrace the risk and responsibilities that goes with it.
SLEX being the longest highway in our country needs to be first class. I am willing to pay additional just to have a taste of it and free my mind from the worries that a decrepit highway offers.
