The organizers carefully selected the most influential in the Philippines right now. They are from different industries but share the same characteristics: determined, a leader, and making an impact in society today.
Influential people are effective at what they do, have a significant impact on a large number of people, and have a big influence on the way things turn out. We also invited people from various industries that are now influencing the country.
