MEETING 2A REFLECTION- what can you do to help propel the economy of Davao City (note: think like a technopreneur)

Being an entrepreneur is not easy. It consists of lots of decision makings. Entrepreneurship subject is one of the best thing that we Filipino must learn to and must share to others. By the ways what are the difference between entrepreneur and entrepreneurship?  As we discuss last meeting (June 24, 2014) it was stated there that Entrepreneur are those people who enter into new and pioneering ventures while Entrepreneurship is starting a new plan. In other words to understand the difference between the two, Entrepreneur is a person who organizes and operates a business venture and assumes much of the associated risk. While Entrepreneurship again is the art of innovation and risk taking for profit in business or the quality of being an entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur you must be a hard working person, self confidence, demonstrates initiatives, willing to listen, sets own standards, copes with uncertainty, committed, builds on strength, and other positive traits of a business man. To elaborate more the characteristic of an entrepreneur here are some of my explanations; Hardworking in creating new ideas, on organizing, and doing your job or activity well done. Self confidence in terms of dealing well with your client in proposing and implementing your ideas and innovations. Demonstrates initiatives in a new development or a fresh approach to something or a new way of dealing with a problem. Willing to listen in every idea that comes up from others especially from your client or group members because it may help you a lot in developing or enhancing your skills to create more innovations. Listening is also helpful to gathered more ideas in propelling your place and other things that you wanted to develop. Setting the entrepreneur his/her own standards may help him/her to be more determined and trust worthy by their clients and other people. Having your own standard will made your ideas and innovations more dealing with clients, by that they will make your innovations more interesting and more significance to people. Copes with uncertainty is also one of the most important traits that the entrepreneur must have because it will help him/her to become strong and consistent to his work on creating more ideas and made him to have a long patience. Entrepreneur should have that kind of characteristic to maintain his/her collaboration in the field of technology innovations. Being committed on your work as an entrepreneur means you are being obligated by a pledge to some course of action. In other hands, entrepreneur must be responsible on his/her actions on proposing or proving his/her innovations, that will make sense that he/she was releasing facts about his idea. Lastly entrepreneur must build on strength because it will make him/her strong on every obstacle that he/she will encounter. The fact about being entrepreneur is tough to handle because of many risks that you may oblige to pass in any activity that you are going to worked on.

As a student and might an entrepreneur someday I’m going to propose an innovation that will propel the economy of our vicinity, Davao City. But first of all, we all know that Davao city is known as the largest city in the Philippines and compare to others it’s less risky to visit and live here because of the strict policies and security that our beloved mayor implemented. Beyond that I would like to share what I observed lately in Davao that aside from the cleanliness and anti smoking province there are also lots of investors that would like to build their own businesses here. Many foreigners also visiting Davao and they became more friendly, and generous on what they can help to our fellow men and country because maybe they also appreciated our goodness. Davao City became also known in the country in terms of any big issues and how does the mayor ruling it properly. This is the city where you can walk freely and safe to do the things that you want, but of course that anything you want must be in a good way. The people here also are very accommodating, friendly, generous, wise, rulers; obedient, and hardworking. Dabawenyos are accommodating or hospitable for they are always do welcome the entire tourist that went or visit here in Davao. They gave them a warmth welcome and all the things that they are needed. Dabawenyos are friendly because they always appreciated and approached the newly one in a right manners and good deeds, until such time that they become friends. They are also generous when the time that you needed help especially when you are in trouble and accident. Aside from the rich, the poor one also can contribute anything as long as it can help. For me dabawenyos are wise enough for they know instantly what’s happening in their surroundings, they know what are the differences between good and bad deeds in any situation that they placed in. They are wise to manage well all the things that they think to be organized and fixed even in the outside life that they are move’n. Some are also rulers, rulers of implementing and managing for good. They became models own their own, they became once a leader without knowing that they become appreciated. Rulers in giving, sharing, and helping others. Rulers in showing that it doesn’t matter where you came from and what life you had as long as you did what’s right are counted and the equality is still present. Dabawenyos are obedient because most of the time they follow all the policies or rules that the government here in Davao implemented. They follow all the obvious right things that they must do. They are hard working also because as what I’ve observed they are willing and trying to improve their lives by working so hard, especially students. I’ am very salute to those students who worked so hard for their studies and family matters. They deserved to have a high wage if they are working while studying because for me it’s not easy, it’s not easy for they still have the feelings to be tired not just in physical but also in mental. So these are just the characteristic of the Dabawenyos that everyone must see and appreciated. I didn’t mean that all dabawenyos have those characteristics just some of them. I’m just looking for the good side of being a dabawenyos to have a good view on seeing why Davao city deserved to be improve and more attractive to the tourist.

Without the implementation of our Mayor, Davao city wouldn’t be as progress as it is now. As what I observed here, the economy is good enough compared to others. But why does our economy needs to be more progressive? Anyhow others didn’t care about it. And what does economy really means? -Economy is the system of production and distribution and consumption. The overall measure of a currency system, which our city and country needs to managed well. Economy has a big role to make our lives more comfortable, develop, and easy to worked on. Our economy needs to be progress for us people to have a better life to live like having a permanent job, easy working environment and people, like having enough food, enough things to handle with and other instances if ever we have a progressive economy. Our city (Davao city) nowadays gives us enough security and needs but as the years passed by it is a must that we need not just to maintain the economy’s status but to make it more progressive every year.

As a citizen here in Davao it is our responsibility to contribute and propel the economy, because we are still the one who get involved, benefits and suffered all the things that might happen in our city. Being the beneficiary we need to think wise and brilliant of what must the city needs and lack. We citizen here in Davao has the ability to think like an entrepreneur and apply the technopreneurship method to help our city. By that kind of mind set it’s easy and efficient for us to think an idea to innovate some things in a good way. By the way what the technopreneurship stands for? According to our facilitators video collection about techno there was those people who got interviewed and answered about what is technopreneurship. They said that technopreneurship is something that deals with technology innovation business. Some also said that where you can develop and apply technology that is available right now here in our country or local areas. It is also marketing or selling products to ticketing and it is also related to information technology where it relay the facts about doing or dealing a technology business. Furthermore, it’s more on developing technology and markets it to those companies who are willing to have it.

Compare to other countries cities they have a progressive economy and a lot of observations you may gathered from them like people lives their lives easily every day, they don’t have to worry about what will tomorrow’s bring them especially in their job aspects. Same here in Davao we need our economy progress to have a better future not just in ourselves today but for the next generation. The first thing I’ve think about to propel the economy of Davao city there must be lots of investors that will build their own business here so that many establishments will grow and develop. By that lots of opportunities will come up and provides people the jobs that they are willing and deserved to have. Then those people will live their lives comfortably and never as for anything to provides the needs of their families. Aside from the opportunities to get jobs, it is also important to have those person who as the unique thinking of giving an idea on how our economy will continuous be develop and progress. Those people are called as Entrepreneur, they have that ability to innovate not just technology but other related things that they think it’s better to have.

As an educated person someday, if I were graduated I can be an entrepreneur too. I will invest my own company to help our economy more progressive. A company that will hire and composes an individual that has distinct characteristics in innovating technologies. A technology that has different kind and functions to help the everyday works and problem of the people here in Davao city. Until such time that I will need to hire more employees to be more productive to sustain the needs of the people. By that I might contribute a big idea to help our economy. That idea would be possible if we are going to help each other to have one goal to pursue. If my company earns big because of different kinds of innovations of my employees, then it is not possible that our fellow men will patronize our product not just here in our local community but to other places, after that we are going to launch it to every countries that we’ve known that they knew about our innovations. I will deal with those business tycoons about our products, by that Davao City will become known to the whole world as productive and brilliant innovators. Innovators that are highly technologist on releasing new idea. Then part of the big earnings of my company I will give it to Davao City funds to create and build more projects and activities that may help the people to be more productive and creative. Then apart from it I will also focus on inviting all those fresh graduates to attend seminars and training to be part of my company. Included those less literate in technology, then If they will become more hands on to love what will technology will bring them then I will gave them the opportunity to work on  my well known company. Of course these are just the possible thing will happened for me in the future if I’ am going and willing to contribute to propel the economy of Davao city.

To be in real, as an ordinary student who taking up Bachelor of Science in Information Technology at the University of Southeastern Philippines I can see that I’ am capable of helping more Davao city in its gradual economy progress state. I can deal with those companies who needed an IT expert to do the things that they want to develop by that I can be one of their assets in helping them to reach out their goals or aims. As an employee I will be a good model or example to show to others my determination and loved of what job I have right now. By then I might be able to help them inspired to do the same way too, so that they can stand alone and prove to everyone that they can have that ability to improve. Of course I would like also doing it in the outside, aside in the work place because I wanted to guide everyone to become an entrepreneur without orienting them. I can also invest my own business on training those less fortunate one who are field to graduate on how they are going to start their wanted business, by that they will become more knowledgeable and wise to start up. I will organize a business group to help me teach those people to know their power to handle any kind of business. By their help, those people who are willing to give their best and eager to learn well will given a big opportunity to start a new beginning of their own businesses. More on that they will also give a chance to deal with those business tycoons in Davao City to prove that they can make a difference. For me it’s valuable that those less fortunate one also deserved to learn because we might not know about the future that one of them will help the economy of Davao City, and maybe not just Davao city but to our whole country. I believed also that learning technology especially computers with those poor people will help our economy progress because I know some of them built already the confidence to worked hard , how much more they are going to received such knowledge from us? Isn’t it making sense that some of the poor are brilliant and genius? Yes, we never know that lots of them never reveal their true knowledge and wisdom to contribute what they can help about our economy. I believed that poor people are the most observative one on what was happening in their surroundings and doing nothing will made them realized and imagined more on the things that they wanted to become someday. Teaching and learning them a technology and anything free may help minimized the high rate of poverty here in Davao because for me lots of them are willing to have a job and we all know they are wanted to strive hard for their families. Of course I know that some of them are lazy that’s why they don’t get a job and that’s made me realized to motivate them hardly to do their responsibility not just a part of a family but a big part of a progressive economy in our city in the near future.
