Whenever I come across anything about CSR in any of its forms on the Internet (which remains to be my primary source of news), I usually get mixed feelings. On the one hand, I get angels singing in my head that something nice has been done. On the other hand, I also think that some of the … Continue reading →

Guess who’s back! After forcing myself to take a month-long sick “leave” (as I really got sick for three weeks), and working on other matters, the weekly editorials are here again to serve as this amateur serial reformist’s insights into how we can use a CSR 3.0-based education to achieve social change. 🙂 I read BBC News … Continue reading →

Lately, I’ve been thinking about what I’ve read in the book I’m currently reading, Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey and Raj Sisodia. It preaches that in true conscious capitalism – or, in our case, true social enterprise – the poorer can get richer without the rich needing to get poorer. It is truly a matter of … Continue reading →

In BCYF’s model, CSR 3.0 – personal CSR – is seen as a prerequisite to starting, sustaining, developing, and scaling a true social enterprise (which in itself is CSR 2.0), for the individual cannot profess to be an agent of social change through their organization if they themself do not possess the passion for the common good. … Continue reading →

For the past two weeks, I wrote for the need of a revolutionized educational system in general where social responsibility is like the backbone or lifeblood of the curriculum. Tonight, I’m taking a look at the presence of social responsibility in part of the curriculum I took up. Specifically, I’m reflecting on the Ateneo de … Continue reading →

Going abroad can give you a whole new perspective, if you choose to let it so. Sometimes, these musings translate into disgust at your current perspective, resulting in things like continuous raging at how incompetent or ineffective something is (I admit I do so a lot) – I’m sure you’ll be able to relate. But … Continue reading →

Last week, after securing my Human ♥ Nature customers’ orders in their flagship store along Commonwealth Avenue, I decided to spend a little time in the upstairs Enchanted Farm Café before I delivered the orders. If it were just another restaurant, I wouldn’t dawdle anymore, so that I could get home and back to work, … Continue reading →

I mentioned previously that my first BCYF event was the 3rd Philippine Conference on Research in CSR, where I came as Ms. Noreen Bautista’s volunteer. However, due to a series of events, the spotlight was suddenly cast on me as, at the last minute, I was convinced to become a panelist for the penultimate lecture of … Continue reading →

To BCYF, living out their CSR 3.0 is all part of their ultimate goal: to keep true to their faith in God. As my recent posts in this Serial and even the Learnings from His Holiness section imply or state, true love for God cannot be limited to literally just between Him and me, as a love for … Continue reading →
