National Finance Summit 2015: Ground Zero for Global Competitiveness

Wazzup Pilipinas!

A staggering 4,500+ attendees filled up the 2nd level of SMX Convention Center MOA last January 24, 2015 for one of the biggest gatherings of college students I've been to. I was surprised so many came from many parts of the country. I am glad many of the students from as far as he provinces and other key cities from different regions were able to come to Manila.

The National Finance Summit 2015 gathered together Finance student members of the Junior Confederation of Finance Associations - Philippines (JCFAP) to listen to several distinguished speakers from top level companies share their financial strategies, tips and personal career paths to educate, motivate and inspire many of our future Finance leaders.

JCFAP is the umbrella organization of over 90 college-based finance organizations in the country and is currently compose of more than 7,000 members. It is amazing that out of the 7,000 members, more than half were able to attend such a phenomenal gathering.

Anton Mauricio and Alexander Gilles, advisers of the JCFAP, along with Kathryn Bisnar, National President of JCFAP, and the rest of the JCFAP officers, officiated the event proper with welcome remarks, and introductory speeches presenting the 7 guest speakers composed of Wilhelmina Manalac, Managing Director at Bangko Sentyral ng Pilipinas; Jeng Pascual, Country Controller and Finance Director of Shell Philippines Exploration; Edmund Lee, President of Caylum Trading Institute; Brian Hachez, President of GDS Link Asia Philippines; Salve Duplito, News Personality at ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC); Ed Valencia, CEO of Deutsche Bank; and Edric Mendoza, Lead Anchor of ANC's On The Money.

They say anyone can set up a blog or social media account and post anything they want. But if you really mean business and would like to reach the highest potential for your online presence, digital influence and market reach, doing it in a well-organized, perfectly-timed and strategic way could mean more active engagement and collaboration opportunities within your network.

Though we all know it sometimes take being at the right place, at the right time, and knowing the right people to get lucky breaks and astounding deals, those instances don't really happen everyday. Most of the time we have to exert extra effort to achieve our goals. However, all that hard work could become a lot more productive if we are able to manage our efforts using the right knowledge gained from experts with years of experience.

I believe we need the proper guidance towards the right path to excel in all our endeavors. I've known a lot of people who have been blogging for the longest time but they continue to remain anonymous for many and their market reach dwindling. They seem to be lacking the much-needed branding and identity that would set them apart from the others and vitally needed to make their presence felt and make a significant influence to the market they are trying to reach. Thus others would sometimes resort to using deplorable tactics just to get their numbers up.

Fortunately, you'll get to learn the right way of earning your blog and social media authority through the Certified Blog and Social Media Entrepreneur Program (CBSME).  DigitalFilipino.com is now accepting enrollees for the CBSME program. It's one of the best investments that you can give yourself to gain long-term benefits.
