Our guests
Our panelists at the Good Ideas Forum on September 26 are Teddy Boy Locsin and Vince Perez.
Teddy Boy Locsin is the congressman from Makati. He hosts an AM radio talk show and should really get back on television. Ted was the publisher and editor-in-chief of TODAY, and before that, the Daily Globe and the Free Press. He was Press Secretary in the Cory Aquino administration, and speechwriter to President Aquino. Ted had a cat named Tommasso who was so fat and lazy he would not budge from his seat during earthquakes. Apart from his erudite and nasty essays on politics, Ted has written extensively on hair loss and bad smells.
Vince Perez is a conservationist and advocate of renewable energy. He runs Alternergy Partners, a renewable power company, and heads the energy advisory firm Merritt Partners. Vince is also the chair of WWF-Philippines. He was a general partner at Lazard Freres and is a former Secretary of Energy. Vince was part of the Subic Centennial crew which won the 2008 Rolex South China Sea Race. He describes his role on the boat as “ballast”. Though he once appeared in a series of energy conservation sketches, he is not to be confused with the actor Vahnsahnt Perez.
Both panelists have held important positions in the private and public sectors, giving them unique insights into the process of turning a concept into reality. They will listen to your ideas at the forum and make suggestions about the next steps. Coffee and doughnuts will be served. Photography is allowed. Blogging is encouraged.

thank you for the invitation. my idea on Variable Pay System may be far-fetched, but I’d love to see how people would respond to it, since it involves salary, and the financial workaround on that.

Read about this way too late to catch an invite when you were handing them out… well, if you need someone to video* the talk, just holler.
*not a pro videographer, but with excellent skills clicking the record button… how hard is it to point and shoot a small gathering and youtube it, eh?
