The design of the delegates’ booklet showcases the cityscape of Makati. The designer, Gabrielle Michaela L. Tanjutco, incorporated the colors yellow, blue and red as inspired by the shades of the Philippine flag. Yellow represents people’s unity and freedom, blue stands for peace, truth and justice while the red found on the ribbon represents Filipino patriotism and valor. Her chosen subject, a city, indicates the progress, dynamism, and growth of the country.

The city was founded on an unused swampland south of the capital, Manila. Makati has now become the dynamic financial trading center of the Philippines, a multi-cultural hub. The city is aptly chosen to host this year’s APEC Summit because it is now at the forefront of the Philippine development story.

The green landscape at the bottom of the cover booklet not only incorporates the theme “Building a Sustainable Future: Inclusive Growth, Resilience and Empowerment” but also presents the predominantly agricultural setting that comprises the Philippine economy. Many small-medium enterprises are involved in this industry, which makes the Philippines economy vibrant and stable. Having a competitive advantage in trading products including mangoes, banana, coconuts, pineapple and even tuna makes the country a prime choice for investment.

By aligning sustainability and inclusive growth, the country hopes to become one of fastest growing economies in the world.

1 The APEC Voices Program

The APEC Voices of the Future is an annual program that allows special teams of young people and educators from the 21 APEC Economies to attend the APEC Summit.

By working and learning together, the APEC Voices’ teams are able to share their views on the APEC vision with APEC Leaders, Senior Officials, ABAC Members and CEOs.

Through their participation in the APEC process, APEC Voices delegates are given the rare opportunity to engage in dialogues with top policymakers, foster cooperation and prosperity in the classrooms and communities of the Asia-Pacific Region.

This year’s APEC Voices of the Future Program will be held in Manila, Philippines, in conjunction with the APEC CEO Summit 2015.

My warmest greetings to all the delegates to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Voices of the Future Program.

The APEC is where policy and decision makers come together to share their ideas and listen to each other’s suggestions in an effort to come up with agreements to make a more inclusive and progressive Asia-Pacific region. While much weight is given to the thoughts of experts, officials, and leaders who are invited to take part in this event, it is my firm belief that there is no voice more significant, more consequential, or more deserving of an audience than those whose future we are striving to make better: the youth.

You are the heirs to both the legacy and consequences of our present actions; your opinion matters as much as ours. After all, it is your future that is at stake in these proceedings, so I expect that we will learn as much from you as you will from us. It is my hope that our conversations will not only be rich and informative, but also sincere, genuine, and honest. I encourage you to tell us all of your concerns, your dreams, and the kind of global community you envision yourselves living in so that, together, we can shape a world that we can proudly bequeath to coming generations.

I wish you will have a fun, enlightening, and meaningful event.

BENIGNO S. AQUINO III President of the Republic of the Philippines

I extend my warmest greetings and congratulations to the participants to the APEC Voices of the Future Program.

I commend the officers and members of this program for your dedication in providing a meaningful learning experience for our youth and harnessing their idealism in realizing the goals and aspirations of our nation.

It is hoped that the participants will have the opportunity to discuss the role of APEC in resolving key issues concerning the region so that its member countries may enjoy better mutual understanding and relations, economic integration, growth and prosperity.

Our country is moving towards economic integration in the ASEAN community. While this means more opportunities for local business and industries, there is also a need to come up with better products and services that can compete in the foreign markets. It is therefore imperative to set our sights on a more integrative competition framework to attract investments, spur economic efficiency, and ultimately bring about a dynamic and sustainable economic growth and national progress.

To the organizers of this event, I trust that you will continue to exude leadership and remain steadfast partners of government in developing our youth and encouraging them to commit to nation building.

Mabuhay po kayong lahat!

It is my pleasure to welcome the youth delegates from the APEC Voices of the Future to the Philippines.

This year, we are pleased to host the 2015 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Week and the APEC CEO Summit in Manila, Philippines.

As the Host Economy, the Philippines chose the theme, “Building Inclusive Economies, Building a Better World”, reflecting the necessity to strengthen economic relationships among APEC Member Economies to promote sustainable and inclusive growth. The collaboration among APEC economies plays an integral role in improving the lives of many people in the Asia-Pacific region by creating jobs and providing people with better living environments.

APEC 2015 also serves as a platform to identify and address issues that encourage the growth of business-friendly environments within the Asia-Pacific. These issues include investment in human capital and infrastructure, helping SMEs break into regional and global markets, ensuring that the business environment remains sustainable and resilient to changes, and ensuring the region’s economy is able to integrate with the global market.

The youth cannot afford to sit back during these crucial times, for they will inherit the shared future we are building today. It is crucial for the youth to be involved and to engage meaningfully as policymakers across the region develop action plans and initiatives towards peace and prosperity.

The youth of today’s Asia-Pacific will soon be the leaders of APEC. I believe it only natural for our world’s greatest stakeholders to have their voice heard loud and clear. Thus, I strongly encourage the youth leaders in APEC Voices 2015 to seize the opportunity to ask questions, seek answers, and offer possible solutions to the policymakers here. Together, the discussion we create allows us to learn from each other and to work together as a global community. You do not have to wait for your turn to lead—we need your voice, and we need it now.

May I take this opportunity to wish you a fruitful event. I hope you make many new friends along the way, for after all, the world is held together by the force of genuine human connections. All the best in your future endeavors.

CESAR V. PURISIMA Secretary of Finance Republic of the Philippines 5 Message

On behalf of the Office of International Economic Relations, Department of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the delegates of the APEC Voices of the Future 2015 to the Philippines. The APEC Week will provide you an excellent platform to witness the inner- workings of APEC, along with the opportunity to see how APEC Leaders benefit the Asia-Pacific region through formulating policies that promote economic cooperation and free-trade between Member Economies.

In today’s fast-changing environment, emerging economies in the Asia-Pacific region have to constantly adapt to cope with these changes and become resilient engines of global growth. One example of such a change is the role of women. Studies have indicated that faster economic growth can occur if there are more women contributing to the labor pool. Thus, there is a necessity to encourage inclusiveness in our workplaces, as this will empower our women to play a role and contribute to the growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

The theme for this year’s APEC is Building Inclusive Economies, Building a Better World. As the future generation of leaders, you have the responsibility to make yourselves heard and contribute to a bigger cause. The APEC Voices of the Future offers a unique platform for you to engage key policymakers and business leaders, and I hope that you will seize the opportunity to interact, discuss, and learn from the APEC Summit held in Manila. I hope that your participation will not only open doors for yourself, but for your fellow peers back in your own country.

For many of you, this may be the first time that you are visiting Philippines. I hope that you will be able to find time to interact with the wonderful and hospitable people of the Philippines.

I look forward to meeting you during the APEC Week, and to hear about your dreams and aspirations.

LAURA Q. DEL ROSARIO APEC 2015 SOM Chair and Undersecretary for International Economic Relations Department of Foreign Affairs Republic of the Philippines

The conversations around the APEC agenda this year have taken on new significance. Regional economic integration through free and open trade and investment, we realize, is a tapestry of interdependent sectors in our community. As economies benefit from the APEC initiatives that seek to facilitate the conduct of international business, we now take steps to make sure that economic development is felt at all levels of society.

APEC has been working toward making economic development sustainable and inclusive. This includes supporting the next generation of leaders through initiatives that help enhance quality of, and access to, education.

These initiatives help foster strong and vibrant learning systems, as well as strengthen the role of education in promoting social, individual, economic and sustainable development.

We are also taking steps to understand how the conduct of free and open trade impact the environment. This is relevant not only to our communities today, but also to you, the youth.

We want to make sure that our efforts to develop economically will leave you with resources you need to look after your generation’s economic needs.

What better way to usher in the APEC Voices of the Future year than to remind ourselves of our accountability to the next generation, and by celebrating your contribution to, and potential in, making our societies develop into a better world. The policies we set today are stronger and more meaningful because they are informed by the perspectives of different sectors comprising our society, and that includes the youth. The APEC Secretariat welcomes you to Manila and wishes you have a successful dialogue with captains of business and economic leaders.

DR ALAN BOLARD Executive Director APEC Secretariat

7 Message

On behalf of the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), it is my pleasure to welcome the delegates of the APEC Voices of the Future to Manila, Philippines.

The Voices of the Future Program is an important platform that provides the opportunity for young leaders from the 21 APEC Member Economies to engage APEC Leaders and Business Leaders on cross-cutting issues concerning the next generation. I am certain that these interactions will help our young leaders to understand what APEC stands for. Additionally, the interactions will also inject fresh ideas and perspectives for the Asia-Pacific region.

I urge everyone to make the most of your time to network, to challenge and to learn, not only from the APEC and Business Leaders, but from each other as well. Take the opportunity to explore new ideas, forge strong partnerships and collaborate to strengthen and promote economic growth in our region. Along the way, I hope that you will also forge strong bonds among your fellow delegates; everyone has a different background, but you all share the same goal and future in APEC.

As the next generation from the Asia-Pacific region, you have the power to make the region a vibrant place, not just for promoting trade and business. You have the responsibility to learn and contribute to build a cohesive community. There are many factors that will affect you and your future, but if we work in partnership with each other, we can help make the world, particularly the Asia-Pacific region, a place we can call home.

I hope that you will come to Manila with an open mind, ready to learn as much as you can, and to be inspired by the people you will meet. Be willing to share your experiences, time, and talents with one another. Together, we will be able to make a difference in our region, and eventually, the world.

Again, I warmly welcome all of you to the Philippines. I hope you will enjoy your stay here with us, and that you’ll take back many fond memories from your visit back to your home country.

8 Background on APEC Voices Leadership Council

The annual APEC Voices of the Future Program is primarily governed by the APEC Voices Leadership Council, which consists of the four permanent Co-Chairs from the APEC Economies of People’s Republic of China, Mexico, New Zealand and Singapore, who are joined by the ex officio Co-Chairs from the Host Economy and the Virtual Trade Mission (VTM) Foundation International. The Co-Chairs are ABAC Members, senior business leaders and educators, while the APEC Voices Secretariat is in Singapore in association with the National Youth Achievement Award Council of Singapore.

It is the hope of the APEC Voices Leadership Council that the annual APEC Voices of the Future Program continues as an independent and self-sustaining youth leadership and educational diplomacy program within the APEC process. Up till today, the APEC Voices of the Future Program is funded solely by the respective Voices Programs and participating delegations from each APEC economy. Every member of the APEC Voices Leadership Council serves as a volunteer with no remuneration.

Cooperation and Coordination with APEC and ABAC

The annual APEC Voices program is organized and operated in cooperation and coordination with the APEC Secretariat, the ABAC Chair and ABAC Host Committee, the Official APEC Host Committee, and the APEC CEO Summit. Following the principles of consensus and flexibility which guide APEC, the APEC Voices Leadership Team works with all these offices and officials to plan the annual APEC Voices Program in the way that works best for the APEC Host Economy and the supporting organisations, events and venues, so as to provide the APEC-engaged learning experiences for our students and educators.

12 History of the APEC Voices of the Future Program

The APEC Voices was launched in Kuala Lumpur in 1998 at the APEC Malaysia Summit.

Since then, the APEC Voices program has grown from strength to strength. The program is enriched by the APEC Host Committees, ABAC Chairs and ABAC Members, and the APEC CEO Summits in New Zealand (1999), Brunei (2000), Mexico (2002), Chile (2004), Korea (2005), Vietnam (2006), Australia (2007), Peru (2008), Singapore (2009), Japan (2010), Honolulu, USA (2011), Vladivostok, Russia (2012) Bali, Indonesia (2013) and People’s Republic of China (2014).

The APEC Voices Leadership Council and its permanent Co-Chairs were first organized in the APEC New Zealand of 1999, and grew with the addition of the official Voices programs in the APEC Economies of China, Mexico and Singapore.

In 2005, New Zealand Voices inaugurated the first mid-year preparatory Voices program for all interested New Zealand students and educators, inviting visiting Voices delegations as well. Mexico Voices also expanded its annual preparatory calendar and joined in the Kiwi mid-year schedule.

In 2007, China Voices inaugurated the most extensive preparatory program to date, which has been implemented in more than 100 campuses throughout the vast APEC Economy.

Later in 2008, during the APEC Voices program in Peru, the planning for the APEC Voices program and Secretariat in Singapore began, in coordination and in cooperation with Singapore Voices and Singapore’s APEC Host Year.

In 2009, over 120 delegates attended the annual APEC Voices program in Singapore from 9 to 15 November 2009. Main topics of discussion were the current issues affecting the APEC Economies such as economic recovery, support for multilateral trading systems, and regional economic integration.

In 2010, over 100 delegates from 17 APEC Economies participated in the APEC Voices program in Yokohama, Japan, from 8 to 14 November 2010. APEC Voices delegates were given the opportunity to meet and interact with APEC Leaders, Ministers and business leaders during the APEC week.

13 In 2011, more than 120 APEC Voices delegates attended the APEC Voices Program in Honolulu, USA, from 7 to 13 November 2012. One of the highlights of the event was a dialogue with H.E. Francisco J Sanchez, Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade, U.S. Department of Commerce. Delegates also discussed security issues in the Pacific Rim with Admiral Patrick Walsh, Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Such platforms provided the youth delegates with an overview of the various issues faced by the region and how youth leaders can play a role in finding solutions for these issues.

In 2012, the APEC Voices Leadership Council sent a small group of 25 APEC Voices Representatives from 16 APEC Member Economies to Vladivostok, Russia, from 2 to 9 September 2012. The APEC Voices delegates were invited by the Russian Host Committee to engage APEC Leaders, Ministers and business leaders during the APEC CEO Summit. It was an enriching experience for many youth leaders who were in Russia for the first time.

In 2013, APEC Voices delegates were in Bali, Indonesia, for the APEC Voices Program from 2 to 8 October 2013. Voices delegates were privileged to have a dialogue with H. E. Gita Wirjawan, Trade Minister of the Republic of Indonesia on the challenges faced by Indonesian youth and Indonesia’s role at regional and global trade scene. Additionally, APEC Voices delegates were also honored to meet H.E. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, President of the Republic of Indonesia, at the Bali Convention Centre during the APEC CEO Summit 2013.

In 2014, the APEC Voices was held in Beijing, People’s Republic of China, from 5 to 11 November 2014. More than 116 APEC Voices delegates from the 16 economies attended the program. It allowed delegates to experience a rich cultural immersion through visiting historical sites including the Great Wall of China and Forbidden City. More importantly, it also allowed interactions with local youth and participation in the APEC CEO Summit.

This year, the APEC Voices will be held in Manila, Philippines, from 12 to 19 November 2015. It will be the first time for the country to host the APEC Voices program. More than 100 youth participants and educators are expected to attend this year’s program, where they will be able to listen and engage in discussions with business leaders and government officials. Delegates will also get the chance to visit the community and interact with social entrepreneurs and local development leaders.

14 Logo Interpretation

Isabel Hernandez, from the Philippines, designed this year’s APEC Voices of the Future logo.

The logo’s circular design was created to represent two key ideas. First, the continuous process of sustainability and its important relation to our global future and second, inclusive growth that promotes equitable opportunities for all sectors of society.

The three colors that make up the circle also represent the Philippine flag, the host and chair of this year’s APEC Summit.

Lastly, the “banig” pattern in the logo refers to the traditional handwoven mat of the Philippines. It is made up of palm or Pandan leaves and is used for sleeping and sitting. To create a “banig” is a very tedious process and the artist of the logo chose to use this pattern to call on the idea of patience and hardwork - qualities that we need to achieve sustainability and inclusive growth.

15 Organizations behind the APEC Voices 2015

National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) Council, Singapore

The National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) Council seeks to develop and maximize the potential of young people through selfless community service, challenges of adventure, skills development and physical recreation so that they may be exceptional individuals who can contribute effectively to society and the nation.

Currently, more than 280,000 young people in Singapore are participating in the NYAA’s youth development program

The NYAA Council Singapore plays a significant role in hosting the APEC Voices Secretariat and helping to organize the APEC Voices Program in different APEC Member Economies.

Virtual Trade Mission Foundation (VTM) International

Based in Washington DC, the Virtual Trade Mission Foundation International has played a prominent role in the annual APEC Voices conference since 1996.

VTM’s focus is to foster education and communication among students, educators, business leaders and the media on the United States’ involvement in the “New Global Economy”.

Through VTM, the “APEC Voices of the Future” program was implemented. VTM invites students from APEC Member Economies to participate in the annual APEC CEO Summit and APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) meetings. Students conduct interviews, visit trading facilities, and interact with one another, in realisation of VTM’s purpose, which is to expose students to a variety of cultures as well as to create knowledgeable “citizen diplomats” from the APEC Economies.

Asian Development Bank

Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to the majority of the world’s poor. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration.

ADB is based in Manila, Philippines, with resident missions in 29 countries and 3 representative offices in Tokyo, Frankfurt, and Washington, DC. ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.

With $22.93 billion in approved financing in 2014 and 2,997 employees from 60 of its 67 members, ADB in partnership with member governments, independent specialists and other financial institutions is focused on delivering projects that create economic and development impact.

About ADB Youth Initiative

Managed by ADB’s NGO and Civil Society Center (NGOC), ADB Youth Initiative supports youth participation in ADB operations to empower youth to benefit from and contribute to the continuing and sustainable development of Asia and the Pacific.

Given that CSO engagement addresses a wide range of development issues that affect youth, NGOC launched the ADB Youth Initiative to address the specific needs and concerns of youth as important development partners. ADB believes that the youthful demographic of Asia provides a tremendous opportunity for the region, an opportunity if taken that will shape global development over the next few decades.

39 Programs with the Asian Development Bank

Session 1: Empowering the “SDGeneration” 9:00 – 13:00, 13 November 2015

SDGs, or global goals, are a new, universal set of targets and indicators laid out by and for United Nations member states to frame their political policies and agenda over the next 15 years. The SDGs will be a carry-over and expansion of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which are due to expire by the end of this year, 15 years after the member states agreed in 2000. The SDGs are focused on 17 primary issues related to inclusive and sustainable development globally: poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, renewable energy, good jobs and economic growth, innovation and infrastructure, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption, climate action, life below water, life on land, peace and justice and partnerships for the goals. Asia and the Pacific and the SDGs

Asia and the Pacific led the world in achieving the MDGs, pushing the proportion of people living on less than $1.25 per day to fall from 53% (1990) to 12% by 2015. However, though some goals may have been met, millions of people are still in dire conditions in issues such as health, nutrition, and sanitation. The region also faces challenges of inclusiveness as uneven development persists both across countries and within them in terms of achievement against the MDGs. In general, East Asia has fared much better than South Asia while within countries, marginalization and discrimination on the basis of gender, class, ethnicity and location tend to persist.

The 17 goals and 169 targets of the SDGs are much more complex than the 8 goals and 21 targets of the MDGs. This brings upon challenges to Asia and the Pacific on efficiently implementing interventions with the appropriate approaches, technologies, resources and financing, and reliable information upon which upon which stakeholders will make informed decisions. Most importantly, efforts to achieve the SDGs will require the involvement of all stakeholders to do their part. The Future We Want outcome document of Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development emphasizes this when it referred to young people as “custodians of the future” – highlighting youth as important stakeholders with critical roles to play in helping achieve the goal of a sustainable future for themselves and future generations. .

40 Role of Youth in Asia in Achieving SDGs

Over the past decade, there has been a growing recognition of the youth’s participation in economic, social and political processes. Governments, international agencies, civil society and private sector organizations across the Asia-Pacific region have realized that young people are powerful agents of change who, if supported and empowered, can drive the achievement of the SDGs. Through the SDGs, we must ensure that Asia’s young people benefit from and contribute to these rapid developments to ensure inclusive growth in the region and help achieve the 17 SDGs. Objectives

• Introduce the SDGs to the participants and upcoming ADB activities they can be involved in to support the achievement of the SDGs • Identify ways youth leaders can support the achievement of SDGs in Asia and the Pacific Session 2: “Changing Asia” Series 2:30pm – 3:15pm, 14 November 2015

Background

The region is home to 60% of the world’s youth population— that’s 750 million young persons aged 15 to 24 years. If youth are not empowered and mobilized effectively, the region would lose out on a major opportunity as new solutions to our region’s problems increasingly come from young people who are unafraid of new technology and unconventional approaches to problem-solving. ADB recognizes that if nurtured and empowered, youth’s energies, creativity and innovativeness can drive the continued growth of Asia and the Pacific.

As a response, ADB Youth Initiative created Youth4ASIA, a solution search launched in 2014 which aims to identify, showcase, and upscale best practices of youth-led and youth-focused organizations in the areas of citizenship and governance, environment, education and employment, and health and hygiene. ADB provides a small seed fund to winners of Youth4ASIA and identifies ways they can be further mentored and integrated to ADB’s operations. Since its launch, Youth4ASIA has already run three searches and identified best practices on:

1. Natural Capital in the Greater Mekong Subregion 2. Sanitation in Asia and the Pacific 3. Education and Employment solutions for Asia and the Pacific Objectives

• Introduce Youth4ASIA and how youth can get involved in the project and activities. • Promote innovative solutions led by young people. • Inspire the participants to use innovation in solving Asia’s problems.

41 Changing Asia Series Speakers

Adrian Bonifacio, Advancement for Rural Kids

Advancement for Rural Kids (ARK) is focused on improving the education and health of school age children living in impoverished rural communities in developing countries.

ARK’s 5 cent/lunch Feeding Program gets rural kids back to school. The lunch is served to every kid every day class is in session (as opposed to other programs that feed only the malnourished and at 7x cost). The lunches are comprised of fresh and organic vegetables and protein. The parents and the community are empowered to supply the feeding program, creating new and much needed income. It’s groundbreaking, affordable and definitely not a hand-out. The 5 cent/ lunch is designed for the community to pay into it day 1, and for the parents and the community to own and sustain the program in 3 years’ time. At 5 cents/meal, parents who make $3/day can afford to sustain it on their own. With a $5,000 investment, a school with over 250 students will be able to transform into a self- sustainable community within 3 years.

It’s holistic and revolutionary. The program enables the community to dream, to invest in their solutions, to work together, and learn new skills. To access the program, the community first works together, investing in themselves by developing on their own critical assets like kitchens, school and backyard gardens.

42 Changing Asia Series Speakers

Marvin Cruz, Alay Ni Ignacio Summer (ANI) School

Parents and teachers volunteer to operate the kitchen and manage the program. Alay Ni Ignacio Summer (ANI) School provides a 7-week summer academic program of supplementary classes in Math, Science, and English. In addition, ANI replicates the private school experience where students experience Homeroom Classes, a Recollection/Retreat, various interest “clubs” and other extracurricular activities such as the Sportsfest and Picnic. All these aim to expose and develop them holistically.

ANI is run by college students from different universities like Ateneo, University of the Philippines, Polytechnic University of the Philippines and more. They assume the roles of “tutor”, “homeroom adviser”, and “club moderator” among others while also taking management and administrative positions in the organization.

Participants who successfully undergo the ANI summer school proceed to the Pathways program where they are bridged to college education while also furthering their development as future leaders from the grassroots.

Indeed, through this project ANI advocates equal access to quality education and youth empowerment.

44 Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farm Angat, Bulacan Venue for Community Visit

Introduction and Background

Gawad Kalinga (GK) is a Philippine-based movement that aims to end poverty for 5 million families by building communities and restoring the dignity of the poor, employing an integrated, holistic and inclusive platform approach to sustainable community building pillared on the following programs: Values Formation, Sustainable Community Infrastructure, Child and Youth Development, Food Sufficiency, Productivity, Public Health and Environmental Protection and Preservation.

GK is present in almost every province in the country, spread in over 2,500 intentional GK communities and affecting more than 1,000,000 people. In the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, GK is presently building 30,000 homes in 12 devastated provinces, mobilizing more than one million volunteers.

As Gawad Kalinga builds new communities on the ground, they are now entering a new phase of innovation; integrating sustainability rural communities through agriculture and the emerging field of social business—the first prototype of which, is the GK Enchanted Farm Village University in Angat, Bulacan.

45 The GK Enchanted Farm

The Philippines’ land area and tropical climate has provided an abundance of natural resources and crops, yet we export most of this wealth and heavily consume imported products and foreign brands. Meanwhile, our farmers are getting older with an average age of 57, and a diminishing interest from the young to venture into agriculture due to the perception that it is for the old and poor. Many young people are abandoning the countryside to seek better opportunities in urban areas—further fueling the rapid urban migration our city centers are experiencing; creating a rippling effect of the development of shanties and slum communities as urban centers have difficulty in coping with the rapid rise in population and meeting basic needs.

The GK Enchanted Farm aims to address these challenges by going to the root of the problem—the lack of development in the rural countryside. In partnership with the Philippine government and the private sector, and with strong linkages with universities in the Philippines and abroad, GK intends to raise 500,000 social entrepreneurs by the year 2024 to create inclusive businesses with a big social relevance and a focus on agri-business. Young entrepreneurs are given a space to experiment, develop high-quality products, and learn real-life business concepts while also being given the opportunity to engage with local producers and community partners. Founder of Gawad Kalinga Tony Meloto is the founder of Gawad Kalinga, a movement that builds integrated, holistic and sustainable communities in slum areas and remote rural communities with a vision to end poverty for 5 million Filipino families by 2024.

At a young age, Tony was exposed to the squalid living conditions of the poor, his home being near a shoreline squatter community where poverty was very pronounced. After graduating from Ateneo de Manila University with a B.A. in Economics, he worked as Purchasing Manager at Procter & Gamble. In 1995, Tony started working with the poor in the slums of Bagong Silang, Caloocan City, through a youth program that has evolved into Gawad Kalinga. Tony Meloto GK has been implemented in almost 2,500 communities in the Philippines and other developing countries such as Indonesia, Cambodia and Papua New Guinea. GK is not just a provider of housing but communities where beneficiaries are trained to cultivate sustainable sources of livelihood. GK has now entered into its 2nd phase of development focused on integrating sustainability in the communities it has built through the GK Enchanted Farm Village University Template. With a deliberate focus on countryside development and social entrepreneurship, the Farm Village University is the first of its kind in the world, designed to become a destination for Social Tourism, a venue for Social Education and an incubator for Social Business whose end goal is to raise 500,000 social entrepreneurs to create wealth where no one is left behind.

46 Described as a radical optimist, Tony is now building an inclusive platform for global partnerships, particularly in Europe, having partnered with 32 European Universities, 22 of which are French, attracting an average of 250 interns every year since 2012. The platform aims to promote social entrepreneurship for inclusive growth, bridging Europe through internships and humanitarian service with the Asian market to discover the vast opportunities in the emerging economies, with the Philippines as the hub. In the last 5 years, he has been invited to speak in many global forums, bringing attention to this unique model for sustainable development that brings together the rich and the poor to work in solidarity towards addressing humanity’s most pressing challenges—climate change, extreme poverty and food security.

At a time when most are happy to leave the country to look for greener pastures, Gawad Kalinga sparks hope in the Filipino dream—to restore this great nation and once again be proud to be Filipino.

This is Tony’s passion. A true man for others, he has inspired not just his family but hundreds and thousands of volunteers throughout the country and the world towards creating shared prosperity where the poor can thrive and attain to their fullest potentials so that together, we can all look forward to a better future for our children and the generations to come.

48 About Metro Manila, Philippines

Metro Manila. It’s a megacity with a huge appetite for fun. From its historic neighborhoods to the outrageous housing developments, Metro Manila is a maze of vibrant energy with bits of calm in between. This mighty megalopolis, is a grouping of 16 cities and one town with eleven million people who live here.

Also known as the National Capital Region or NCR, it consists of the cities of Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Manila, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon City, San Juan, Taguig, Valenzuela, and Pateros.

The original capital Manila, which the metropolis was named after, was situated in the banks of where the Pasig River meets Manila Bay. The 23-kilometer Pasig River was a strategic point for trade and commerce. History states that a certain mangrove, nilad, grew in the bank, and Maynila (the Filipino term for Manila), essentially means, “Where there is nilad”.

Manila grew immensely due to the Galleon trade. It lasted 250 years and was the longest trade route on the planet. From then on, the towns around grew with it. Although they were part of Laguna, Rizal and Pampanga provinces, they soon became cities. For purposes of governance, the cities were formed into a region in 1975, and the area was called the National Capital Region. It is now the seat of government and the major urban center of the country.

49 Main Attractions in Manila Intramuros Venue for Historical and Cultural Tour

Roughly translating to “walled” or “within the walls” in Spanish, the walled district of Intramuros is one of the oldest in Manila, with roots dating back to the early Spanish occupation era. Settlement and construction of the district began in 1571 and it for a long time served as the military, political, and religious center of the country. Intramuros today still houses a number of important and symbolic structures, including the old fortress Fort Santiago, the Manila Cathedral- Basilica, the San Agustin Church, and the Palacio del Gobernador or the Governor’s Palace.

Fort Santiago is Intramuros’ citadel, and in its history has been under the rule of four foreign conquerors: the Spanish since its founding until 1898, the British for a brief period in 1762- 1764, the Americans beginning 1898 until Philippine independence in 1946, and the Japanese during World War II. The fort is presently one of the country’s main cultural landmarks, with its ruins and some surviving buildings open to the public. The fort also houses a museum dedicated the Philippine national Hero Dr. Jose Rizal who was imprisoned in the fort before his execution in 1896.

The two churches present in the city are among four of the ‘Baroque Churches of the Philippines’ designated as UNESCO Heritage Sites. The Manila Cathedral- Basilica was erected in 1579 and has since undergone eight renovations due to both war and natural calamities. Three Popes have paid visit to the cathedral, namely Pope Paul VI in 1970, Pope John Paul II in 1981 who elevated the church to a minor basilica, and Pope Francis in early 2015. The San Agustin Church, meanwhile, was consecrated in 1607 and is the oldest stone church in the country.

Finally, the Palacio del Gobernedor was the site of the Spanish Governor-General’s residence and office of the then Real Audencia or Supreme Court. Today, the structure is home to various Philippine government offices.

50 Ayala Museum Venue for ABAC Welcome Reception Dinner

The Ayala Museum was established in 1967 by the Ayala Foundation (formerly the Filipinas Foundation) and showcases various exhibits on the history, art, and culture of the Philippines and its people.

Some of the museum’s permanent exhibits include ‘Gold of Ancestors’ which features over one thousand gold artifacts that date back to the pre-colonial era of the Philippines; ‘A Millennium of Contact’ which is a display of at least 500 pieces of ceramics from China and various other Southeast Asian countries found in the Philippines, with some ceramics almost 1,000 years old; and ‘The Diorama Experience’ which is a set of dioramas carved in 1973 that tell the story of the country.

The ground floor of the museum is also occasionally used as an events space, such as for the Manila Symphony Orchestra’s Rush Hour concert series. Additionally, the Ayala Museum has since 2013 housed the Filipinas Heritage Library, a research center that features titles and other resources on Philippine history, language, art, maps, and others. The library was previously located in the old Manila International Air Terminal in Ayala Triangle.

51 Lying at the heart of the Makati Business District, the Ayala Triangle Gardens is one of the city’s few green spaces. The area was once part of the historic Nielson Field, Manila’s first international airport inaugurated in 1937. In its first few years of operation, the airport was considered one of the best and largest facilities in the Asia-Pacific region.

However, in 1941, at the onset of World War II, commercial activity was suspended and the airport was used as one of the primary bases of the United States Far East Air Force, until it was taken over only a few months later by Japanese forces.

Following the war, the airport was transferred to the Villamor Airbase and the land and remaining structures were turned over to the Ayalas who owned the land. All that remains today of the Nielson Field is the structure of the Nielson Tower (or the Manila International Airport Terminal), which has been recently converted into a restaurant and can be found at one corner of the Ayala Triangle Gardens.

The Ayala Triangle Gardens currently sits behind the old Makati Stock Exchange, which was established in 1967, and the Tower One, which houses the current Philippine Stock Exchange, which was a result of the 1992 unification of the Makati Stock Exchange and the much older Manila Stock Exchange.

A monument also stands at each corner of the triangle in recognition of three people vital in Philippine history: Benigno Aquino, Jr., a former senator and opposition leader; Gabriela Silang, the first female revolutionary leader during the Spanish occupation; and Muhammad Kudarat, a sultan who prevented Spanish entry into the Philippine island of Mindanao.

52 Makati Shangri-La Hotel Venue for APEC CEO Summit 2015

The Makati Shangri-La Hotel is a 5-star luxury hotel, renowned for being one of the best in the country and in the region, having received numerous awards and distinctions since it opened in 1993. The various restaurants it houses are also widely considered top of the line, with the Makati Shangri-La kitchen also being recognized as the first Halal-certified kitchen in the country.

The hotel lies within the Makati Business district, and is within walking distance from some of the city’s business, tourist, and shopping centers. The hotel, through its function and banquet halls, has hosted many large events over the years, including brand launches, summits, sports events, and concerts, among others. Some notable examples are performances by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, and more recently, in 2014, the hotel played host to the World Economic Forum on East Asia.

53 Green Sun Hotel Official Hotel for APEC Voices Delegates and Venue for APEC SME Summit 2015

Sitting inside a 2-hectare car shop turned modern arts center, Green Sun is among the few places with a fascinating piece of history. Step inside and you’ll see the exposed pipes, bare concrete walls, and industrially- designed beams and ceilings. All are remnants of the original structure purposely kept to pay homage to the building’s past as THE HOTEL at Green Sun is designed a car warehouse and repair shop to deliver affordable luxury through back in the 1970s. innovation. It is the first in the country to use the same modular technology used in luxury liners to give the guests cruise ship-type of comfort even while on land. True to being home to the arts, each of the hotel rooms features a unique artwork by Maxeene Remulla – a rising Filipina digital media artist.

The grandest of shows and the biggest celebrations deserve an equally grand stage—this is precisely why Green Sun has The Eye. At first glance, the 1,000 square meter venue looks like everything you want your events venue to be: breathtakingly spacious and fully equipped with the best professional lighting and sound systems. The space has good acoustics; producing good quality sounds that are loud and clear without drowning people’s voices.

But wait until you see the high-end Sony projection systems project high- definition images throughout the 6 meter high walls, and marvel at how digital videos and images blankets the whole 360 degrees of the venue into a digitally created world. You can say, the venue got its name from its capacity to play with the eye, as the digitally painted images seem to come alive and momentarily makes you forget where you truly are.

69 The June Mayne Gould Leadership Award for APEC Voices of the Future

June Mayne Gould began her Asia Pacific journey in Golden Square, Bendigo, Australia, in 1919. She was the second child of a family grown from two generations of miners, who worked in the Australian gold mines, and teachers, who came to help build the schools and churches in this booming town that helped build the State of Victoria.

Growing up in Port Melbourne, June soon found she had the call of the sea in her heart and trained for surf lifesaving, receiving many certificates and awards for her achievement. All these and more led her to travel in Oceania and the greater Asia Pacific as an adult, settling in Long Beach, California, a major port town like Melbourne, to raise her family.

Although June did not have a formal education herself, due to the lack of family finances and the onset of the second World War, the home schooling and mentoring she received from her grandmother, aunt and mother, who were all top teachers in their towns, made her a keen observer of world events and a constant and vigorous encourager of all those around her to do their best. She was always happy to help people in need. Throughout her 30 plus years as a retail manager in the States, June mentored many young female executives who, like her, rose through the ranks of the large department store chain they worked for.

June’s generosity in letting her son, Noel Gould, Founding Member and Co-chair, APEC Voices Leadership Council, use a good portion of her modest retirement savings to help develop the Voices of the Future for APEC, helped to establish the program’s first years in Malaysia (1998), New Zealand (1999) and Brunei (2000). Thanks to the financial contribution of June, the Voices of the Future for APEC has grown from strength to strength and is known today as APEC Voices of the Future.

The June Mayne Gould Leadership Award for the APEC Voices of the Future, which was launched at the APEC Voices 2011 in Honolulu, is named in honor of June Mayne Gould for her immense contributions in the development of youth leaders in the 21 APEC Member Economies and will be presented annually to an outstanding student who has demonstrated sincere, positive, encouraging, helpful character and leadership throughout the APEC Voices Week, greatly contributing to the program by helping other students do their best and get the most out of their APEC experience.

The recipient of the June Mayne Gould Leadership Award will receive an APEC Voices Scholarship, where the award winner will have the opportunity to participate in the following year’s APEC Voices program.
