How to plan and execute a crime - the first group activity in Entrep Class

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

This post no longer teaches the subject.  But I recall with fun and laughter the activities the class had, whenever there was class presentation when the activity of presenting how to plan and commit a crime was presented.

The plans were audacious and incredible and they can only hatched in a devils workshop (meaning to say we can be creative when in a hypothetical situation without rules)    However the activity was premised more on moral and ethical grounds.   The entrepreneur in his search for wealth, may attempt something that has crossed the borderline as when De Lorean attempted to save his business by going into illegal drugs

As when a powerful govt official finds nothing wrong in asking the inmates (as alleged) to produce (as what they say in the military) millions to fund the 2016 election campaign.  Well they obeyed and produced.  Only to be double crossed.  

I know that some top PNP before took care of criminals, became their patrons for illegal drugs, hold up and kidnapping, at 5 to 95% sharing (5% for the criminals under care, 95% for the patron) and then when the press is hot, have them the culprits killed and the patron come out the hero.  The lady turned out to be the hero after 19 were removed allegedly out of competition.

But that is inhuman, to get campaign funds from the prisoners or to force prisoners to cough up campaign funds dont you think, and then use the august halls of the govt to defend them?

You first got it in my entrep class, remember that?!

                          Prof Jorge awards a gift t the winning debaters/group - entrepreneurs are made

I was so glad to have traveled/commuted to be with a group of very enthusiastic and very bright students from AGSB Clark last Friday.

We continued discussion on who they are and I annotated their discussion of life history with the connection of their life with entrepreneurship. A new class member came:  Christine Tubig whom I learned is an executive officer of a family owned real estate business in Floridablanca.  Their PTM are OFW and their packages are in the P1.2 to 2 million price range.   I hope the OFW boom continues.

Our main activity was the group creative activity - ie presentation of crimes.  Committing  crime calls for high level of creative thinking, problem solving, anticipation of problems, exit strategy (in case you get caught) or even how to distribute, fence, launder the loot.  Legitimate business can  not afford not to benchmark copy the criminals hatch a crime.  And also, people, I am amazed, really get out of the box when they plan a crime, and could be dangerous.  The crimes presented were:   Philhealth scam (on eye operation)  black mail, and betting on sports (basketball)  The betting on basketball exposed the dark side of sports which is the more lucrative part:   betting.   Football, and other sports have joined the dark side.

Thus the joke on Disney left.. (If you did not get it, you must have a slow IQ or that the joke is reserved for geniuses)
