Rizal Philippines
July 13, 2016


Yesterday after coming from a meeting where we were finalizing details of document to purchase a shell company, I got  call from a cousin doctor who wants to lower the interest of her current loan which racks in P200,000 interest monthly.  She went into this against advice now she wants a lender with a lower rate.

So we went to the office of her acquaintance who turned out to be a super millionaire, entrepreneurs, celebrity, (she was linked to celebrity.  )  She just acquired a bank has lending investor, into build and sell business. Her team in the bank are top names in the industry:   the chairman led a chem company, the VPs are from big medium sized banks and are celebs in their own right.

I told my story that:

1.  I worked in a rural bank before.   I know the manager of the bank she wanted to acquire in the town where I live;

2.  I headed a savings and loan association for 8 years and simultaneously established real estate projects to complement the savings and loan business.

3.  I am a grad school professor;

4.  I still have grand plans about memorial parks and subdivision development.

The CEO of the group of companies promised to help my cousin and wanted us to talk more on how to run her bank and how to develop her landbanking

Quality education with fewer students?n Careless whispers going around the school

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

A security guard recently commented while I was going up the elevator at BI that there are much fewer enrolls now and most rooms are vacant and if there are occupants not so full.  I do not know why he made such comment. This is not the first time I heard whispers of this type of remarks.  May be this is part of the move to make education at the school level up.(not to mention great professors who are no longer around teaching)

Some careless whispers say that from 4 figures the number of students enrolled now is down to 3 digits.

The leadership and management of the school would be the one responsible and know the answer and solution to this.decline.  If the goal is to reduce enrollment, then they are successful and have better quality education then they are successful.

As a school teaching marketing and strategy, the professors can bang their heads together and find the answer. or solution if such exists
