September 24, 2026 Ladies of Harley GALA NIGHT - Oath Taking and Induction of Founding Members and Officers Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts What This Means to Me as H.O.G. Philippines Regional Director? I find myself reflecting on what it truly means to stand before the founding members and officers of Ladies of Harley Philippines Chapter and formally declare this chapter founded. As the H.O.G. Philippines Regional Director, this is more than an induction. It is a respons

A hacker attacked 100 companies in five days. Total cost: about $8,000. Less than half a million pesos. Per company, as little as $3. The price of a cup of coffee. This happened this month. The attacker gave AI agents a list of company websites and told them to find a way in. The AI did the rest: it probed each company separately, broke into at least 30, planted hidden code on their checkout pages, took more than 600,000 credit card numbers, and erased its tracks. The victims

ASEAN is set to become the world's 4th largest economy by 2030. That's a big number. But here's the question that matters more: why do we still trade so little with each other? Less than 25% of ASEAN's trade happens within the region - less than half of what Europe or North America trade among themselves. I've spent almost 30 years watching this region up close, first inside a global company, now as an advisor. And I keep seeing the same gap: we're proud of the size of the ec

A year ago today, at the ReFuel Forum USA 2025 in Dallas, I had the opportunity to sit down with Electric Era Technologies and discuss the future of EV fast charging. At the time, our conversation focused on a simple but important question: Could innovative EV fast-charging technology developed in the U.S. have meaningful opportunities in Asia Pacific? One year later, that question feels even more relevant. Across Asia, the conversation around mobility is moving beyond EV ado

Honored to attend as guest at the Healthcare Information Management Association of the Philippines' (HIMAP) Q3 General Assembly. A workplace either earns its place in a hybrid world, or it doesn't. That was the challenge on the table The featured framework - "The Workplace Strategy Puzzle" broke the decision into four interlocking pieces: Physical space, People experience, Business performance, and Compliance & ESG. Here's where I'd push the conversation further: all four p

A new ING Bank study makes a case worth sitting with. Telecom, computer, and business services now account for 7.1% of the Philippine economy - up from 6.3% pre-pandemic. Employment across ICT and professional services grew 4.5% over the past year. Digitally delivered service exports are up 24% since 2022. AI isn't shrinking the industry. It's reshaping it - pulling demand toward higher-value, higher-skill work in financial and computer services, while traditional BPO normali

Almost none are asking "what's our knowledge foundation?" Microsoft and KMS Lighthouse just spent a full day in Dallas on exactly that gap - not model size, not compute, but the unglamorous layer underneath: can the AI trust what it's retrieving before it answers a customer, an employee, or a citizen? My experience taught me something that transfers directly here: you don't scale a system on an unproven foundation. You certify the foundation first, then you build. Most Philip

After decades in the corporate world, building businesses, working with leaders, embracing technology, and serving communities, I’ve learned one thing: Leadership is not just about what you know. It’s about what you’ve experienced, what you’ve learned, and how you use it to create impact. Some days, I’m talking about AI in the morning. Enterprise strategy at lunch. Community advocacy in the afternoon. And motorcycles over coffee. Different conversations. Different environment

What if the cameras you already own stopped being just a record of what happened - and started being part of preventing it? That is the Unique Value Proposition of RXS Meta Group in partnership with www.corsight.ai Corsight is a facial recognition technology built to work in real-world conditions most systems struggle with - poor lighting, obscured faces, awkward angles, movement, grainy footage. It's the first company of its kind certified under the world's leading standa

When Advocacy Earns the Enterprise Four years on, the lesson still holds. Back in 2022, as H.O.G. Manila Chapter Director, together with our officers and members, we set out to run the Great Lakes of the Philippines Motorcycle Adventure - not just a ride, but an advocacy for local tourism and the communities that depend on it. What stood out wasn't the route or the bikes. It was watching an enterprise like FastCat (Archipelago Philippine Ferries Corporation) step forward to b

Over 100 rides as Road Captain, leading H.O.G. (Harley Owners Group) across the Philippines, taught me something no briefing room ever could: the plan is a hypothesis, not a promise. Julia Galef's The Scout Mindset put language to an instinct I'd built on the road. She distinguishes the soldier mindset - defending a position because you've already committed to it from the scout mindset: mapping the terrain as it actually is, and updating the moment it changes. One ride, the w

Today, I joined the DZRH Operation Tulong Voltracom CSR Volunteers alongside Lighthouse Bible Baptist Church for a medical mission in Tatalon, Quezon City - medical consultations, dental services, free medicine, eye check-ups, and community outreach delivered to families who needed them most. Twenty-nine years in corporate leadership taught me that impact isn't measured in boardrooms alone. It's measured in whether the systems we build and the time we give actually reach the

This photo is from September 10, 2024 - months into building RXS Meta Group, attending The AI Conference in San Francisco. Honored to be there, side by side with AI experts and leaders from OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA, and the US Department of Defense - a room where the AI conversation was already moving past "which model" to "which governance." The path there wasn't linear. After 29 years with Chevron across Asia Pacific, I took three years (2021–2023) away from

Circle K now runs 6,000 EV charging points across two continents. Their VP of Global eMobility, Håkon Stiksrud, said something on World EV Day that stuck with me: "The EV transition will not be won by just building chargers." As RXS Meta looks at the charging infrastructure space, three things from his interview matter more than the hardware: Uptime is trust, not IT. Customers return to a location out of habit — one dead charger, and that habit breaks for good. The bottleneck

WE ARE MAKING HISTORY. RXS Meta is honored to be part of AGENTSCONF DEEP TECH - the world’s first AI Agents conference. This is more than another technology event. It represents a glimpse into a new way of doing business. At AGENTSCONF, corporates and startups are represented by their own AI agents. Instead of humans spending hours moving from booth to booth, exchanging business cards and trying to determine who might be relevant, the agents do the first layer of discovery an

I recently came across Simple Truths of Leadership: 52 Ways to Be a Servant Leader and Build Trust by Ken Blanchard and Randy Conley. The book reinforces something I have learned through different chapters of my own leadership journey: leadership is not about being served because of your position; it is about serving people because of the responsibility entrusted to you. Looking back, I have experienced servant leadership in very different environments. At Chevron, I learned

After 29 years leading enterprise strategy and cross-border innovation across Asia Pacific, I founded RXS Meta to innovate with purpose, AI-Driven and ESG focused. The Macro Picture: The 41% vs. 18% Disconnect According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS), as of July 2026, 22% of all businesses report using AI applications in business functions, led by Information (42%), Professional & Technical Services (40%), and Finance & Insurance (36%).

At Roxas SaaS Corporation, the technology company of RXS Meta Group, we believe the right technology conversation starts with one question: What business problem are we trying to solve? We don’t sell technology first. We solve the business problem first. Our approach brings together AI-native enterprise technology expertise, strategic thinking, and operational experience -from diagnosis and business-case development to deployment, adoption, and measurable impact. With eight g

Your sales team says you made ₱52 million this quarter. Your finance team says ₱46 million. Both reports are sitting on the CEO's desk right now. Which one is true? In my experience, watching this exact problem play out in boardrooms across Asia Pacific. It's almost never a tech problem. It's a "nobody agreed on the rules" problem. Most companies don't actually have a data problem. They have three different systems - sales, finance, operations - each keeping their own version

Here's a question every Philippine business owner should be asking: is AI actually making your company smarter or did you just buy a faster tool? There's a difference, and it matters for your bottom line. In my experience, companies in the Philippines start with AI the same way: automate one repetitive task - data entry, customer replies, report generation, scheduling. Good first step. It saves hours. It cuts cost. It's the easiest business case to defend. But here's what the
