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

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

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.

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%).

Every meaningful partnership begins with a shared conviction about where the world is heading. Today, RXS Meta Group formally enters into Strategic Partnership & Ecosystem Collaboration Agreement with the Oquent Group of Companies - a partnership we are proud to carry forward. For over two decades, Oquent has quietly built one of the Philippines’ most formidable technology-driven ecosystems. Through Oquent Global Corporation and its subsidiaries, the group delivers enterprise

Here is a number most Philippine fleet operators do not know about their own operations: between 15% and 25% of fleet costs are invisible. Not hidden in fine print. Not buried in a vendor contract. Invisible because there is no system watching. Fuel siphoned between depot and destination. Vehicles used for hours with no record. Drivers carrying risk the organization cannot see, measure, or prove. Maintenance triggered by breakdown rather than data. And when a COA auditor, a b
