China just topped the recent tests administered by Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in Math, Science and Reading. India, on the other hand, has one of the steepest educational growth rates in the world today, making the increase in number of Indian engineers, scientists and IT professionals impossible to go unnoticed in the global landscape.

» Who are the guest speakers?

Keynote Speaker
Mr. Caesar "Butch" L. Conde

He is a former systems analyst of Procter and Gamble, Philippines. He is the chief visionary and chairman of the board of Meridian International Learning Experience, a primary and secondary school with a strong nation-building thrust and a curriculum that is built upon and promotes 21st century real-life learning (barely a decade old, various communities are seeking to establish their own Meridian school here and abroad). He is presently the wellness director of Planet Infinity, a fitness facility with branches in the Philippines and the USA. He is also the chairman of the board of the martial arts training institute More Than Medals (MTM), also based in the Philippines. His in-depth teachings attributed to his research, studies, and frequent travels across the globe include history of civilizations, geo-politics, Asian and Western philosophies, global trends and paradigm shifts in social, economic, and political spheres, as well as 'overall wellness' for the individual person. He delivers lectures both locally and internationally to various people groups including those in the business, government, socio-civic, professional, and of course, academic sectors. His insights should enrich and help expand the Filipino educators’ understanding of a changing world.
