Good morning everyone.

I want you all to turn to your right.

Tell that person you look amazing today.

Louder!

Now turn to your left.

Say to that person. Today you will change your life.

Fantastic. Are you now ready to listen?

Okay. Come. Follow me.

I want you all to extend your hand.

Now close it. Look at it with intent.

Slowly open it.

Imagine

that was how small my daughter was.

Just 1.9 kilos.

Her head was as small as a golf ball.

I waited for her for 22 years.

And the doctor told me

she has 24 hours to live.

My world crushed. But

I have to fight for her life.

So I did the best that I could.

I whispered

my child. Live, fight and succeed.

Seeing her with tubes all over her body in the ICU.

The odds were very high of losing her.

The babies were dying left and right.

But I told her, and I prayed. You can do it.

You will survive.

I put her

on my heart.

Today. That child is here.

She is nine years old.

A world champion in taekwondo,

a valedictorian, and now aiming to be an Olympian someday.

She fought the odds every single day of her life.

We received so many no's, it's impossible for her to Hard to survive, you know.

She taught me the true meaning of resilience.

It's not just bouncing back, but fighting forward

with grace and hope.

Levi is a reflection of her generation.

They're called now the Gen Alpha.

Did you know today there are 22.5 billion Gen Alpha?

Imagine that. Now it is our role as adults, as parents,

as mentors to invest in their resilience

because we have invested in our businesses.

We are change makers in our communities.

We invested in making apps AI.

Why not today? Invest in one child,

especially in the AI age.

You see, during our journey of hopelessness,

one person helped us and believe that she can survive.

Because of that, it gave us a spark of hope.

So we want to pay it forward.

We want to make sure we give that to the kids.

I’ve been an educator as I paid forward

for the last 25 years, but believe me,

who wants to become a teacher in this generation?

No one.

No one.

But why not mentor a child today with your stories of resilience?

Now.

If you don't do it now.

When after ten years you saw the video

the pros and cons of AI

do the good thing.

Now this time I want to challenge you.

Do you have a phone? Take it out.

Come on, take it out.

Now. The challenge. Drop it.

Oh, no.

Nobody wants to drop it.

My daughter said don't do that. It will break, mama.

But remember,

we have screen protectors.

That's the new kind of resilience.

Kids now are like smartphones.

They are super smart, very, very fast and super connected.

Not sometimes in the real world, but a different world.

However, Were. They're all so fragile.

With one post, with one unfollow.

Their world will collapse, so they need you more than ever.

I challenge you now not to be a fobo.

It's a new term. Fear of being obsolete.

Because

right now, some of you didn't even take the phone out.

That's a nonchalant leader.

Some took the phone but did not let go like a helicopter parent.

Some took the challenge,

but have a safety net and I'll be sure I need to watch out everything.

But some of you. You knew you had a screen protector and let go.

Just like raising a child.

When the foundation is very strong in building their resilience,

you can let go and let them fly.

In the Gen Alpha world, they have a new language.

They have a different meaning for resilience.

Number one rises to the next person.

Do you have Riz?

Riz is charisma confidence

that I have a big goal and even if I fail, I'm going to bounce back fast.

Next, they have the shift mindset.

If something does not go right, I can shift instantly.

That's the gift of the Gen Alpha

and the last is link.

They link with the rest of the world, but sometimes not with the parent.

So the challenge now How do you build the resilience

in the 25 2025 study in Harvard on how to build resilience?

With children at age, you know, the number one thing connection,

positive connection with one adult.

It may be a parent, a Tito, a caregiver, a mentor, a teacher, a coach,

at least one in their lifetime who will believe in themselves.

I call this the AI kid formula AI.

There's a shift, a authentic be real, be you.

I you must be intentional with what you do with them.

And please remember at least one letter

for the word kid K kick start their dream with microlearning

at least. three apps.

Three minutes and master it for three days.

That's my challenge for you.

But you know, for every choice, there's a price and a consequence.

What is the price?

Parents and adults.

Leaders. It's your sacrifice.

Sacrifice of time to be consistently being there.

Remember, Levi, she has a new dream.

She wanted to become an Olympian.

But to become an Olympian, she has to be 16 years old.

So right now we have started doing gymnastics,

but we trained seven days a week,

3 to 4 hours a day.

We have to give up convenience,

but we're willing to go all the way Because dreams start

when somebody really believes in you, when you don't.

Number two,

are you the one who will ignite their greatness to goodness?

Skills are not enough.

Without character, greatness is nothing.

When goodness is empty,

I want you to

know the story of my student, Eli.

When she was young,

all the field trips, all the activities in school.

Her parents came.

They have activities in the church

and they are very supportive of her.

And did you know

this year

she graduated magna cum laude in Harvard?

But there is a difference.

Eli did not just focus on herself.

That's very rare in the Philippines.

What she did in her Cup,

she promoted a lost cause honoring the World War Two veterans.

And it went viral. How can a kid promote

somebody else?

Because she believes the next leader starts from the youth.

She started the Kalasag movement.

Kalasag means protection.

She goes all around the country using social media to teach the kids

to love their country through service.

Isn't that amazing? And the last story.

Maybe this is you.

They do epic things. Be an OG original.

I want to tell you about a different story.

She was single. She's not a the parent.

Then she saw someone selling Sampaguita in the streets of Makati.

That kid was very good in math.

But she was not studying.

But she was very poor.

And she said, okay, let me help you.

I want you to study. She gave her one lifeline the gift of education.

She gave her scholarships from grade school up to college.

And did you know

that one child became our salutatorian at Eton?

She was the first recipient of our scholarship grant.

Our mission became to make international education accessible to all.

And that child lifted her family.

At 22, she was able to give a house and lot to her family.

That is Mentorship.

So choose one

three stories, one formula.

Resilience. What is the benefit?

Number one, you live a life of significance.

You did not waste your life.

Some call it happiness, but some call it their calling or peace.

Choose yours.

So as we end in this world, put your hand like this.

It's full of pressure.

Ten times stronger because of AI.

Now I want you to play with it like a ball.

It relaxes you. Use pressure. Turn you to play?

Sure. Let learning be fun with the kids.

Make it games. Use AI positively.

And lastly, if ever they fall.

Remind them they are never alone.

From pleasure. Do the pleasure.

So in the end.

Remember your phone.

You now have the power.

With one swipe. With one post.

You can lift a life with positivity.

Or tear down people with one click.

With one message.

Build resilience instead.

Because remember, I want you now to think of one person in your life

when you are so down, one person believed in you.

And it changed your life forever.

Remember?

Every billion start up started with

one person supporting a dream.

Every movement,

one action with courage

and every word leader

with one resilient child.

So right now,

what if all of us

think of one person?

Maybe reach out to one lonely child,

a rebellious youth, just one?

Or turn to your right again,

a hurting adult. Turn to your left.

Someone who has a big dream.

Who thinks it's too late.

It's never too late

to empower and build somebody.

You see your

calling is irrevocable.

Your gifts, your talents can be multiplied 10,000 fold.

Just start with one share right now.

Your stories of resilience because we all have our pain points

and success points. They will learn from you.

Imagine one person can reach a thousand.

I'm sure you have more than 1000 friends, right?

If that 1000 friends reach out, they can reach 10,000.

Some of them have million followers.

Imagine together we can reach that 22.5 billion kids.

Because with God, nothing is impossible. Thank you.
