Coincidently, the opposite side of the world from the Philippines, Brazil holds the TEDGlobal2014 in Rio de Janeiro. The global south separates us side by side but needless to say it turns the rest of the world #SouthSideUp. Enough with turning things around, while we are all under the same fabric of thoughts, design, innovation, and overall progress; still, culture remains innate and that unique patch of fabric is in its own identity. How the south of our country mobilized economic movement along with its innovative influence of culture has shaped the Philippines’ core and earned the name Queen City of the South, all in one day, in a simulcast of ideas.

  • Stacy Danika Alcantara

    Youth and vigor is not this woman’s downfall but her guiding light. Her young age is not a hurdle for this Dumaguete born girl, as she conquers not only the Global Stage but the TEDx Stage. In a metaphoric sense of trading guns with roses, she believes on what hard power can do, soft power can do better. She deems that soft power can increase the Philippines’ share of heart and share of mind. Miss Stacy is nationalistic by profession and Filipino by birth. Her “Ideas Worth Spreading!” will not only resonate here in Cebu but also all throughout the Philippines and in all corners of the global arena.
