But again, we have no such figures. Looking forward to more posts on this matter at your blog, Mark! I agree, we should also take stock of the techno entrepreneurs in Davao.

That is, entrepreneurial and managerial skills attuned to any of the hi-tech industries (e.g. those in the ICT industry). Hopefully, I will have learned enough from my studies to contribute to that when I come home. On the other hand, I also believe that we already possess much of the knowledge about entrepreneurship and management. It's just that, some of the relevant people of and around the ICT industries do not realise this. I've suggested more than once to a number of people that this technology entrepreneurship movement should tap the minds of management academics and practitioners. Why re-invent the wheel when we already have high-caliber faculty members such as those in UP Mindanao, for example, who can assist in this area. World-renowned (and I'm not exaggerating here) academics such as Prof. Larry Digal, Dr. Behng Concepcion, and Mike Soledad, among others are already there in Davao City. Why are we not tapping them? I have a number of other ideas in my head, but I don't want to hijack your comment area yet again. So perhaps I'll just reserve it for another time.
