Theme: South!

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.
