BBM From Japan Bringing Back 7 Deals – We Have To Think Forward With Innovations & iKnowledge!

-

Follow-up of my yesterday’s blogpost volunteering without being asked about what to do with the news on President Ferdinand “BBM” Marcos Jr’s fruitful visit to Japan, bringing back to Manila 7 deals, including Agriculture and the Digital Economy – 2 of my favorite topics! I earned my BSA from UP Los Baños, 1965; I learned my digital skills on my own, from writing to editing to desktop publishing. So, what else is new?! 
(“Think Forward 2023” from wearesocial.com), a Japanese website.

Yesterday, I blogged: “PH Agriculture – Good News And Bad News, Coming From Japan!” where I said: “BBM Sir, Let’s Go Digital In Organic Agriculture With Japan’s Expertise!” (15 Feb 2023, THiNK Journalism, ithinkjournalism.blogspot.com).

Yes Sir, BBM, I'm ready for my country enriching herself with Regenerative Agriculture (RA). Where “regeneration” means “rebirth.” That is, thinking forward, to indicate the target of an innovative PH Agriculture that is dedicated to solving Farmer Poverty and simultaneously resolving Climate Change.

I have been ready since 2017 with my “infusion of innovations/iKnowledge sharing” – see my essay of 30 July 2017, “William Dar's Farmer-Centric & Frank Hilario's Knowledge-Centric Agriculture” in my other blog, Frank A Hilario (frankahilario.blogspot.com), where I wrote, among other things:

As a background, the [lower] image [you see above is] a full-face relationship view of the basics of my Theory of the Infusion of Innovations… Ideally, it is Science that moves the Knowledge to the Journal in the form of a Paper which then publishes it, which then moves to or attracts the Media to produce News & Views, which then moves Knowledge to the People in terms of Data, or Info, or Fun, or Games. The theory is Infusion of Innovations; the process that carries out the Infusion is Knowledge Sharing. Fundamentally, deliberate knowledge sharing is what is lacking in Everett Rogers Theory of the Diffusion of Innovations…

In short, in Agriculture, we must transfer Knowledge from Here to There, from Us to Them – and the Internet is where it’s at! (No, Sir BBM, they don’t do much about this even in my alma mater University of the Philippines Los Baños, as UPLB does not even have its own Knowledge Bank! Teachers not teaching enough!

So, today, I am offering my BBM Sir! My concept of digital knowledge sharing in Organic Agriculture, which is part of Regenerative Agriculture (RA) starting with what we can learn from Japan with her digital expertises, plural. (I'm also editing a book on organic farming on rice and sugarcane.)

We should all “think forward” despite our “fragmented futures”
(“Think Forward 2023” from creativebrief.com)

Right now, I have to “think backward” – the last time I mentioned it was 2 years ago when I wrote “William Dar – PH Man Cultivating Our Cultivators. More, Cultivating Our Minds!” (08 June 2020, THiNK Journalism, blogger.com). Mr Dar had submitted his proposal for a Knowledge Bank he called “Open Academy for Philippine Agriculture (OpAPA) – which is what we needed yesterday yet! For our farmers for our sake, we have yet to explore the Internet!@517

What We Are Witness Of Is All Unlove – Where Is The Love?”

Just browsing Facebook posts and sharings, you will note insistent & persistent efforts from many sources inviting people to join their churches other than Roman Catholic – that is to say, they are the true church and not the Catholic Church. Today, as a Catholic, I ask, “Where is the love?”  (“Where Is The Love?” image from pxleyes.com ) We humans need the loving, not the dividing. “Love is the Only Path To Christian Unity, Pope Says” ( Cindy Wooden, 26 Jan 2024, ncronline.org ). L’Osservatore Romano says Pope Francis says ( osservatoreromano.va ): Jesus can thus conclude that the right question is not: “Who is my neighbor?” but “Do I act like a neighbor?” Only a love that becomes gratuitous service, only the love that Jesus taught and embodied, will bring separated Christians closer to one another. Only that love, which does not appeal to the past in order to remain aloof or to point a finger, only that love which in God’s name puts our brothers and sisters before the iron

To Celebrate People Power Revolution, I Am Calling For A Media Power Revolution Starting Now!

February 1986. We were watching TV and listening to the still-bravely-broadcasting single radio station. The Philippines’ historic 4-day “EDSA People Power Revolution” in Manila happened 22-25 February 1986. Me, I wasn’t there on EDSA in the first few days because of fear for my life, but on Friday, 24 Feb, listening to the radio I thought that FM’s soldiers were winning – and so I conquered my fear and joined the throng of people walking EDSA. I walked from Guadalupe Bridge to the gate of Camp Crame . When helicopters hovered over the building near the gate, I thought they had come to bombard Crame to kingdom come. No. Yes, they were sympathizers of the leaders of the rebel soldiers: Fidel Ramos and Juan Ponce Enrile .  (“Anniversary EDSA” from bing.com ) I then walked to Channel 4 of the government’s TV station, already captured by EDSA people. I don’t remember what the fellow being interviewed said, but I was happy. When I got out of Channel 4 and returned to the gate of Camp Cra

Life Lessons You Learn As You Go – Here I Go!

I’m 83, a happy blogger among other things, and why should I now be learning “8 Life Lessons I Wish I Knew Earlier” from Brian McEntee, an animation and Art Director known for Ice Age (2002), The Brave Little Toaster (1987, and Beauty And The Beast (1991) (IMDb, imdb.com ), published 24 Jan 2024, source quitandconquer.com )? The list is shared by Ramon Rivera on Facebook (image of “Life Lessons” from bing.com ). And yes, I can identify with all 8! Brian McEntee is an animation art director; here is his list ( Quit & Conquer , quitandconquer.com/ ): 1. Time is your most valuable asset. 2. It’s okay to fail and make mistakes. 3. No one is coming to save you. 4. What you aren’t doing is just as important as you what you are doing. 5. Spend time thinking about what you want your life to look like. 6. If you don’t know what to do, pick something and adjust your plans as you go. 7. Don’t compare yourself to others, compare yourself today to who you were yesterday. 8. D
