The ICONIC BarCamp is back, better and stronger than ever before.

BarCamp ASEAN 2017 returns with visions to share and inspire people greater than any previous events we have ever hosted.

BarCamp ASEAN 2017 is not about camping, FYI, it is a community. It is a community that accumulates great talents from all over the country to share their new innovations, ideas, opinions, and so much more. In addition, the participants will have a chance to sit through discussions between big names from various industries and expertise on topics that concern social innovation, technology and entrepreneurship.

One may wonder ‘Why should I participate?’.

Participating in this event would serve you a lot of advantages. Not only can you get to share a lot of topics with people from different walk of life, but you also can be part of the conversation regarding building a better community through technology and social innovation.

One may ask ‘ What kinds of advantages?’

You will have to participate to find out. But let us give you one hint:

Learning is not just a process from classroom alone, you learn from experiences throughout life, and Barcamp acts as a mediator for you to absorb the experiences from great personnels that have achieved a great deal of successes in their life.”

So what are you waiting for? Mark your calendar, Set a reminder, because we are coming back fiercer than ever. We are hoping to see you all on the 21st and 22nd of October, at Institute of Technology in Cambodia (ITC).

            Come, Experience, and Be successful.”

This event would not come into practice without the help from our partners. We would like to express our deepest gratitude toward Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, Institute of Technology in Cambodia, Smart, EZECOM, and many other partners that support and sponsor our event.

Skil launches Paint the Town Red for grassroots communities nationwide

For the past six years, the Philippines has been one of the highest growing countries for Skil, one of the most recognized brands in the global power tool industry. Skil is giving back to the Philippine community through its recent philanthropic endeavor Paint the Town Red, which aims to construct 40 basketball half-courts in 40 selected barangays nationwide.

The campaign underscores Skil’s commitment to creating sustainable corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects aimed at community building and youth development.

“Skil is investing in sustainable CSR projects that do more than just widen brand awareness and visibility. The main idea is to do good and to do well. Through Paint the Town Red, Skil does not only build basketball courts for communities to enjoy, but we also donate small power tools for their various projects,” said William Go, Bosch Power Tools Country Sales Director. “In partnership with local government units, we are able to conduct hands-on training workshops and seminars for members of the community to teach them how to properly use power tools as a source of livelihood.”

The campaign also brought Skil ambassador and champion basketball coach Norman Black onboard to exemplify the brand’s strong American heritage and commitment to delivering precision and performance to a range of power tool users.
“Coach Norman is more than just a poster boy for the brand, he is Skil personified. He gets the job done, whether for basketball or for the carpentry projects he does at home. In line with the campaign’s mission to contribute to grassroots youth development, Coach Norman is the perfect role model to inspire and engage the youth to get into sports as a fun and healthy outlet with all its physical and social benefits,” said Martin Valenzuela, Skil Brand Manager.

Paint the Town Red recently turned over the first of 40 basketball half-courts to Barangay Bangkal in Makati with more than 100 barangay residents and guests in attendance. Among esteemed attendees were Congresswoman Monique Lagdameo, Barangay Chairman Fermin Eusebio, Bosch Philippines Managing Director Joseph Hong and Skil Brand Ambassador Norman Black. After Bangkal, Skil will take the campaign on the road with stopovers in other communities in Manila and Cebu.

To strengthen its relationship with local communities, Skil and Robert Bosch, Inc. continue to support various advocacies, namely Class of 2010, Habitat for Humanity and MyShelter’s Liter of Light among others. These projects form part of the company’s initiative to uplift the Philippine society and contribute to the evolving economy.
