My experience was involvement in RapidPass, and contributing to building the QR Pass... pandemic tech.
My thoughts are that we need an openness framework that allows us to interoperate... enabling people (tech, business, students anything) to contribute. To be part of the story.
Ang daming gustong tumulong, pero hindi lang alam kung paano.
I imagine sinigang valley to be an ecosystem, building a culture and space, becoming an enabler for people... directing their energies into change.
Something akin to building tech, systems, frameworks that allows people to rally together... i think thats what can allows us to address huge problems like regulation, logistics, etc.
Right now I think examples of that potential energy are these kinds of question:
-
Questions like Joshua's: "How is Sinigang valley going to be competitive"
-
Questions like "How can we contribute?"
We need to have a clear picture of where the conversation is already is in Sinigang Valley.
Examples of potential energy: People can write. People can talk about it. People can ask questions.
I remotely participated in a Mojaloop hackathon held in Africa, and one participant asked a Kosta Peric, from the Gates Foundation, and he asked 'how do we propose inter-operability to a monopoly?'
People leave, or people work secretively.
Like what Jenny said, there are limited opportunities in the PH, so people leave.
as open questions- and thats what I'm trying to do palang. Because there's a lot that I don't know.
