Maintaining a time-demanding career and pursuing your passion may be difficult but not for Atty. Rene “Rebo” Saguisag, Jr.  He is a multifaceted individual who, despite his busy profession, never turns down an opportunity to work with his passion. Aside from being a notable lawyer, following the footsteps of his father, prominent human rights lawyer Rene Saguisag Sr., he was also a former BEST Center coach and is currently the UAAP commissioner for two consecutive seasons, 78 and 79. On top of that, Atty. Rebo is also a strong advocate of sports development among the youth naming the Mindanao Peace Games as one of his involvements. Recently, he even volunteered to manage his son’s little league baseball team.


How does he balance his passion and profession? “I don’t,” Saguisag wittingly answered. “I just married the perfect wife who fills all my shortcomings.” Law practice and basketball seem like two different worlds. Managing each would require his undivided attention as they are both time-consuming and emotionally draining. He explained, “I don’t see it as an obstacle but a challenge and opportunity to better myself so I never even considered choosing one over the other. In fact, if handled properly, they can even complement each other.”

Saguisag stated that his success as a lawyer, his pride in being a former BEST Center coach and now the UAAP commissioner, his commitment to being a good family man, and a better individual are all because of the lessons he learned while playing basketball when he was still young.

All I really needed to learn, I learned inside the basketball court,” he shared.

Saguisag’s experience as a former coach for BEST (Basketball Efficiency & Scientific Training) Center, multi-awarded and pioneer in basketball clinics in the country, helped in his values formation. He noted how the organization has instilled in him discipline and a great sense of responsibility. The strict guidelines and high standards imposed and maintained in the clinics and the proper behavior required in the court, along with the values taught in team sports, has molded him to become who he is today.

He further explained, “Playing and coaching basketball aided me in knowing the technicalities and rules of the game which is vital in my position as a commissioner. Meanwhile, small details such as punctuality and grooming (like making sure my jerseys are tucked) helped in how I properly carry myself, even inside the courtroom.”

So far, the former BEST Center coach and now notable lawyer-cum-UAAP commissioner enjoys the best of both worlds and aims to implement his advocacies for the development of both fields. He also encourages everyone not to limit themselves to their own comfort zones but instead, be open to opportunities, accept challenges and turn these into achievements. Above all, never undermine the seemingly trivial lessons you learn along the way for it is through these experiences that make you who are, regardless of what you are.

One of the top distributors and marketing company in the Philippines, Macpower Marketing Corporation, held a product launch last May 22nd, 2017 at the F1 hotel. The newest line of Boompods is here.

Boompods began as a homeware design and manufacturing business and was originally known as DT Design. It started its audio products in 2012 with the aim of producing quality, innovative and hip audio products. Their products stand out because they are: original, well-designed, stylish, hard working, and functional. 


The night's highlight was the demonstration of the ruggedness of the Rokpod. The speaker was subjected to and passed the durability test by way of dropping and throwing the speakers on the floor and immersing it in water. Thanks to its multi-layered design and solid-rock construction, the speakers still worked and gave out quality sound through its nano speaker technology and passive bass system.

Last May 24th at A Space in Legazpi street, Makati, Sun life conducted a Live Brighter Session featuring Jonathan Yabut. He is the first ever winner of the hit reality show "Apprentice Asia". It is a gathering of bloggers and aspiring financial advisors. Yabut shared the story of how he rose from humble beginnings to become a successful businessman and an in-demand motivational speaker.




Jonathan Yabut, after winning the reality show, served as Chief of Staff for AirAsia. Yabut runs his own company JY Consultancy & Ventures which now operates in Manila, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore. He shared how he won the TV competition, his life experience, work tips and principles.





Here's a rundown of 5 important things he shared:


1.Success is when preparation meets opportunity.
He won Apprentice Asia not because he is the brightest person among the contestants but because   he is the most prepared among them.

2.You don't need to say yes to every opportunity.
Successful people practice Triage. Triage is the procedure of assigning levels of priority to   tasks or individuals to determine the most effective order in which to deal with them.
Steve Jobs once said "I am proud of what we don't do, as I am with what we do."

3.In order to stand out, you also need to stand back.
Leadership is pullership, not pushership. 
Leadership is being able to influence someone to get that objective done even if that person doesn't like you or even if that person doesn't like his job.

4.It's not about working hard, but smart.
Is there a better way to do it?
Before you even execute and jump into any task, always zoom out first before you zoom in. Ask yourself if it is the best strategy for attacking.

5.The secret to success is out there. It's called Grit.
Grit is passion and perseverance for very long term goals.



JP Cruz is a Sun Life Financial advisor and also shared his personal journey and an inside look at his own career.  He said he once reached rock bottom in both his finances and his love life, and he shared things he did to overcome the struggle. He is now a successful Sun Life advisor and interestingly stressed a thought akin to what Yabut emphasized: that is to to have a deeper reason for the work one pursues. In his case, Cruz finds it by helping people achieve lifetime financial security.




“There's so much inspiration to be had in this Live Brighter Session, between Jonathan's and JP's stories. I'm sure that the bloggers who joined us in the venue and even those who tuned in via Facebook Live found motivation to continue pursuing their dreams and finding a purpose to serve,” Sun Life Financial Advisor Recruitment Manager Fin Bernardo said. “We hope that this also opens to them opportunities that they can enjoy if they become a financial advisor. It's a career that's definitely meaningful, and at the same time financially rewarding.”





“Live Brighter Sessions” are set to be held in Cebu and Davao. For more details, follow @sunlifeph on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Interested to become a Sun Life advisor? Visit bitly.com/sunlifeadvisor to learn more.
