The Pinoy Pilgrim Global Enterprise Innovation Competition 2010.

We need geniuses.  PinoyPilgrim needs geniuses.  There are many Pinoy geniuses and to spot them, the last thing we would look at are their grades.  We look at abilities and talent rather than grades.

In this regard, Pinoy Pilgrim Global Foundation Incorporated launches the:

Pinoy Pilgrim Global Enterprise Innovation Competition (PPGEIC - "pronounced pp-geek")

The PPGEIC-UP Diliman seeks to explore and implement ideas, transforming them to an end-result that would benefit Philippine Society and the world.   Tell us about your ideas and if your ideas are worth transforming into a reality, we would look for funds to implement the project you have in mind.

We have first chosen UP Diliman for the launching of the PPGEIC but early next year, we would launch the PPGEIC in other universities across the country as well.  This is the second funding initiative of Pinoy Pilgrim to projects dedicated to geniuses.  The first project we had launched was an initiative to help the Headway School for Giftedness, a Quezon City based private grade school for high IQ students.  The Pinoy Pilgrim Global Enterprise Innovation Competition will be the second project we have, this time targeting university-level, graduate-level, and post-graduate level students.  If you think your ideas are worth calling genius-ideas, this is the chance for you to prove it.
