Silicon Valley firm Plug and Play Tech Center is sponsoring a pitch competition for budding Filipino technopreneurs, whose business ideas deserve attention from venture capitalists looking for people who can handle the rough-and-tumble crucible of the Information Technology (IT) world.

The goal is to “bridge the top Filipino technopreneurs to Silicon Valley,” said Jojo Flores, Plug and Play’s Co-Founder and VP for Operations.

“We also felt that enabling the success of international Filipino-owned companies complements the country’s objectives of building and strengthening its BPO and IT industries,” Flores said.

Since 2006, entrepreneurship-centered Plug and Play has served startup tech companies by providing them the resources necessary to accelerate their growth: from office space, data and telecommunications services, networking events, recruiting services, and perhaps most importantly, a network of fellow startups and potential investors.

Minamahal kong kababayan,

Tadhana ang nagbuklod sa atin dahil naghihingalo na ang ating bayan. Nais kong pumasok sa isang kasunduan sa inyo. Lalaban tayo para sa wastong edukasyon ng bawat batang Filipino. Lalaban tayo para sa abot-kayang serbisyong pangkalusugan. Lalabanan natin ang kahirapan. Lalabanan natin ang mga kawatan. Lalabanan natin ang sinumang wawasak sa kalikasan. Lalabanan natin ang sinumang manggugulo sa ating kapayapaan at katahimikan. Ang laban natin ay laban ng bayan. Sa ngalan ng aking mga magulang at sa gabay ng Diyos, gagawin ko ang lahat ng aking makakaya na pagsilbihan ang mahal nating inang bayan. Bilang tunay na sagot sa kahirapan at tunay na daan sa kaunlaran, ang inyong lingkod, Benigno NoynoyAquino III, isang mamamayang Filipino, nangangako sa Diyos at sa bayan, hindi ako magnanakaw.
