Conversation with Illac Diaz

Dear batchmates, i had a talk with Social Entrepreneur/Commercial Model and ED of MyShelter Foundation, Illac Diaz, last night regarding the possible assistance that we can provide to his future projects here in Surigao. Have you seen the Day-asan National High School building? It was his concept.

This is it:


He said, there is no pipelined project for Surigao for the moment as they are still in the pilot-testing stage of the Bamboo School, another kewl breakthrough in innovation. What a brilliant mind!

The concept of the Earth Bag School was furnished to the city and provincial government should our LGU wants to build another one. So what we need is wait for the updates from the LGU. I will personally follow-up with the Province regarding this so we can make our necessary preparations. May i remind you that the best service we can provide is in the construction phase, so magbanat-banat na ng buto. Hehe.

We will also wait for some updates from Mr. Illac Diaz should he once again decide to construct the Bamboo School here in Surigao. Saw the concept from his laptop and it is really really great. Imagine the bamboos live for 25 years.. Not only that, there was this another concept of cheap way of washing the laundries. Kewl.

I gave him my contact details, (and have a photo of the Earth School autographed by him. Least i can do. I have no guts to ask for a photo op. Haha)

So that's all friends, stay tuned for the updates.
