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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”
