Dear friends from PinoyFilm.com and the Arts & Culture community,

I would like to invite you to a dialogue with Nick Perlas about issues close to your heart. You may or may not have made up your mind about your choice in the upcoming elections, but I encourage you to attend this event and get to know Nick, and listen to what he has to say about creativity and the essential role of arts and culture in nation-building. I'm part of his campaign and have gotten to know his views and plans on these topics, and I assure you that by event's end, at the very least, you would have learned something. :)

Feel free to forward this message.

Best,
:)Dino

"Art can be anywhere, in society, in anything that you do, where truth is the essence of what is trying to manifest at that moment." - Nicanor Perlas interview on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSDbrScd9bM

Ask Presidential Candidate Nicanor 'Nick' Perlas about his views on Arts & Culture & other issues.

The 5th pillar of PANGMASA (Partido ng Marangal na Sambayanan) aims to Promote Holistic Education and Inner Change:

"The fifth pillar strives to Promote Holistic Education and Inner Change. Better schools, colleges and universities, drawing out the many talents, intelligences, and potentials of students, are crucial. Equally as important is self-directed education and transformation. At the end of the day, it’s important to also address the factor of inner change—taking responsibility for changing our hearts and minds. No one can do our inner work for us. And there can be no genuine change in a system or institution if the people who work there do not change. Depressed, apathetic, and poorly trained people cannot create visionary and high-performance organizations, much less a world-inspiring country. Individual and cultural transformation are the foundations of the other pillars."

Find out how Nick plans to carry out these goals by attending this roundtable with artists and cultural workers.
