the poster boy of philippine social enterprise

Someone's been at it, and he's been doing one heckuva job. Social Enterprise may be a rather new concept in the country, but it has no less than Illac Diaz as its trailblazer. Awarded as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men for social entrepreneurship last December, and a 2005-2006 MIT Humphrey Fellow, Diaz has founded organizations such as the My Shelter Foundation (they build classrooms through earthbag technology), and Pier One (a dormitory for migrant sea laborers).
