Innovation from Pinoys presented at Jessica Soho TV show at GMA 7

"Innovate or DIE"

Last night, Aug l3, 20ll, I watched the Jessica Soho Kapuso Mo GMA 7 program. She presented several creative ideas at the show; I only saw and remembered 3:

l. Coffin furniture by Jun Tupaz in Cebu. He fashioned all house furniture from coffin: closet, sofas, beds ceiling lights. They are unique. In the beginning, people feared the furniture. Now they are liked and they draw in more customers and business.

2. Unique sculpture from wood gathered from Ondoy flood. There are sculptures made from the wood flotsam from the Ondoy flood. One that I like is the THINK BIG CHAIR - a very large chair. The creator studies in the US.

3. Unique, weird crazy acrylic figurines that are out of this world. They are products of wild imagination of the creator. They sell well although his parents object to this.

I saw another creativity at the next program - INVESTIGADOR by Mike Enriquez. I see another kind of inventiveness - that of not following hygienic and safe processes in cooking and preparing the hopia and/or merely using corn or food coloring let us say for ube hopia.

What do you think of these creations/innovations? Are they useful to society and economy?
