FILCOLS will hold its third IP in the Age of Jejemon lecture in the Global City!
IP in the Age of Jejemon will be held at the AVR, Global City Innovative College, 3rd Floor, Bonifacio Technology Center, 31st Street corner 2nd Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City on 14 January 2011 at exactly 10:00 a.m.

Around two hundred students coming from Nursing, Business Administration and other courses are expected to attend the event. Alvin Buenaventura, the executive director of FILCOLS, will present some powerpoint slides about the connection of the Philippine economics, intellectual property, copyright, education and academic publishing.

The speaker will deliver the lecture in Filipino to make intellectual property concepts and issues less agonizing and intimidating for the Filipino students.
After the lecture, an open forum will follow.

FILCOLS’ IP in the Age of Jejemon aims to help the students be aware of what they can do for the country through respect for IP. The first lecture was held in University of Santo Tomas. The second one was held in Ateneo de Naga University.
IP in the Age of Jejemon in GCIC was made possible through the efforts of GCIC’s Engr. Michael S. Tan, President, Dr. Carolina P. Danao, VPAA, Jayson Bergania, assistant of the president and FILCOLS.
