The
Department of Education – Negros Island Region held its fourth Youth
Formation Summit, more popularly known as the “Nation of Heroes 4” on
October 21-23, 2016 at La Carlota City, Negros Occidental. Thousands of
students and teachers from the different schools in the region gathered
for 3 days of fun and learning.
With the theme “Batang Bayani: Bahagi Ako ng Pagbabago,” the summit aimed to build the leadership skills and mindset among the Filipino youth.
Pocholo “The VoiceMaster” Gonzales was
invited back to the Nation of Heroes event as one of the speakers on the
third day of the summit. He inspired and motivated more than 2,000
students and teachers by teaching them a simplified approach to
leadership with his talk entitled “8 to be GREAT.” The VoiceMaster
shared the 8 qualities that makes a great leader, which includes
passion, persistence, sharing, and love. He challenged the young people
in the audience to discover their passion and purpose, and spend their
lives expressing it. He even talked about Dr. Jose Rizal as the epitome
of Filipino greatness, and shared untold stories about the National
Hero. He challenged the audience to become familiar with Rizal’s life
and work not for learning history, but to learn and emulate his
principles and ideals.
The VoiceMaster also talked about the
power of the voice, and how he has used his own voice from when he was
young, not only to entertain people but to also inspire and motivate
them. He told about his experience starting out young in the voice
acting industry, and how he built his reputation in the world of voice
by building the first-ever voice acting school in the country, the Philippine Center for Voice Acting. Of
course, the VoiceMaster’s talk would not be complete without the
proverbial “sample” – which he did by imitating personalities and
showcasing the commercials, animation and Koreanovelas he has voiced. He
also wowed the audience with a storytelling session where he did
cartoon character voices. The VoiceMaster gave the opportunity to
volunteers from the audience to showcase their talents.
Nation of Heroes 4 was held in
partnership with the Schools Division of La Carlota City, Gaba-an Youth
Lead, New Ground Events and PRISAAP.
