After a two-year stint, I am leaving the Young Liberals and Democrats of Asia (YLDA). The greatest gift I received while working for YLDA was the opportunity to get to know people who would inspire me to do more and do things even better.
One such personality is former Bukidnon congressman Nereus “Neric” Acosta. An acknowledged expert on the environment and climate change, Neric is also creating a niche for himself in the field of education and leadership training and management. It is thus such an honor that he obliged to contribute a piece to my last project with YLDA, the book on Asian Freedom Writers. Having read his articles and having heard him speak, I was looking forward to reading what he has to say on the nexus between education and freedom. And Neric, as usual, did not fail me.
