Father Xavier Alpasa talks about his experiences in dealing with and helping the Sumilao farmers, who had their lands returned to them through the assistance of the academe and the church, along with many civilian sympathizers. But this small victory is not enough; for real change to occur, Fr. Xavier elaborates that the gains of agrarian reform must be sustained, and that is where social entrepreneurship comes in.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
