- Once one of the richest men under 30 in the UK, Dylan Wilk gave up a life of luxury and moved to the Philippines to volunteer for the non-profit Gawad Kalinga. In his awe-inspiring TEDx talk, he reveals why - to live and spread the Filipino dream. Find out how he discovered this dream, and what makes him continue living it out through his Social Enterprise, Human Heart Nature Inc.
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)
i cried, bcoz we became strangers.....and strangers became deep rooted filipino.
Let's patronize Human Nature products and let's buy local for a better Philippines.
We do.
From lotion to toothpaste! I do buy their products.
His words brought tears to my eyes. I'm really sad and embarrassed as a native filipino, unable to do and live the Filipino dream. I was educated by my country but left to teach in the US instead of teaching in the Philippines. Now it's so hard for me to go back home because the American dream has transformed me into another person, living life like matter that I've become. All I do now is help back but I know there's much better help than being away. But I am thankful for Dylan's words, compassion., and kindness to the Philippines and the Filipinos. I know my encounter of him and his show on youtube is not accidental.
tom pagu you are still welcome here kabayan ☺
tom pagu Cause all we think about is how can we make our lives better financially and also our (for me) the lives of my future family. But you see, most of the people actually are missing the bigger picture. It ain't about money you know, it is about doing what you wanna do, and finding the actual life you wanna live.
tom pagu don't feel sorry. Maybe if there's a good job good salary you won't live And go to U.S. to work. In the Philippines there's no job for me. Not pretty enough, not tall and I didn't have a degree so no good job.
Still pinoy p din nmn u. Smpre u just make ur life a better one that why's.
Ofw has significant contribution to phil économie
You are helping the Philippines by paying your taxes. I swear Filipinos working abroad pay much much higher taxes than the average worker in the Ph. If you want to help Filipinos, give them online jobs. That's the greatest opportunity you can give them.
He nailed this on the head...spot on! We Filipinos need to learn to love each other & our country more; we should STOP our negativity & our pessimism. S.Korea, Japan & UK rose &came out of their post war recession by tightening their belts, looking, lifting & helping after each in their times of darkness...this is an expectation not just from the rich, but for also the poor, because even if you don't have money, you are still capable of contributing towards the development of each other & the country.
He deserves to be called a Filipino compared to most of us. It's a shame in ourselves that someone like him has more patriotism running in his veins than most of us did. Ironic isn't it?. Hats off to you sir!
Totally ironic... it should be us who love our own, and yet the one to teach us this one important lesson is someone who is not our own and yet has become one on his own volition.
Totoo yan.. ang kailangan ng Pilipino ay pagmamahal sa sariling bansa
Patriotism is frowned upon these days. Caring for your family, your culture, and even your country is now considered taboo.
It's amazing how much faith this man has over the Filipinos and our country. KUDOS! Thank you for the inspiration. :)
What he's saying makes a lot of sense. I hope a lot of people become inspired and, more importantly, MOVED to take action. All the best!
Ive been posting this guy on FB for years now. More wonderful than fiction, his life.
it's 2021... thank you Dylan...
Thank you Dylan for opening our eyes to live the Filipino DREAM! Love for God is translated in LOVE of country and Love for our countrymen in DEEDS of LOVE!!!
Buy Philippines of course. Even if it is more expensive than the goods in China, Philippines is worth it! HUMAN NATURE - I will remember this when I go home..
If everyone is listening to these and make these happen surely everyone will proper, i believe the best man power in the world all produce we can plant here. All we need is a good leader to push everyone who is sleeping and be awake. And i believe these happening now simula na ng pag-babago
Sometimes it takes a non-native to clearly see what is really important to the Filipino. Pinoys must realize the potential they have and the courage to expand on their talents. Unfortunately corruption is pervasive in the country which hampers that growth. It has to be stamped out and eradicated and empower the Pinoy. I salute you Dylan! Mabuhay!
Loving the family is number one in our Filipino culture. Although we are not perfect like everyone else worldwide, rich or poor Filipinos love the family & help each other in any way we can. And bcoz it´s normal for us within us, we do so with other people in some countries where a filipinos might be working. We just love people.
God bless this man!
I don't hear any British accent from him when he speak English he sounded pinoy
I'm so amazed!!!!...
I agree, love our country and live the Filipino dream in our own God given land!!! Thank you kabayan Dylan.
banyaga pa nag mumungkahi at nagsusumikap ipamulat sa ating mga pilipino kakayahan natin umunlad sa sarili nating bayan gising mga noypi,
Dylan Wilk! i knew him since high school. my idol when asked by my college prof. such an amazing man! :)
The best concept he mentioned is this, FAITH IN THE FILIPINO. I live in Dubai but one of the worst things I see is this lack of faith.. of confidence ...in the Filipino by Filipinos. Hope to meet the Human Nature team one day soon as I have my own enterprise in Dubai but our products are proudly Filipino made!
Thank you for all the kind things you said about the Philippines and Filipinos. Thank you for the faith and inspiration.
Thank you DYLAN for all the nice works and actions for my country
People let's Rise up and let our energy guide us towards our goals
This man is awesome!
His words resonate. Love his passion, his work, his love for all filipinos and for making a drastic change in a world where less and less people seem to care about.
Faith towards my fellow man restored. I commend your love for our country. I can tell because you have learned our accent
Wrong spelling of his name tho. It’s Wilk not Will
A full pledge EuroPino. I salute you and I thank you.
Produce and buy Philippines is what I'm promoting to all that I meet. That way, we will become a rich and progressive country because all the money that are pouring in will circulate in our economy. We don't need to buy products made outside where we throw the hard earned foreign money that are remitted by Filipinos abroad. Produce and buy Philippines. We can do it.
I love you sir! I'm touched by your words and your dedication to change Filipinos back to track! thanks for the trust and those wonderful words...
yeah. we need to start translating all school subjects in Tagalog. and part of the curriculum is to learn Ilonggo / Bisaya or whatever local dialect you prefer. then you take foreign language as post graduate education while we blend with our current lifestyle.
Salamat sa inyong magandang kalooban.
Very Inspiring. You made my day. God Bless.
Salute Sir!
Thank you Sir for inspiration for all Filipinos and someday I can meet you. Again thank you
God bless the RP/GB&TW !!!
Never too late my fellow kababayan. Do your game plan now, and in 2 to few years time, the only choice you have is to play it in your hometown.
I hope we all have this kind of mindset.
i wish all filipino think like this guy.. just image what we could have accomplish for our mother land.
Listening to him really pains me coz it's true.
he has the semblance of Richard Gomez..great talk!
Thank you
Very inspiring 🙂
God bless us !
salute Sir!!!
Thank you sir for empowerment for Filipino. I'm an ofw buy I never buy and send balikbayan box.because what's in my mind is we have all the need to buynin my country philippines.i buy only chocolate and body soap and 2 shirts ,1 of each of my 3 kids for pasalubong.God bless u sir hopefully by the help of a man like an u and our President Duteterte and the next Mr.bong bong marcos.our country will be great, wonderful and beautiful again.
Wow! Inspiring sir..God bless you..
Watching this kind of video how I was enlightened how different between social enterprise and capitalism
As we always consider importerd than local produce
Respect
THAT'S WHY FOLKS WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR GOVT.....GO FEDERALISM PHILIPPINES!!!!
Filipino needs to change their attitudes towards buying imports! Buy your own products! The government can enforce this into law, but this has to start with you and with every Filipino!
this is a big slap on us Filipinos, imagine a foreigner's faith on what could we do for our country and to our country...change is still possible...we could still make our country the best place to live in....we should not give up on having the same kind of faith in our country...we could still hope for the best not only for the better but for the best PHILIPPINES!!!
Nationalism and patriotism... that's all we need
who gives the thumbs up down to this videos ?? this is amazingly beautiful video
ang galing!!!
Very inspiring 🙏🙏🙏
amazing!
Great Man!
Inspired me a lot
perfect
we also make great doctors. my sister works day and night with no pay just to be one
Life
I share your dreams to only it's more easy to apply if we TEMPORARILY changed our Government for at least 15 to 20 years then The Philippines our Country will become the Most beautiful country thus making us a truly recognized nation
wow
sad that you all are looking to him for your inspiration and hope
Funny how a foreigner knows so much about loving our own country and puts it to practice better than most of us
.
filipino dream is about stability with God, community and self
If I close my eyes, I would say he has an Indian accent lol. Anyway great talk.
waveboreale
True nahaluan na ng pinoy english accent kaya ganon haha
The problem is, those who have power are corrupt, greedy and selfish that sometimes we don't trust each other. Those stubborn people do not even care of the people who suffer and only think of themselves and 'their' problem. People really need to stop thinking of themselves but think about their country and maybe the whole world..

Stop the blaming.. it all should start within us.. ang kailangan natin pagmamahal sa sariling bansa.. simulan mo sa simpleng pagtatapon ng balat ng kendi sa kalsada.. imbis na itapon mo ilagay mo sa bulsa qng walang mapagtatapunan.. isipin natin na para sa kalinisan at kaayusan.. lahat magsisismula sa maliit hanggang umusbong..
It happens everywhere sa iba't ibang bansa merong ganyan hindi lang tayo. Yung iba mas malala pa sa atin.
I'm eating right now
Wowwww i felt ashamed!what's his saying is true.....
None of these will come to fruition until the root problem is addressed: CORRUPTION CORRUPTION CORRUPTION..... in all levels. Its an endemic problem, that s why people keep going abroad.
i like this guy, lol
Haha......kuleeeet
Bruuuh, he even forgot how to speak like an English person. Sounds cute tbf.
