MANILA – For the first time ever, Graphika Manila, the annual conference for creativity, was held over two days, inviting double the speakers for twice the inspiration.
While the first day already saw the delegates getting their fair share of wise words from the speakers, the second day proved to be no less enlightening.
Here are some more words of wisdom from the speakers on day two.
