Conversations with a mover
One-on-one with Tonette Binsol

ANTONINA “TONETTE” BINSOL is a rare breed of Filipino. With an excellent education, a stable job and a promising future, she can be content with the daily humdrum of life. But Tonette is not run-of-the-mill; she is a mover, a symbol of the adage that “to whom much is given, much is required.”

Tonette is the founder and force behind the four-year-old cyber NGO Tulong Pinoy Movement (TPM), which is committed to supporting needy Filipinos by making use of information technology in building partnerships and empowerment-sharing with individuals and organizations worldwide. TPM provides the virtual venue by which these partnerships are mobilized for poverty alleviation in the Philippines.

AS AN INVESTMENT BANKER, I get to meet all sorts of people in the street. There are long-time clients who believe in the institution I represent, as much as I do. There are those who cast a normal pattern of doubt about the new products that we sell, thus, subjecting us to countless Q&As until they finally buy. There are also some who generally relate trust and confidence vis-à-vis one’s status in society.
