The 12th episode of ISFO Podcast in collaboration with the Ateneo de Davao Formation Office Junior High School Unit is entitled "Bakit Ako? Siya na lang! Kaya ko ba? A Conversation on Contemporary Leadership".

The Ateneo de Davao University Vision and Mission articulate the necessity of forming ADDU Sui Generis Leaders. It is a result of the integration of the four areas of students’ formation namely, human, spiritual, social and leadership of the Jesuit Education.  Sui Generis leaders are educated and formed according to the Vision and Mission of the ADDU. They have optimally benefitted from the life of the University – Jesuit, Catholic and Filipino-and have personally appropriated its values and mission. In this context, they are prepared for a life of leadership dedicated to the common good through careful cultivation of appropriate ideals, virtues and leadership skills”, (J. Tabora, SJ, 2012).

Currently, talks on leadership is the in-thing. The Philippine as a nation will have the election where leadership is will shape a new landscape in the country. It is chance for the then trained leaders-to-be to lead. It is but fitting to conduct a talk on Leadership without taking any political stance or bias. Community leadership have their own terms of office where leaders take turns in leading the group. Often times, when the time comes, invited leaders ask: “ Bakit Ako?’ “Siya na Lang” “Kaya ko Ba?”. These are series of questions that only a leader once say ‘yes” and deployed may be able to answer rightfully. Hence, this concept of a formation talk is put forth: “Bakit Ako?’ “Siya na Lang” “Kaya ko Ba?”: A conversation on Contemporary Leadership.
