MANILA, Philippines – ABS-CBN’s Karen Davila is back in the country after a three-week program at the Harvard Kennedy School in Boston.
One of the Philippines' famous broadcast journalists, Davila was among 77 picked for a leadership program fully sponsored by the Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum.
“Tatlong linggo nandoon po ako, Harvard Kennedy School sa Boston... Ang tinake ko po ay tinatawag na leadership program, sa ilalim po siya ng Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum. Sa klaseng ito, ang mga kasama ko lang ay ang mga Young Global Leaders. Seventy seven po kami sa klase,” Davila said during her first day back on her DZMM program Pasada 630.

Davila said she was fortunate to be in the class of YGLs from different countries.
“Nakakabilib. Iba’t ibang nationality, may mga Tsino, may mga Indians, mayroon pong mga Pranses, Belgians from all over the world,” she said.
The 40-year-old journalist said the leadership program was not academic in nature.
“Ang scope ng leadership program na iyon is about authentic leadership. Mga professionals na po kami lahat doon, nire-reinforce niya, binubuksan niya ang mata mo, isipan mo sa bagong uri ng liderato, pamumuno, sa pagtingin sa isang bagay,” she said.
Still excited about her recent experience, Davila shared what she learned from the Harvard classes.
“We had classes on decision-making. May klase kami sa negotiation. May klase rin kami na “The Unconscious Mind.”
Ang tinackle ng professor, the hidden biases of good people. Kahit mabait ka, mayroon kang mga bias laban sa isang tao. Nagtuturo sila on hard and soft power...nagtuturo sila on how to influence people through a nudge... Pinag-aralan din namin halimbawa kung ikaw ay isang NGO, kung ikaw ay may isang advocacy, paano mo iyon gagawing policy sa isang bansa,” she said.
Davila also mentioned that they were able to study the Apple strategy which is “one of the most successful case studies in the United States and in the world.”
Last March 20, Davila took a study leave and was back at work Monday, April 18.
Davila anchors ANC Headstart, ABS-CBN’s late night news program Bandila and DZMM’s Pasada 630.
