problems – tricycles, jeepneys, buses,<br />
“hammocks”<br />
2. Use readily available technologies to overcome logisticcommunication<br />
problems – GSM, SMS, internet<br />
3. Use readily available manpower to overcome manpower<br />
costs and availability – unemployed nurses, midwives,<br />

4. Transform volunteers to entrepreneurs to ensure<br />
sustainability<br />
5. Partner for leverage and synergy to overcome capital and<br />
budget constraints – private-public, private-private, forpr<strong>of</strong>it<br />
