Join the celebration!
On April 25, from 7 AM to 7 PM (GMT +8), TLC will mark our milestone year with a whole day of online Quincessions!
Why Quinceañera? We embrace the symbolism of this Latin American tradition—a coming-of-age celebration—as a reflection of The TLC Solution’s transition into maturity. It is a tribute to cultural resilience, a theme deeply relevant to our Filipino identity and our shared human journey.
Throughout the day, we will feature 15 insightful sessions, bringing together remarkable past guests from our First Friday Forum (F3) and TLC Marquee programs, alongside inspiring new voices from across the globe. This is an opportunity to engage, reflect, and co-create a thriving future—one conversation, one mindful act at a time.

What?
A World in Transition
We are living in a time of profound transformation. Climate change, conflict, economic instability, and social divides are reshaping the world as we know it. The pace of change is relentless, often leaving people feeling uncertain, disconnected, and overwhelmed. The urgency to adapt and find new ways of thriving has never been greater.
So What?
The Meaning Behind the Moment
These existential crises challenge humanity to rethink how we live, work, and relate to one another and our plant. A collective shift in consciousness is called for. The way forward requires resilience, wisdom, and a deep commitment to collective well-being. At The TLC Solution, we recognize that transformation begins with awareness—seeing patterns, understanding with compassion, and facing uncertainty with courage. Our 15th anniversary is not just a celebration; it is a reaffirmation of our purpose: to foster meaningful conversations and inspire action that nurtures people and the planet.
