BGC's Learn Over Drinks Social Club

Nightlife, but make it mean something.

Think Responsibly is where a historian, a honey connoisseur, or a psychologist gets the mic instead of a DJ — and the room actually leans in. No syllabus. No pressure. Just good drinks, great company, and ideas worth sticking around for.

What We're About

A better reason to leave the house.

Think Responsibly started with a simple bet: a night out in BGC could be more than another round of small talk. So we built something in between — part TED-style talk, part night with friends. Real experts on real topics — history, psychology, space, stress, ethics, honey, tarot, whatever's actually interesting that month — delivered over drinks, not lecterns.

🧠

Learn Something Real

Every session is built around an actual expert and an actual idea — not filler. You'll leave knowing something you didn't walk in with.

🍸

Good Drinks, No Pressure

It's still a night out. Grab a round, find a seat, and let the talk happen around you — no notebooks, no quizzes, no dress code for your brain.

🤝

Genuinely Curious People

Think Responsibly attracts the people who ask a second question. It's the easiest room in Manila to make a real connection in.

How It Works

Four steps. Zero pressure.

Pick a Session

Check what's coming up and who's speaking — topics rotate every time.

Show Up, Order a Drink

Walk into a real bar with real friends and a real drink in hand. It's still a night out.

Hear the Talk

Short, sharp, expert-led — built for a bar crowd, not a lecture hall.

Stay for the Conversation

The talk is the icebreaker. The conversation after is the actual point.

Wisdom, Curiosity & Culture

An evening built around honey and history — one guest broke down what actually shapes a honey's flavor profile, the other made Philippine history feel like something worth arguing about at the bar.

Choosing Your Battles

One talk on when to fight for what matters and when to let it go. One on cheating in school in the age of AI — and why the technology isn't really the problem.

Louis Enriquez, Founder of Think Responsibly

The Person Behind the Program

Meet Louis

Founder, Think Responsibly

Louis Enriquez didn't set out to build a nightlife brand — he set out to get people talking to each other again.

By day, Louis is a Human Resources leader who has spent his career on exactly one problem: how do you get real, busy, distracted people to actually connect. He's built engagement and talent programs inside some of the region's biggest names — including Citi, where he served as President of Citi Green Team Philippines driving sustainability initiatives, and ING Hubs PH — before moving into his current role at Pioneer Insurance. Ask anyone who's sat through one of his team-building sessions: Louis has a gift for making a room full of strangers feel like they've known each other for years.

Think Responsibly is that same instinct, pointed at a Friday night instead of a conference room. Louis noticed Manila's nightlife had plenty of noise and not much substance — and that the city's most curious people had nowhere to put that curiosity after 7 PM. So he built a room for it: one where a historian, a honey connoisseur, or a psychologist gets the same mic as a DJ, and "what do you do?" isn't the only question anyone asks all night.

Off the clock, Louis answers to a much stricter boss: Arrow, his Chow Chow, who runs a tight schedule of naps, walks, and being fluffy at the worst possible moments. Nothing rattles you on stage after negotiating bath time with a Chow Chow.
