A Farmer's Son
“My story could be your story. As Filipinos, it must be our story.”
Dado Banatao was born the son of a farmer in the rural Philippines. He grew up in poverty, without shoes or access to electricity.
In the 1980s, Dado's innovations helped usher in the era of the personal computer. He pioneered the PC chipset and graphics acceleration architecture that continue to be two of the foundation technologies in every PC today. Along the way, Dado founded three companies: S3, Chips & Technologies and Mostron.
This is his story, filmed in March of this year on location in Cagayan, Cebu and Manila.

" I was excited, but I was also so intimidated. Everyone seemed smarter than I was. So I studied twice as hard...."
I am proud to be one of his scholars. Such an inspiration.

Me too
I am the son of a Mississippi farmer and carpenter. Neither occupation was right for me and I studied more than anyone in my school. It was tough but I did become a CPA and ultimately a corporate accounting manager for a thirty billion dollar company. I was never the smartest but I did have one of the highest levels of motivation and more importantly an uncompromising standard of ethics.
Proud to be one of your scholars Mr. Dado! :) Looking forward to seeing you again soon in our graduation ceremony! :0
Awesome story. "As Filipinos, it must be our story". Salute.
No instant gratification for this fine man ! Hard work and determination was his goal. This man is a REAL hero ! His story should be shown to children in poverty stricken areas, such as, AMERICA !

Thank you for helping our homeland people.
This was an inspirational and heartfelt story. I was having chills towards the end of it. Excellent story of success that you could get inspiration from.
Beautiful story of determination - thank you for sharing and taking the time to craft this lovely message.
Determination, discipline, hardwork, focus, dream... Thank you for waking me up...
Thank you for being an inspiration to our nation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am blessed to see the foundation helping so much and your story inspiring many! However, as a farmer and trainer, I look forward to the day where farmers are no longer regarded as part of the bottom of society. And a future where we don't need to go out of the country because local Filipino entrepreneurs provide the jobs and opportunities right here in the Philippines.
This really brings me back and one of the reasons that I came to the US because my mother wanted something better for me and I became a Web Developer because of my determination, this is basically my story.
this is so inspiring.I will let my students to watch this video for my lesson.
S3 may have been dwarfed by the likes of Nvidia these days, but their work lives on through the S3 texture compression scheme used in games to this day. It's safe to say that you can thank him for why you're able to play DOTA or League of Legends.
Goosebumps! RESPECT!
I know people who worked with their families on farms, studied, succeeded and were always proud of their farming background!
Your story is very special - and I do so love this video!
Beautiful video and amazing story!
Proud To Be a Son Of Farmer 💪🙏😊
An inspiring story beautifully told.
I found this in my grade 4 HELE(Home economics and livehood education) Book because our topic was business, Great story.
Mabuhay ang Pinoy !!!
I watch it everyday :-)
Very Inspirational!
it gaves a motivation to be more deteminated. Going to be an engineer someday and gives my family a healthy life
Now my hero in Science and Engineering, a real IC Designer indeed. Being a test engineer we looked at designers with highest regards. Ang dami palang talented sa bansa natin aside kay Dado, si Dr. Zara, at Dr. Nebres ng Ateneo at iba pa. Hmm bat behind tayo sa STEM(Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) sa ibang ASEAN. Consumer country tayo eh, walang sariling tech products na catalyst sa economy.
Iba talaga 'pag hindi gaanong sensationalist ang presentation.
such inspiring story.
i'M PROUD TO BE A BANATAO SCHOLAR (BISKO), AND ALSO TO BE HIS FELLOW IGUIGENO. THANK YOU SIR DADO FOR SUCH AN INSPIRING STORY. HOPING THAT SOMEDAY I WILL FOLLOW YOUR FOOTSTEPS.
Excellent
no matter. it will keep our young scientist faith that Pinoys can wield success. we have the best president today. i hope he hears this. very inspiring
great vid 👏🏼
Your story same with me. Love it😿😿🙆
I wish to talk to Dado Banatao one day...
now I have to study!
One thing Dado forget to do the significant job is to develop concept on clean and nutritious food in order to develop food based enterprise....we always forget the system that support life....

I am just worried of the term used "wanting better life" but he said farmer put food in the table. there is something wrong the way we defined "farming" I am sorry for that....try to imagine the world we don't have farmers. we are just losing productive farmers. not just farmers...professional and productive farmers.

+JULITO ALIGAEN i agree yet, having high goals in life is not bad as long as you still remember where you came from. The video is not encouraging everyone to not be farmers or hate the life of a farmer but to encourage them to aim high and let not poverty stop you from achieving your dreams. I myself is a farmer's son and I am proud of that. thanks

I agree too. But there is a better way of farming. Using technology to yield better things... Better productivity. Happier farmers. And that is why we need to learn. We need to step up. We need to be brave. We need to have a more futuristic perspective while being humble enough to see what is in our past and present. God willing, can happen :)
Good day, can I use some of tge clips of your videofor my advocacy video? I'll give credits. Thank youuu
