MANILA, Philippines — Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) from the heart of Central Luzon gathered early in the morning at the SM City Pampanga Event Center in San Fernando yesterday to participate in Go Negosyo’s free entrepreneur mentoring roadshow, “3M on Wheels.”
In a video message, Go Negosyo Founder Joey Concepcion welcomed the participants and encouraged them to continue supporting the Philippine economic engine.
Pampanga Governor’s Secretary Mairin Pineda Cayabyab conveyed the provincial government’s message of support for 3M on Wheels, Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Teresa David Carlos spoke on behalf of business organizations in Central Luzon, and content creator and Baked by Will owner William Reyes gave advice to attendees on how to become their own brand influencers.
At 3M on Wheels, current and aspiring entrepreneurs received one-on-one entrepreneurial training mentorship from Go Negosyo volunteers, who are veteran entrepreneurs and executives. Lucky attendees received a complimentary copy of Go Negosyo’s “8 Tips for Small Business Success.”
The 3M on Wheels event in Pampanga was also attended by high school students who became the new mentors for the Go Negosyo program, which includes Youthpreneurs, a program the nonprofit organization implements in collaboration with the Department of Education.
3M on Wheels is a program of the Philippine Entrepreneurship Center (Go Negosyo). The event offers free one-on-one coaching for current and aspiring entrepreneurs, as well as funding and market solutions.
3M On Wheels promotes the three “M’s” of successful entrepreneurship: mentorship, capital and markets. These three “M’s” form the foundation of Go Negosyo’s mission to foster entrepreneurship among Filipinos.
Inspired by the growing number of Filipinos aspiring to start their own businesses, the event aims to bridge the learning gaps in the entrepreneurial journey of current and aspiring entrepreneurs.
