Go Negosyo @ 10: Building a country of enterprising Filipinos

Go Negosyo celebrated its 10th anniversary with a dinner program for its community of entrepreneurs, advocates and partners last July 28 at The Eye, Green Sun Makati.

Since 2005, Go Negosyo has been advocating for a change in mindset among Filipinos towards a positive and enterprising attitude and for competency-building among Filipinos as the real solution to poverty. Go Negosyo continues to be a catalyst in grassroot economic upliftment. It has been a decade of pursuing — with passion — the building of a more optimistic and entrepreneurial culture among Filipinos.

In a short program, Go Negosyo recognized dynamic legislative leaders like Sen. Bam Aquino, Sen. Sonny Angara, Sen. Grace Poe and Sen. Cynthia Villar for their respective efforts in empowering Filipino entrepreneurs.

Go Negosyo also recognized entrepreneur enablers, educators and icon entrepreneurs who have become inspirations and mentors to many and who have programs that help micro, small, and medium enterprises through its Mentor Me Award. 

Apart from the recognitions, Go Negosyo launched its 10th book entitled: Go Negosyo: Joey Concepcion’s 50 Inspiring Entrepreneurial Stories (Special 10th Year Anniversary Edition). Go Negosyo also added a number of new champion entrepreneurs who have been making waves in the business industry in the past decade. The foreword was written by entrepreneur icon John Gokongwei Jr., and entrepreneurial lessons from the “Entrep Guru” and angelpreneur Andy Ferreria.

Go Negosyo and I promise to continue with our mission to help move this country forward in becoming an entrepreneurial nation!
