MANILA, Philippines - Bacoor residents may soon realize their dream of becoming their own boss and generating jobs for their fellow locals when they participate in telecom leader PLDT’s free entrepreneurship seminars and a job fair, which will be conducted in partnership with the Bacoor LGU, headed by Mayor Strike Revilla.

The said series of events has been organized by PLDT’s business groups Alpha, SME Nation and KaAsenso as part of the municipality of Bacoor’s campaign for cityhood.

One of the activities featured is a networking lunch, sponsored by PLDT SME Nation, for Bacoor’s small and medium business owners on June 15 at the Bacoor ABC Hall. SME Bossings Darius Hizon and Mon Lopez will deliver talks on Professionalizing a Family Business and Successful Marketing Strategies for SMEs, respectively, during the luncheon meeting.

PLDT KaAsenso, on the other hand, will hold a Minigosyo Seminar for the graduates of the LGU’s livelihood program and micro-entrepreneur members of the Bacoor Chamber of Commerce on June 16 at the Bacoor Coliseum.

Seminar speaker is KaAsenso ambassador Jorge Noel Wieneke III, who is also known as KaAsenso. Wieneke will cover several topics such as The Entrepreneurial Mindset, which helps prepare aspiring entrepreneurs to think and plan strategically, allowing them to effectively sustain and grow their business.
