Search for 2011 MVP Bossings launched

CEBU, Philippines - PLDT SME Nation opens the nominations for the 2011 MVP Bossing Awards and will close on September 30. It seeks to recognize the country’s leading entrepreneurs – those who continuously work hard by tapping skill, talent and technology in order to succeed in their respective business ventures. This program aims as well to recognize and promote success stories and inspire others to become entrepreneurs.

With this year’s theme “Heroes of Business and Filipino Pride,” PLDT is inviting SMEs to nominate PinoyBossings (bosses) who exhibit an enterprising spirit and share in its mission of innovation and nation building. The contest is open to all entrepreneurial and homegrown Filipino businesses, operating for at least five years.

By becoming one of the 2012 Bossings (the year the winners will be awarded), these bosses will join a prestigious roster of individuals hailed as examples of business success in various fields. Winners will also be featured in a 12-month multimedia campaign that will give more exposure for their business or product; will receive a Kenneth Cobonpue-designed trophy; and will be honored in a prestigious awards night on October 26, 2011. As for the Grand MVP Bossing Awardee, he/she will receive an additional P100,000 cash donation to his/her charity of choice.
