MANILA, Philippines — Active and aspiring entrepreneurs greeted the Chinese New Year with hopes of prosperity as they trooped to the free MSME mentoring 3M on Wheels last Feb. 10.

Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion and Manila Vice Mayor Yul Servo welcomed the participants and the contingent of mentors as the program got underway for the one-on-one mentoring of the entrepreneurs.

Former senator Bam Aquino, author of the Go Negosyo Act; Mark Lisaca, president of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry-Manila and Usec. Ma. Cristina Roque of the Department of Trade and Industry’s MSME Development Group, gave messages of support for the event, which aims to grow the MSME sector in order to fuel the country’s development.

3M on Wheels is a program of the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship (Go Negosyo). In addition to free one-on-one coaching for active and aspiring entrepreneurs, financing and market solutions are also made available to them at the event.
