MANILA, Philippines — Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from the heart of Central Luzon gathered early at The Event Center of SM City Pampanga in San Fernando yesterday for the 3M on Wheels – the Go Negosyo free entrepreneurship mentoring roadshow.

Joey Concepcion, Go Negosyo founder, welcomed the attendees via video message, encouraging them to keep powering the engines of the Philippine economy.

Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab, executive assistant to the governor of Pampanga, delivered the provincial government’s message of support for the 3M on Wheels. Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Teresa David-Carlos spoke for the business organizations of the Central Luzon province while content creator William Reyes, proprietor of Baked by Will, gave the attendees pointers on how to become their own brand influencers.

During 3M on Wheels, active and aspiring entrepreneurs receive one-on-one entrepreneurship mentoring by Go Negosyo volunteers comprising veteran entrepreneurs and executives. Lucky attendees were given free copies of Go Negosyo’s “Eight Success Tips for Small Businesses.”

Also present at the 3M on Wheels event in Pampanga were senior high school students who have become the new mentees for Go Negosyo programs, including Youthpreneur, which the non-profit organization conducts together with the Department of Education.

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.

3M On Wheels promotes the three M’s for successful entrepreneurship – Mentorship, Money and Market. The three Ms form the foundation of Go Negosyo’s mission to promote entrepreneurship among Filipinos.

The event was inspired by the growing number of Filipinos turning to entrepreneurship and fills the learning gap in the entrepreneurial journey of active and aspiring entrepreneurs.
