Pampanga MSMEs get free mentoring at Go Negosyo’s ‘3M on Wheels’

MANILA, Philippines — Micro, small, and medium-scale entrepreneurs (MSMEs) in the heart of Central Luzon gathered early at The Event Center of SM City Pampanga in the City of San Fernando last June 8, 2024, for Go Negosyo’s free entrepreneurship mentoring roadshow, “3M on Wheels.”

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

The executive assistant to the governor of Pampanga, Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab, delivered the provincial government of Pampanga’s message of support for the event.

Also at the event was the president of the Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Teresa David-Carlos, who spoke for the business organization of this Central Luzon province.

Content creator William Reyes, proprietor of Baked by Will, gave pointers to the attendees on how to become their own brand influencers.

During 3M on Wheels, active and aspiring entrepreneurs receive one-on-one entrepreneurship guidance from volunteer Go Negosyo mentors who are veteran entrepreneurs and executives.

Lucky attendees are also given free copies of Go Negosyo’s “Eight Success Tips for Small Businesses”.

Also present at the 3M on Wheels event were senior high school students who have become the new mentees for Go Negosyo programs, including Youthpreneur, which the nonprofit group conducts 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 were also available to them at the event.

3M On Wheels promotes the three M’s for successful entrepreneurship — mentorship, money, and market. All three form the foundation of Go Negosyo’s mission of promoting entrepreneurship among Filipinos.

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