Go Negosyo kicks off National Women’s Month celebrations this March as women-led MSMEs take center stage in this year’s Inspiring Filipina Entrepreneur Awards. The awarding will be held during the Go Negosyo Women Summit at the Ayala Malls Manila Bay in Parañaque City this March 15.

The annual award honors outstanding Filipina entrepreneurs for their leadership across various industries and their contribution to economic growth and job creation. Over the years, Go Negosyo has honored over 300 women entrepreneurs and business leaders, including Tessie Sy-Coson, Corazon Dayro-Ong, Robina Gokongwei, and Vivian Que-Azcona. Its most recent awardees of the Inspiring Filipina Entrepreneur Awards include Anna Lagon of BAYO Manila, Czarina Sevilla of Avocadoria PH, Maricar Peñalosa of Ate Rica’s Bacsilog, Anna Magalona of But First Coffee, and Glenda Dela Cruz of Brilliant Skin Essentials.

“These visionary awardees of the Inspiring Filipina Entrepreneur Awards are truly exceptional women who have made a lasting impact through their enterprises,” said Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion, noting how women-led MSMEs account for more than half of these enterprises in the country. “They help create jobs and contribute to an inclusive and sustainable base for the Philippine economy.”

Recipients of the Inspiring Filipina Entrepreneur Award demonstrate passion, positivity, and inspiration; resilience and determination in building innovative and sustainable businesses that have been operational for at least two years.

A panel of judges will select from the shortlisted nominees after deliberations based on a thorough review, analysis, and assessment of each nominee’s profile based on the details provided and compiled by the Awards Secretariat. The winners will be announced during the Go Negosyo Women Summit on March 15, 2025.
