Last Jan. 29, former Special Assistant to the President Bong Go participated in the 14th roll-out of Mentor Me On Wheels and fully pledged support to Go Negosyo and our goal of micro, small and medium enterprise development, which happened at SM Megamall. He also commits to helping microentrepreneurs scale up through various programs that would ease business processes.

The mentoring session was also historical as two of the biggest franchise organizations in the country — the Philippine Franchise Association and Association of Filipino Franchisers Inc. — joined forces in guiding our mentees. We had over 100 franchise owners last Tuesday, who mentored more than 600 mentees in one day.

This year we are targeting more cities and municipalities across the country to mentor aspiring and existing micro and small entrepreneurs through our different mentorship programs such as the Kapatid Mentor Me Program, Kapatid Agri Mentor Me Program and Mentor Me On Wheels.

I’m glad to share with you some of the highlights of our event.
