First Lady Louise Araneta Marcos, together with US Ambassador MaryKay Carslson, joined Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion in mentoring five women entrepreneurs. The special mentoring session happened on the sidelines of Go Negosyo’s Women Summit 2023 last March 18 at the Ayala Malls Manila Bay in Parañaque City. Mentorship is one of the key pillars of Go Negosyo’s advocacy for entrepreneurship, along with giving MSMEs access to markets and money, or capital. After the session, the First Lady contributed pandagdag-puhunan to the women entrepreneurs she mentored.

Carlson, Avic Ramos of Lagom Studio, Leah Clara Yabis of Adhika Nature Farm, and Go Negosyo Founder Joey Concepcion.
