Go Supports GoNegosyo

  Towards MSME Development
Former Special Assistant to the President Bong Go fully pledges support to Go Negosyo’s goal of MSME Development. In Go Negosyo’s Mentor Me On Wheels which happened last January 29, 2019 in SM Megamall, Go commits to helping micro entrepreneurs scale up through facilitating ease of doing business.
“Napakalaking tulong itong programang ito (Mentor Me On Wheels) ni PA Joey Concepcion para sa mga maliliit na negosyo at negosyante. Mahalaga para sa akin ang kabuhayan ng ating mga kababayan lalo na ang mga micro, small at medium enterprises. Sinusuportahan ko ang mga kababayan natin na nagnanais na magtayo ng negosyo upang maiangat ang sarili at ang pamilya. I am really honored to speak before you and to be invited here at Mentor Me. Asahan ninyo na patuloy nating susuportahan ang programa ng Go Negosyo. Papalawigin natin ang pagkakaroon ng libreng seminar at training gaya ng adbokasiya ng Go Negosyo.” Former SAP Bong Go highlighted.

Go is a firm supporter of the advocacies of Go Negosyo. Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship added: “The President’s mandate is to support inclusivity most especially the growth of micro and small entrepreneurs. Bong Go is one of the reasons why our programs on entrepreneurship for the past three years has been supported by President Duterte. Basically the private sector and the government partnering together in helping our MSMEs in the Philippines is in the President’s heart towards the success of all. Bong Go serves as an instrument in bringing prioritizing and highlight inclusive growth for entrepreneurs.”
