TALISAY CITY: 1ST ENTREPRENEURIAL SUMMIT

Talisay City held its 1st Entrepreneurial Summit at Talisay City Sports and Recreational Center, Talisay City.

I was honored to be one of the three Speakers to address a little less than 500 participants recently trained  by the City of Talisay under the City Cooperative Office in cooperation with the Department of Trade and Industry Office.

Mayor Eric Saratan delivered her inspirational message to  the participants who were trained in various livelihood skills like soap making, candle making, beads and jewelry making, bamboo and shell crafts and many more. Mayor Saratan promised to put up a showroom for the participants wherein they can showcase and sell their products.

I also gave a talk on how Jojo Vito Designs Gallery Started and how do we survive with the challenges of the business. Mayor Saratan immediately reacted to my talk seeing the opportunity for some participants being my future sub-contractors and mentioning also some future collaborations we can do for the City. I was very excited considering that Jojo Vito Designs Gallery Workshop will be formally having  the 80% of our production in Talisay in my humble shop recently put up in the city.  Of course, being one of the Officers of the Association of Negros Producers  (ANP), I also challenged the participants to develop their products further and be a member of  ANP soon.

With the effort  and enthusiasm  given by local government units like the City of Talisay, I am pretty excited that more entrepreneurs will be raised in the countryside resulting in more job opportunities for the people in the community. Congratulations Talisay City, JOB WELL DONE!

Special Thanks to my good friend Ella Mae Javie and Cooperative Officer Ms. Rosalinda Tuvilla.
