Philippine Business Investors and Entrepreneurship

Tweet I was instructed by the Local Chief Executive to attend a certain investors meeting. We arrived at 3:20 pm on August 3, 2010 at Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in Paseo de Roxas, Makati to attend business meeting with Dr. Federico M. Macaranas-AIM Professor (W.SYCIP Graduate School of Business) with his bankers guest/investor and an affiliate of Silicon Valley, M. Christina R. Laskowski and DOST Balik Scientist Program Awardees, Mr. Denny S. Roja, Esq.

The purpose of our business meeting with them is to present the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) potential of the City of Balanga by presenting the current ICT status of the City. However, the investors are merely looking for young entrepreneurs in the Philippines who have potentials to be a leader of his own nation by committing and sharing his own idea on bio-technology and the likes. This is in line to Balik Scientist Program of DOST which aims to strengthen scientific and technological human resources of academic, public and private institutions to accelerate the flow of technologies and stimulate the development of new or strategically important technologies vital to national development.

However, Dr. Shirley K. Chavez an expert on Information Communication Technology Management of UPLB Information Technology Center extends support for the City on giving ITC Trainings relevant to bio-technology. With me who attended the meeting are Engr. George Sorio-Chairman/President of Cybercity and Metro-Clark-Subic ICT Council, Mr. Danny Fong an investor and alumni of Dela Salle University and Mr. Geoffrey Loyola-IT Consultant on FAB. The meeting was ended at around 5:30 pm on the same day.
