But the band is not content to rest on its laurels yet, this is just the beginning.

How To Do Franchising Like the Experts

Everybody dreams of having their own businesses, and the fact is that majority of the businesses in the Philippines are SME based. By definition small is categorized with asset of Php. 3,000,001 to Php. 15,000,001 and having between 10 to 99 employees. On the other hand Medium is classified as Php. 15,000,001 to Php. 100,000,000 with 100 to 199 people. Many agencies be it government, private and NGOs are focused in helping the SMEs. There is always a constant need to nurture this sector, as it will spell a robust economy aside from the creation of employment.

TEN MOVES for Better Education

We know the reality that in our educational system lacks funding that will provide quality education for the youth. The country needs not just hundreds but ten thousands of classrooms that can shelter students and teachers.

Helping others especially our poverty stricken areas which have students in need of decent classrooms.
