Go Negosyo, DTI-Mentored Enteps in Iloilo

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Most probinsyanos have so many disadvantages in so many things. So, normally the next thing you'll do is to work harder because you have to compensate for the things that you're not familiar with, the things that you don't know much about. So I think that's one trait that if you have so much disadvantage stuck on you, against you, you'll tend to exert more effort. If you recognized that, then it will become your advantage."

Double Dragon President and CEO and Founder of Mang Inasal Edgar “Injap” Sia II inspired his kababayans through his message in the 19th rollout of Go Negosyo’s Mentor Me On Wheels at the Northpoint Event Center, SM City Iloilo last June 21, 2019.

In his message, he added: “You can start small and if you plan properly and you work hard to execute your plans, it's still possible for you to grow to a certain size and successfully compete in a nationwide scale just like how we did our business. So I think, to all of my kababayans, you just have to really carefully study whatever you want to achieve and then once you've studied the industry, the terrain, you have to execute passionately, and to really work hard. It's not optional for you to have some sacrifices, that's your contribution to be able to reach your goal to grow the business. For me, it is the inspiration that it’s possible for a probinsyano, like me, to start small and grow."

Go Negosyo in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and through the help of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Council (MSMED) brought the free mentorship to the City of Love which catered more than 400 and was mentored by 50 mentors.
