Kapatid Mentor ME Program Second Run in Panabo City

Department of Trade and Industry - Davao del Norte Provincial Office, in partnership with the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship (PCE) and Go Negosyo, has just finished the Second Run of the Kapatid Mentor Me (KMMe) Program held at Miko's Brew, Apokon, Tagum City, Davao del Norte on October 06, 2017.

The mentees surprised me with their pa-tarp and pa-cake! Thank you so much mga alaga! This is priceless! đź’š


The program was officially launched last July 18, 2017, in Panabo City, and was attended by a total of 105 participants; 26 of which were then identified to be this run's participants - or mentees, who want to widen their knowledge about business management and operations, as well as promote their products and build entrepreneurial relationships.

Where's the road to becoming a millionaire? There!

The rollout and launching ceremony started with Modules 1 and 2, Entrepreneurial Mindsetting and Marketing, respectively, which were taught by "Angelpreneurs" - those who are willing to invest in a startup business, Mr. Pocholo Soliven, President/CEO of Soliventures Phils, Inc. and Ms. Sandra Montano, First ASEAN Woman Awardee, who both instilled entrepreneurial values as well as introduced different ways of marketing to the attendees.

Successful launch! :)
