The first leg of the Go Negosyo’s Mentor Me on Wheels (MMOW) was launched at the Music Hall of the SM Mall of Asia last May 11. MMOW is one of the programs of Go Negosyo to achieve the battle-cry of “Pilipinas Angat Lahat!”

More than 500 aspiring and existing micro and small entreprene­urs registered to join the first and biggest one-on-one negosyo mentoring session. The free event also welcomed walk-in attendees.

Following the successes of the Kapatid Mentor ME Program and Kapatid Agri Mentor ME Program, MMOW is an effort to further expand Go Negosyo’s program reach nationwide, es- pecially to those aspiring and underserve­d entreprene­urs from different areas. The program also provides an avenue for capacity building in realizing President Rodrigo Duterte’s goal of building an inclusive economy where prosperity is felt by all Filipinos.

Attendees experience­d a 30-minute one-on-one mentoring from the pool of 80 successful Go Negosyo Mentors including Presidenti­al Adviser for Entreprene­urship and Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion and Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon Lopez.

“Mentorship is the ultimate way of helping our small entreprene­urs grow,” Concepcion said. He also introduced the mobile applicatio­n which will help “bring mentorship at your fingertips” nationwide. The Mentor Me app will soon be available to all mobile phone users.
