3. How
Started
Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship (PCE)
After being appointed in 2005 by President
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as the Presidential
Consultant for Entrepreneurship, Joey
Concepcion envisioned a movement that
would advocate for a positive and enterprising
attitude among Filipinos -- a mindset that would
help them move up in life. With the help of likeminded trustees, Go Negosyo was born.
Since its conception, Go Negosyo went on to
forge partnerships not only with business
corporations and entrepreneurs but also with
academic institutions, non-government
organizations (including business chambers and
professional organizations), microfinance
institutions, government agencies, and local
government units.
Creating linkages with members of both private
and public sectors allowed us to increase
Filipinos' access to a negosyo support system,
and facilitate a nationwide movement.
a non-stock, non-profit organization that advocates for a change
in MINDSET and ATTITUDE
“We believe that Filipinos can address poverty in the
country by engaging in entrepreneurship and developing
an optimistic, passionate, creative and innovative,
resourceful, diligent and persevering character. We
encourage everyone to take charge and make the most of
their resources and abilities by utilizing and transforming
these into viable enterprises.
Go Negosyo hopes to demystify entrepreneurial success
and popularize entrepreneurship as an alternative to
unemployment, job-seeking or migration. We are a
partner in improving entrepreneurship education, and in
providing a marketplace of ideas, innovations, business
models and best practices. In short, we aim to catalyze the
development of entrepreneurship in the country. An
entrepreneurial culture would lead to an entrepreneurial
nation and, consequently, to improved economy for the
country.”

4. The
Dream
We want to create an entrepreneurial
climate for the Philippines: one that
would lead to a country of enterprising
and progressive Filipinos who are
optimistic and empowered, and who
don't rely on dole-outs and are in control
of their destinies. We hope to forge a
country of smart, innovative and valueadding entrepreneurs by inspiring and
by teaching.
Our motto has always been to "teach a
nation how to fish, feed the nation
many lifetimes". The statement
represents the collective effort of all our
partners to foster a culture of enterprise
and promote innovation and the best
business practices in the country.
Caravans and Summits serve as Go
Negosyo’s venue to inspire attitude
change, to present entrepreneurship
as an attainable career choice and
means of living, and to teach basic
concepts in starting and running a
successful business. Held for one day,
Caravans and Summits are free of
charge and open to all individuals who
want to start their own business.
