Overseas Filipino Workers or OFWs are known as our “lipon ng mga bagong bayani.” With the continuing pressures of earning a living for Filipino families, “The 1st OFW and Family Summit 2011” will be launched on November 24 by the Villar Foundation, the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship (PCE), Inc. and Go Negosyo. Its theme is, “Kabuhayan Para sa Kinabukasan,” which aims to entice business minds into the OFWs. Where is the venue? This event is happening at the World Trade Center.
Aside from the exhibits and stalls, other goals of the summit would be to endear training and education to the OFWs on what it takes to start their own forms of businesses, whether small or big.
Topics on that day can be: the basics on business, shaping business minds and skills allied for them and their families needs. These OFWs can either start on distributing products or directly selling products then advance in progress in being a franchisee on the type of business of their choice. Everything of these will be tackled in the summit by guest speakers and presenters, who are experts in the business world.
According to Mrs. Villar, encouraging smart investments should be the key to protecting as well as multiplying these OFWs hard earned money. To which, Mr. Concepcion of Go Negosyo agreed by saying that the summit should support the OFWs plans on securing their children’s education and basic needs.
A house and lot by Camella will be raffled to a lucky OFW, who can present a valid proof of profession. Help our OFWs today in enriching their lifestyles and share their success.
