Some Interesting Stories About the Lipa Regis students

The usual fare of the lst day entrep class is to ask the students to introduce themselves to the professor.  With the hope of eliciting the vision and the passion of the student (which is related to personal mastery) the student is asked to describe himself in terms of "secret desires"

HENRY - an AB Political Science  graduate;  he started dabbling in business right after graduation, like pizza and restaurant - failed, then worked for sister.  Now is a division head of Province of Batangas agency that helps marginalized barangays cope up with lack of resources.  One of the things he sees is to teach these people starting enterprises.  He should have taken up MPA;  but now is happy that he took up MBA in AGSB;  especially this subject.  Wow.

WINNIE -  is an accountant by profession but is in Marketing.  She used to be Luis Vitton as  sales supervisor and works for Digitel as a business center head.  Used to be a Manila girl from College of Holy Spirit;  but is now a dedicated Batanguena, after having married a Batangueno.

IRENE V-  the class muse and secretary;  maybe the mayor of Lipa look alike (in altitude).  She is an entrepreneur, graduated with a course majoring in entrepreneurship and is a professor of entrepreneurship

RICO - is a techie at GSM, is a manager;  he is MS of Chemistry at DLSU.  He owns two businesses and the one that I clarly heard is on piggery.  He plans to increase the sow level.  I commented that we really need to work on this because food security is in great danger.  Rice supply level is low;  China will not export;  Thai rice now costs $600.00/ton, up from $400.00 ton.

GIL -Gil's story about his employer is more interesting.  His employer used to sell toys with free cellphone.  So he found that the customers were more interested in cellphones than toys.  So he offered insurance to the cellphone owners.  But then he ended up with a lot of old and non-working cellphones. So he set up a cellphone reconditioning works, which Gil is managing.  Good ideas generate more livelihood.

JAMES - used t be called Henry.  Maybe to be differentiated from the other Henry, he preferred to be called James (joke) He holds an important job, being a CEO of a UK shipping company.  He deals a lot with seamen (err difficult to pronounce correctly, seafarers)  He is from Cuenca, right near the foot of Mt. Maculot.  He used to do aquaculture but quit the venture/enterprise.










Our generation needs an ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION.
