SOUR TRIP..Ma Elena lyn Perez < a scam, identity theft?>

 WARNING:

I got several of these all ready. This is a scam.  Beware.  The people who should be sending this, must be nailed on the cross, if it is still allowed.


I'm writing this with tears in my eyes,my family and I came down here to Manila Philippines for a short vacation unfortunately we got mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed,all cash,credit card and cell were stolen off us but luckily for us we still have our passports with us.

We've been to the embassy and the police here but they're not helping issues at all and our flight leaves in few hours from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills.

I'm freaked out at the moment and I need your urgent help.

<Where do I send the money?  You are even afraid to put the address here.  Elena, are you abroad?  Check you email, it may have been hacked or there is an identity theft completed?>

Closing Ceremonies for the Entrep Classes

AGSB campuses at Rockwell and H de la Costa, March 2013



For the last day of the Entrep class, students were asked to deliver speeches about the class.  For the Spentrep, JP Molina, Cams de la Cruz and  Joseph Cunanan delivered the final words for the class.  Joseph Cunanan,  a Manager at JP Morgan is a Middle Management student who cross enrolled with the Standard Program students.  He said he was glad he took the Entrep class and enjoyed the company of the young students.  He admired the professionalism of the professor who was always ontime and very much prepared in all the sessions.

For the MBAH program last day last Saturday, March 23, 2013, those who said the valedictory remarks were Dr. Lala Miranda and Yen Pangan.  Everybody was in a hurry because it was past 5.

As the final event, the Song Mary, the Graduation song of Ateneo was sung.  It was sort and poignant that it was the last day of class;  especially as I shook their hands as the Song for Mary was sung.  The students move on... and how we wish the academic exercises could have been longer.  Sort of you were not able to bring out the very best.... more things could have been taught. 

Just praying that we helped shape more Masters in Business who will shape a brighter future for the country.

Nelly See of Pinkbox doesnt need to enroll at ME!

Room 210 APS building, Rockwell Center, Makati City March 2013

                                    Nelly See at Anjanette birthday bash

Her not so small business is Pinkbox One of her babies

 Nelly See did not have a lecture or a presentation.  But she spoke spontaneously from the heart, and which deeply reflect her love for her business and deep personal mastery of the business.  Nelly See's story is very electrifying and inspiring to entrepreneur wanna bees especially to mom who are bored with staying in the house waiting for their husbands to come home. And "hatid sundo to her children"

She had 4 kids and was having post partum depression and her husband wanted her to do something.  She upon egging of her husband attended seminars and joined SunLife as financial advisor to sell financial instruments.  She was good at it and eventually got bored too.

Her turning point in her life came when by mistake (due to miscommunication) after her trip to China with her husband (who is an indentor) she had P762,000 worth of hair accessories  (she only wanted several pieces for her children).  Out of desperation, she had to dispose off these merchandise and even had to look for warehouse (her father who is into manufacturing) to store the containerful of hair pins and hair accessories.  All she wanted to do was to sell the stuff and then close down the business. (she later changed her mind when she heard the cash register!

Immediately she did the following:

l.  Looked for a kiosk in Ayala Mall

2.  Had a brand name:  Pinkbox

3.  Think of ways on how to dispose her hair pins and other hair accessories.

She did find a kiosk and although the rent was astronomic:  P85,000 in November l, P100,000 in Christmas and back to P85,000.00 afterwards.   Her sales girl was her maid;  she sold P81,000 on November l, 2002.

The rest is history:  she even when into franchising.  She has 30 company owned stores either at Robinson or SM or Ayala and 40 franchise.  She had gone a long way from just being a housewife.  Thus when she said that she is going to enroll at ME, I said maybe there is no need.  She has done more than enough to show that she is blue true grit entrepreneur.   The ME diploma can not fully capture what she has done.  Not many can follow her footsteps.  She did great.

Some of the insights:

l.  Some of the best people you have may not have a degree or are within the organization  Her GM before was in operations, and a second year engineering student.  But she did great as a GM

2.  You really have to think of something new for the business every day.

3.  You never ever give up.  Giving up is not an option.

4.  Attending seminars like that in CCE exposed her to many practitioners in retail. 

5.  Build leaders within your organization.  Be sure you and your people are on the same boat.

6.  Never take no for an answer.  Whenever her supplier says that her design is not possible, she says it is bad bad bad.

Others:

l.  Most sought design in PHL is butterfly, second is flower

2.  In China you have good and bad suppliers:  but the good supplier have Class A, B, C and they will provide what you want.

3.  Guandong is a retail center.  But you can buy bulk and cheap in  Yiwu.

NELLY SEE, FROM MOM TO RETAIL TYCOON! Simply Amazing.

I am sure, many moms in the class changed their outlook after her speech. All things are possible.

Dr Gary Bunagan - Great Eye Practice, Great Organic Green Coffee Bean

Room 210, APS Building, Rockwell Center, Makati City



Dr. Gary Bunagan is an eye doctor who practices in Saint Luke Medical Center, friend of Dra Tamayo and acquaintance of  Dr. Apple. He studied at Ateneo de Davao.   He hails from Davao City and at the same time, a part time organic green coffee bean entrepreneur.  They have outlets at St Lukes Medical Center, H2 hotel, Bureau of Immigration and Perpetual Help Hospital (c/o Arnyt Tamayo).

His entrepreneurship activities include:   group practice in eye practice which enables him/the group to practice optha even though they are in the province or USA,  the organic coffee with spa, the development of cacao business in San Isidro, the cacao capital of Mindano Davao Oriental that led to eventual export abroad.  His interest is in CSI (Chocolate de San Isidro)  The southern Mindanao production of  5,000 metric tons (half of that coming from San Isidro) is barely enough to keep up with the domestic  demand of 40,000 metric tons.  

Coffee and cacao grow well in the PHL, they do not grow in temperate countries. 

Coffee, especially green coffee is useful in combatting high blood pressure and contains plenty of phytonutrients for long life.  Theobromine in dark chocolate is great in fat reduction and staying fit.

His theory of entrepreneurship is that of convergence of PASSION and DEMAND. (Similar to good to great:   Passion, where you are good at and economic engine: and the 3K:   KAYA BA, KATUGMA BA, KIKITA BA?

He came across the organic green coffee bean while in specialty training abroad.  He thought about this, and educating himself through books:    "52 Rules of Thumb"  "Start Up 101"
they came up with the one page plan:

l.  Save the environment;
2.  Serve the best quality coffee;
3.  Healthy diet,
4.  Coummunity employment
5.  Social responsibility

Some entrep advice:

l. "Start small, dream big"
2.  Small operating cost for selling coffee (because of small ordering size)
3.  What is next:   "What is new?, improve skills and products, stay alert and focusse"
4.  Aim high, nothing is impossible.
