Went on a vacation trip to Bicol - Legazpi and Daraga and Misibis Bay Resort

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

There were ten others:  my family:  4 and 6 relatives of wife.  It was financed by daughter and her cousin who came from abroad after a long while for the plane fare and resort expenses.

Some business ideas opportunities:

1.  Benchmarking the features of the resort for landscaping, construction, interior design to improve customer experience.

2.   Room features to be incorporated in sales office and chapel family rooms.

3.  Seminal ideas from Socorro at Sumlang Lake in Camalig, and the Farm Plate at Daraga.
     The ATV racket could be a profitable fenture:   P500/15 minutes.     Ahhhh... 

4.   Farm plate at Daraga for partial development of a steep sloping property.  Reportedly owned by Llaguno.   (Did I have a LLaguno classmate in college?)   Tag:  "Happiest Place in Bicol"  (medyo may overhype)

There has to be an ROI for this pleasure trip





Food was expensive and did not taste good. Main attraction was lighting. We could use this idea for the Pililla property for JV? Consultancy.

What are good businesses?

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Those that are:

1. Unique  those that have no copycats, and are stand outs
2.  Removes pain, and increase gain for the customers
3.  Does not harm people or environment
4.  Puts customers, people, above profit or gain

led by passionate people and those who profess to integrity and values

Value adding is real business: paper shuffling is not

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Many of so called business and livelihood are merely tong pats, and products of speculation.  Ie buy low sell high and does nothing to increase the value of the product for himself and the humanity.  While there are groups that get wealthy onf:  stock and fx trading, crypto, land banking   they dont do much to improve lot of humanity.

Hats off to those:

    1.  Grow food on the farms,
    2   Produce goods:    industrial or retail,
    3.  Treat sick people
    4.  Build and construct homes and building, build roads and bridges
    5.  Produce electricity and water, 
    6.  Transport people and goods.

But I would posit to guess that 50% of businessman makes margin on trade, lending money, 
speculation and the like.   

That is why I left banking and did not try to go into trading goods or currency, financial instruments
