One businessman suggested that business is non only about economic transactions but about trust

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Economic transaction, buying and selling, having a deal can not proceed without TRUST.   Trust is essential.  Businessmen, entrepreneurs should really build their character and integrity to win TRUST.  GSB and other schools have emphasized skills and knowledge but not character and integrity.   

So the higher the tech or educ attainment, the more likely the guy is to be a scammer.  That is why many are scared of businessmen and entrepreneurs.  Govs are prosecuting businessman.  Many businessman are at the bottom of the respect trust totem pole

What business to avoid - an Arab advises.

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Arabs never buy even if given to them free:

1.   Restaurants;

2.   Hotels

3.   Retail fronts.   

But many are crazy about this   In our place there is boom of these 3 businesses

3 businesses Arabs never invest in

Dr Alfredo Bengzon former VP for Professional Schools Dean of AGSB joins the Lord at age 90

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

We worked with him for over a decade.   His services and leadership will be missed.  Vaya con Dios, Dr Arab.

He led the Faculty Conference for AGSB.  He ate dinner with me one time engaging me in  a deep conversation.  He interviewed me about my current business and made jokes for the plenary regarding me and another who heads a memorial plan company.  Beware if both me and Erniie come together ofering something spectacular.

I remember a lot about him when he made me ahead of everybody else at ER at TMC when I was involved in a bike accident.  He became my attending physician all o f a sudden.  It was of course pro bono   

When my mom was in the ICU and when security shooed us from sleeping  outside the ICU, I complained to him he made sure that we slept albeit on the floor near the ICU.  For him it was not wrong to be malakas esepcially if the malakas is member of the TMC or the AGSB family

I didnt know that he wore the Eagle costume everytime there was UAAP competition

Our sympathies to the family..
