Note: With this article, The SUN embarks on a series of articles to encourage OFWs to aspire and prepare themselves to start a business back home, not just to make better use of their savings but also improve their lives as they create jobs back home and, in the process, help push economic development in the country.
Do you want to start a business in the Philippines?
First, you start learning how, so as to avoid the pitfals
and mistakes that have caused failure for many who plunged into the challenge
unprepared.
The Philippine government’s Philippine Trade Training Center’s
Global MSME Academy (PTTC-GMEA) - the training arm of the Department of Trade and Industry - has lined
up low-cost courses that aim to teach the basics of running a business, such as
accounting, to increase the chances of them succeeding.

Even OFWs in Hong Kong can join because most of the courses
are livestreamed online, allowing trainors to interact with the trainees who
can be anywhere in ther world.
During the International Food Exhibition (IFEX) Philippines
at the World Trade Center Manila last May 10-12, for example, the Center for
International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM) and the PTTC-GMEA presented free sample seminars
to fair-goers.
The seminars were entitled Reinventing the Fresh Tuba
Culture to Connect with Global Markets, Exporting Food Products to the European
Union, and Understanding the Importance of Intellectual Property Policies.
