GMA Network CEO pushes for entrepreneurship

GMA Network’s Chairman and CEO Felipe L. Gozon believes that it is high time the young generation be oriented towards entrepreneurship.

“Part of our mindset and training is to become professionals and work for big companies as employees or managers. We should change that and develop the entrepreneurship orientation among young people,” Gozon says. “Even our schools need to train the students to become future entrepreneurs.”

Gozon underscored the need for more entrepreneurs to help boost the country’s economy. He said that in starting up a business, people do not need a lot of money or capital. “If you study the stories of successful businessmen in our country, most of them started small, but look at where they are now,” Gozon says.

To help encourage more people to become entrepreneurs, GMA Network has partnered with Joey Concepcion’s Go Negosyo for the biggest women entrepreneurship summit and expo dubbed, “Babae: Kapuso Ka ng Bayan.”

Gozon says that women are very capable of becoming successful entrepreneurs. “Women know the importance of taking care of the family. Running a business is in a way like running a home, you need to pay attention to a lot of details,” Gozon concludes.
