NVCian TO REPRESENT AKLAN IN THE YEP BYOB REGIONAL PITCHING
In a remarkable showcase of entrepreneurial talent and skills, a student from the Northwestern Visayan Colleges emerged as the 2nd runner-up and was awarded Best Presenter in the recently concluded “YEP! You Can Be Your Own Boss” held on August 18, 2023, at City Mall Kalibo, Aklan.
The competition featured Aklanon youth entrepreneurs who demonstrated their innovative business ideas and presentation skills. Among the participants who stood out during the said competition was Ms. Mary Mershe G. Dela Cruz, a 3rd-year Communication and Media Services Technology student under TESDA Diploma Program who captivated the judges with her business concept namely “NUTTI.”
The participants in the event underwent a three-day training organized by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) from August 15 to August 18, 2023. This training aims to equip them with the essential skills and knowledge needed in starting their business.
One of the exciting opportunities that Ms. Dela Cruz earned through her outstanding performance is an invitation to the Regional Pitching Activity scheduled for August 30, 2023.
“The enthusiasm that once fueled my dreams now propels me forward. I know nga bukon eang ra it step nakon, but also a declaration of my commitment to growth, to learning, and to crafting my own path, nga sa bawat hakbang nakon gina eapit nakon ang sarili sa handom nga gin dikit ko sa ang tagipusu’on kat unga pa ako”, proudly shared Dela Cruz on her Facebook post.
The Department of Trade and Industry, in collaboration with the Aklan Provincial Government through the Aklan Provincial Youth Development Office, the Kalibo Local Youth Development Office, and Lsa-Rcef Golden Harvest FARM, organized this remarkable event. Their collective efforts in supporting young talents in Aklan have been instrumental in empowering the youth to pursue their dreams of becoming successful entrepreneurs.
