While some computer businesses are concerned with looking for potential customers, we were confronted with the problem of looking for suppliers of desktop computers. Sure, we were looking for only three PCs, unlike big companies sourcing for 100 or more PCs. Small fry, so to speak, but that isn’t the point. My concern is this: why was it very difficult to look for a person who could assemble a low-priced PC? A PC Assembly Man, if you will. |

Entrepreneurship is still a buzzword. But as had been pointed out here, and as many new entrepreneurs must have realized, entrepreneurship is not a walk in the park (or to the bank). We spoke with a new entrepreneur, one year immersed into her business, and asked what are the more difficult aspects of starting a business (for the benefit of budding entrepreneurs, you may also want to share your experience when starting your entrepreneurial endeavor; please use the comment section below). |

"The Business in Development (BiD) Challenge Philippines is a business plan competition, which aims to generate new and innovative business ideas that combine poverty reduction and profit. Viable ideas are matched with potential investors." This is the charaterization of the BiD Challenge Philippines, which we came across in a today's newspaper. This project appears to be interesting and helpful, which is the reason why we're writing about it here. |

This early, right before the declaration of August 5, 2009 as a special non-working holiday, the government issued the list of declared holidays for 2010. Good for those who'd want to prepare for their business (and vacation) schedules. The Philippine holidays listed below are under Republic Act 9492 and Proclamation 1841, unless otherwise indicated. National Regular Holidays and Special Non-Working Holidays (unless indicated as a special non-working holiday, these are regular holidays): |

When MyOffice was listed at the Directory, I noticed the name Milette Carlos. I remembered reading about Millette in a 2007 issue of a magazine, about mothers who run their business while running their homes smoothly at the same time. The article reveals that Milette Carlos started MyOffice in 2004 with her sister. So within hours after the MyOffice entry appeared in the Directory, we got in touch with Milette and asked her if she's amenable to a discussion, just like the previous discussion with Pinoy Entrepreneurs. Milette, who is the Managing Director of MyOffice, graciously agreed. |

Late last year, a new law was passed creating a centralized credit information system, intended to address the need for reliable information concerning the credit standing and track record of borrowers.
