Showcasing the best of Centralian entrepreneurship

Art Park+s exhibit at Festive Walk encourages grassroots love for the arts.

Advert 427 (Exhibitor, Planning and Management) under Dr. Lenny Rose P. Mucho, Director of the Review, Continuing Education and Consultancy Center and faculty of the College of Business and Management, recently conducted two events that showcased the merging of entrepreneurial skills and community social responsibility. Divided into two groups, the class held two separate events: an Entrep Week entitled, “Paradigm: Blazing the Entrepreneurial Spirit” held at the CPU Half Moon and the “Art Park,” held at the Festive Walk in Megaworld Iloilo.

From March 5-9, 2018, the Entrep Week invited small scale and kiosk business owners to showcase their products and services. It also featured Centralian artists that serenaded Centralians from 4 PM onwards at the Half Moon Drive. Rae Marie G. Leong-on, 3rd year BSEM, shared that one of the goals of their activity was to connect local entrepreneurs and promote their products to Centralians. “Our preparation took three months. We really want to connect with our local entrepreneurs and to give their products a chance to be known by Centralians and other markets as well.”

Riego Garcia. The said event was held on March 13, 2018 at the Educational Media Center.

“Art Park,” on the other hand, held an art exhibit and lifestyle bazaar, spoken word poetry, music jam, and a fun run from February 14-18, 2018.

According to Dr. Mucho, the goal of the activity was for the students to gain hands-on experience on handling entrepreneurial roles before graduation. “Both activities were very well attended. The goal really is for them to know how to interact with people as future entrepreneurs, to get sponsors, and to negotiate. The activity also aims to develop their confidence and expose them to this kind of work.
