To encourage Cebuanos to engage in
business, KNN (Kapamilya Negosyo Na!) Season 3 was launched Friday, 20
June 2008 at the audio-visual room of the Earnest Hoedermann Law and Business Building.
The program began with a seminar on the building-up of a business plan and
continued with discussions of what it takes to be a thriving entrepreneur,
aired live on DYAB. Ten winners were chosen to receive a seed capital of PhP
10,000 each. College
of Commerce Dean Father Mark Mathias,
SVD and Business Administration Chair Apolonio Dedano, Jr. assigned alumni and
faculty mentors coming to each winner to assist them as they take their first
steps towards success.
KNN Season 3's new feature "Eskuwelahan sa
Kahanginan" uses modular approach, wherein different topics are to be
discussed every month. There will be a question and answer portion to captivate
listener's ear.
Together with Vice
Mayor Michael Rama and Business Entrepreneur Scholarship Training (BEST)
Excutive Director Joni Chan, principals from four night high schools were also
welcomed to witness as USC College of Commerce signed an agreement of support
to the United Multi-Sectoral Coordinating Council of Cebu (UMC4) BEST program.
BEST aims to hone entrepreneurial skills of the
scholars from the four night school students. Business Administration majors
from USC will serve as their teachers. The scholars sell Chan's stocks and save
the profit they have earned. They will also enjoy incentives like free
one-year accidental insurance, uniforms, IDs, bags, medical and dental
services.
KNN is a joint project of DYAB Cebu, ABS-CBN and USC
College of Commerce conceptualized by Devin Go, Dr. Rene Paquibut and Leo
Lastimosa last October 2006.
