PinoySME_FINAL_LOGO
Here's an interesting event if you want to learn on having a business and also how to manage it, and be an entrepreneur. I saw that they have a free training for basic photography and basic hilot, I might try it if ever my schedule is flexy.

Our Development Week, DTI Sec. Gregory L. Domingo announced a free entrepreneurship training program to everyone on July 8-9, 2011 at the PTC or Philippine Traning Center. This program will drive to encourage our fellow pinoys to participate in the SME sector and call to action "Pinoy SME: Business Tayo!"
