Tuesday, July 10, 2007 Editorial: Go Negosyo and E-jeeps
BACOLOD will have two important things to host this coming Friday. These are the Go Negosyo caravan and the signing of a memorandum of agreement between the City Government and Greenpeace International on E-jeeps (electronic jeepneys).
Both are expected to bring goodwill to the people of Bacolod and Negros Occidental, too. That’s why no less than President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will witness the two significant events here.
Go Negosyo caravan, a project of Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship (PCE) is aimed at drumming up the interest of Negrenses and Bacoleños in the field of entrepreneurship. E-jeeps, on the other hand, is meant to eliminate air pollution caused by smoke belching by vehicles using gasoline or diesel.
Analyzing both, Go Negosyo is really a big help to all Negrenses and Bacoleños who want to venture into entrepreneurship.
At least, they will be equipped of ample knowledge and guts to start any business so they make them self-reliant or a boss of their own business.
Here in Negros, there’s a lot of resources and there are a lot of people who have personal savings. However, some are afraid to venture and risk their savings in putting up any business.
But with Go Negosyo caravan, hope that more Negrenses and Bacoleños will be inclined to start their every business and be successful in the future.
Thanks to Mr. Jose Concepcion, Jr., presidential consultant on entrepreneurship, for having this Go Negosyo as brainchild aimed at helping everyone to be real businessman in the country.
Meanwhile, E-jeeps are also expected to help Negrense and Bacolood motorists especially those who are only renting (pasada) everyday to have a lower daily rental for their every unit.
Instead of renting for P600 to P800 daily plus expenses on gasoline, drivers now may have a little burden to carry with E-jeeps because the expenses they will be incurred is only on battery charging .
E-jeeps are also considered to be an environment-friendly vehicles that will make our Mother Earth more and more happy nowadays. So to all Negrenses and Bacoleños, welcome both with open arms and hope for a better tomorrow.
