Monday, February 25, 2008 Davao City's first business center By Rhodamae M. Hernandez
TWELVE years after working as branch manager of a company he was in, Johannz George Salopaso Peñaflor gave up his job and concentrated on his own business.
Peñaflor now owns and manages Mindanao Business and Training Center, which he claimed to be a one-stop destination for all business requirements, offering Triple C -- convenience, comfort and connection.
"I came up with the idea after years of experiencing problems like looking for a place that has Internet access. Usahay daghan ug students in these places, kaya samok pud while working," Peñaflor told Sun.Star Davao.
The center, which he described as the first in Davao City, provides convenience by offering every requisite of daily work routine right in one roof.
"This place is also good for young professionals, all they have to do is to move in. Besides, ma-forecast pa nila ang monthly overhead nila kasi complete na ang mga kailangan nila," Peñaflor said.
The establishment also offers efficient secretarial services to facilitate office operations, exclusive office space, individualized mailboxes, trouble-free parking space, reception area for clients, conference room for meetings, and courier services.
The clients can also have airline reservations, Internet connection, local and long distance calls, facsimile services, computer printing, photocopy, typesetting, bookbinding, laminations, and anything that an office needs.
The center also has in-house lawyers for legal services. It is also located right beside a laundry shop so you can drop off laundry while working. Economy but clean hotels are also a stone's throw away from the establishment.
MBTC also caters to the client's desire for maximum comfort by providing a coffee station, snack bar, cozy lounge, a well-lighted and cool and quiet environment that allows log-in long hours without distraction and a "no games" policy for the Internet services.
The center is located at Unit 1, Escobarte Building, Patnubay street in SIR Matina, Davao City and can be reached through 3017798 and telefax number 2972284. Its email address is mindanaobusinesstrainingcenter@yahoo.com.ph.
