Entrepreneurship part
Most small businesses in the Philippines are started by someone who never took a business course — and most of what closes them is arithmetic nobody did. This course fixes that in three eight-hour workshop blocks. The first starts with the person: what entrepreneurial work actually is, the ten Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies, an honest self-assessment, and an action plan whose steps can be checked. The second turns ideas into one plan with numbers attached — a real community opportunity scan, a feasibility screen, startup / operating / unit costs, and a price you can defend against a break-even figure. The third is the discipline that keeps a business alive: a single-entry cashbook written the same day, stock and cash kept apart from personal money, the registration sequence (with the habit of confirming current requirements at the agency rather than trusting a remembered figure), named risks with a treatment for each — and then the pitch, defended in front of a panel. Nothing that goes stale between cohorts is taught as fact; peso figures appear only inside worked arithmetic.

Open Tasks →Learning outcomes
- Explain what entrepreneurial work involves and why micro-enterprise matters in the learner's own community.
- Assess their own Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies honestly and write an action plan with steps that can be checked.
- Generate business opportunities from a first-hand community scan and screen them with a feasibility matrix.
- Produce a simple business plan carrying startup, operating and unit costs, a defensible price, and a break-even figure.
- Keep a single-entry cashbook, separate business cash and stock from personal money, and sequence the registration steps — confirming current requirements with the agency itself.
- Name financial, operational and market risks with a treatment for each, then pitch the plan in three minutes and defend it before a panel.
What you will learn
Entrepreneurship in Practice & the Ten PECs
What an entrepreneur actually does day to day, why micro-enterprise matters in the learner's own barangay, and the ten Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies that separate a business that runs from one that stalls.
Honest Self-Assessment & an Action Plan You Can Check
Rating your own competencies without flattering yourself, seeing how a competency turns into a business result, and writing two or three development actions specific enough that someone else could verify you did them.
Where Opportunities Come From — and Scanning Your Own Community
Opportunity sources — unmet needs, what runs out, what people travel far for — and a first-hand scan of a real place at real hours, talking to real people rather than guessing from a desk.
Feasibility, the Simple Business Plan, Costing & Pricing
Screening many ideas down to one with a feasibility matrix, then the simple plan: startup costs, monthly operating costs, unit cost per item sold, a price you can defend against what is already charged nearby, and the break-even that says how many you must sell.
Records, Stock, Cash Handling & Registration
The single-entry cashbook written the same day, keeping business money apart from personal money and recording every withdrawal, stock control — and the registration sequence (DTI or SEC, barangay, mayor's permit, BIR), with BMBE under RA 9178 as a question to ask and current requirements confirmed at the office.
Naming Risks, the Three-Minute Pitch & the Defence
Financial, operational and market risks each answered with avoid, reduce, transfer or accept — then the integrated capstone: problem, offer, market, numbers, risks and ask in three minutes, defended with evidence, arithmetic, or an honest plan to find out.
