Bizmen’s group vows to help members survive
CEBUANO and Cebu-based businessmen signed a covenant promising to help each other survive the global economic crisis.
Rey Calooy, Filipino Cebuano Business Club, Inc. (FCBI) chairman, said members of the club were helping other members affected by the recession by sharing their finances, resources and services.
Calooy said the 200 FCBI members agreed to help by giving members easy access to funds and government services.
The group's members are mostly from micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME).
He said that right now entrepreneurs and businessmen still remain optimistic even though the crisis is still not over.
“Entrepreneurs must continue to think positively,” added Calooy in yesterday's 2nd general membership meeting of the FCBI.
Senator Mar Roxas, who spoke during the meeting, cited the importance of the MSME sector.
“MSME is the center of the economy,” said Roxas.
While he was working as secretary for the Department of Trade and Industry, Roxas found out that ninety-five percent of the registered business establishments belong to the MSME sector.
Right now that percentage stands at 99.6 percent. /UP Intern Roviel Villa
