Negosyo Atbp and Ating Alamin

I have previously written about the television shows Masigasig and Go Negosyo. I'd like to tell you of two more shows which also showcase livelihood opportunities. I'm talking about Negosyo Atbp shown at NBN 4 every Saturday and Sunday at 11 am to 12 noon, and Ating Alamin shown at IBC Channel 13 every Sunday at 1 to 2 pm.

Negosyo Atbp is actually a television-magazine production on technology and livelihood promotion by the Technology Resource Center (TRC). The show is now on its 3rd season and is actually patterned after shows like Negosyete and Agrisyete in the 80s and the 90s. It offers a wide variety livelihood and investment opportunities to a wide variety of audience, certainly things that the common Filipino are craviing for.

Ating Alamin is of course the long running television show of Gerry Geronimo which also offers a lot of livelihood ideas with clear bias on agribusiness. These opportunities are explained in full detail by people who are already into, in fact, already successful in the business. You can learn so much from the show.

Masigasig, Go Negosyo on TV

For people trying to start their own businesses, I suggest you set an alarm in your cellphones to sound at 6:30 pm of every Saturday to remind you of Masigasig, a television show on entrepreneurship at QTV Channel 11. The show, sponsored by Globe, provides advice from leading business experts, money-make overs, and the latest on Globe products and services. Not sure, but I think the show is sometimes hosted by Arnel Ignacio, sometimes by Jolina Magdangal, both entrepreneurs themselves.

Although I haven't watched the show at full length, I have seen some pretty interesting stuff so far. I remember one segment about an upcoming meat-processing business in Pampanga named "Royal Deli". The owner/entrepreneur who wanted to enter the Metro Manila market got some useful advice from the owner (I think) of Mekeni Food Corporation, a more accomplished meat-processing company also from Pampanga. That's something considering they are to certain extent competitors.

Another segment I remember was the one on Fruits in Ice Cream, a company which has set its eyes at producing ice cream for such discriminating markets like Japan. And the people behind a company, a small group who knows exactly what they are doing, have been successful so far. They now supply ice cream for Japan Airlines, really good models for new entrepreneurs.

Of course, you should also take note of the Joey Concepcion's Go Negosyo television show which runs from 11:00 to 11:30 pm every Monday and replays at 3:00 to 3:30 pm every Saturday at RPN 9. The show also showcases very inspiring stories of the most successful entrepreneurs in our country. Happy watching, happy learning.
