All system goes for Yaman Gensan 2015

GENERAL SANTOS CITY (20 June 2015) – Officers of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Council (SMEDC) of General Santos City affirmed in a press conference Monday (June 15) that they are ready for the 13th Yaman Gensan celebration.
SMEDC president Rosanna Contreras said this year’s Yaman Gensan will focus on the development of small cooperatives as the major drivers of the city’s economy.
She emphasizes that the city government, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and SMEDC will encourage the micro, small, and medium enterprises and cooperatives in the city to participate in Yaman Gensan.
This year’s theme, “Unleashing the potentials of MSME’s,” aims to give interested entrepreneurs an opportunity to attend seminars and skills trainings such as Practical Money Management and Investment Strategies, Strengthening Organizational Citizenship, and Social Entrepreneurship
Various conferences and fairs will also be conducted in Yaman Gensan 2015 starting June 18 up to the third week of July.
Entrepreneurs are being encouraged by the SMEDC to come and see these activities to find inspiration for their business.
KCC Convention Center, SM Mall, Greenleaf Hotel and Gaisano Mall will play host to the different Yaman Gensan events.
City Mayor Ronnel Rivera said the city government is actively supporting the thrust of SMEDC to empower the MSMEs in Gensan.
“MSMEs comprise around 97% of the entire business in the city. If we want to strengthen more the economy of the city, then we should support these entrepreneurs in growing their business,” Mayor Rivera said.
“When I sat as the city mayor of Gensan, my original plan was to make Yaman Gensan happen once every two years. But then, I suddenly saw the necessity of it, especially in molding the potentials of our entrepreneurs that is why I decided to conduct it annually,” he emphasized.
Rivera said that he is working together with the DTI in order to promote the welfare of the entrepreneurs of the city, as well as those who aspire to do business.

The mayor citied the newly-opened Negosyo Center at Osmena Street and the implementation of “Bottom-up” projects in the barangays of the city as just some of the supporting projects the city government and DTI have lined up in support of promoting the city’s economic climate (Gensan CPIO/Ian John Lagare).
