Entrepreneur Philippines held the second run of its signature event: ‘Entrepreneur Talks’, on July 21, 2015 at Dusit Thani Manila, where readers got a chance to interact with a roster of seasoned entrepreneurs. This leg is for those who are thinking of owning a franchise business as well as current franchise business owners looking to expand to other brands or concepts.

The July issue of Entrepreneur Philippines Magazine presented the six winners of the 2015 Franchise Awards honoring home-grown franchises that have stepped up their game and have shown consistent growth in sales and number of stores for the past three years, including Mineski, Fiorgelato, and Adobo Connection. It also released its Editor’s Choice list highlighting three local brands that have made an impact through bold innovations: EC Gas, VIBES Massage, and BenteSilog.

At the event, the franchise awardees provided expert advice that will help the readers achieve their dreams of business success: Ronald Robins, CEO of Mineski, Richie Cuna, President of Fiorgelato, and Jerome Uy & Meredith Ngo, the Founding Partners & Managing Directors of Adobo Connection. They were later joined in by Jose Carlos Martinez of EC Gas, Dante Tioson of VIBES Massage, and Aiza  Soriano of Bentesilog in a panel that talked about how each company stepped up their game.
