Before the Spaniards came to the Philippines and introduced the
concept of currency to our ancestors, our society is already prospering because
of bartering. Our country is even trading internationally via the Silk Road.
Our nation already has striving business before we even knew the word business.

In today’s modern society where the internet is now a tool
for marketing and selling, it is difficult to operate a business because there
are many requirements in applying and registering it. Also, owning a business
is risky. There is no guarantee that the business will prosper. The micro businesses
are also affected by the bigger businesses that might take over the general
market scene.
This is where the Alab Buhay Party list comes in. It is also
a foundation that helps assist would-be micro businesses to start up. Alab
Buhay also provides training for aspiring business owners. The good thing about
having a foundation dedicated to micro business is to orient the young ones and
inspire them to venture into business.
According to Alay Buhay Partylist representative, Mr.
Michael Fermin, the foundation/partylist will connect the micron businesses. Now,
that there’s the internet, it will be easier to market. Mr. Fermin adds it is
also mandatory for e-commerce to be taxed because it will also help the
country.
The Filipinos are not just meant to be employees but also entrepreneurs.
This is how our ancestors done it and it will work. You shouldn’t fear the
bigger companies because micro businesses tie up with the bigger market.
I didn’t say you should vote for the candidates I feature in
my blog but this will help to know them more before deciding who to vote. The
partylist allows three representatives in a session and the other two representatives
of Alay Buhay will soon be revealed. Watch out for more updates from Alay Buhay by
tuning in to this blog.
