The 2-day exhibit showcased how private corporations and development organizations operate in the value chain to bring microentreprenuers into the mainstream market. It highlighted new dimensions of People Power which were fostered by former Pres. Cory Aquino – how it has contributed to scaling up microentrepreneurship in the country and how it plans to give a fresh perspective to the movement and further pursue its founder’s vision.
