That’s why entrepreneurship is such a perfect path for you: it’s about solving problems, creating opportunities, and making life better for many,” Teodoro added.The mayor stressed that true progress must be inclusive and youth-led.”So keep dreaming, keep building, and keep believing in yourselves,” she said. “With Go Negosyo as our partner and with your passion leading the way, there is no doubt that the future of Marikina and the Philippines is in good hands.”
