Today, we remember and celebrate the birthday of David Abrenilla, the man who built PHILSME from the ground up.

He would have been 46 today.

David did not just organize events. He built spaces where Filipino entrepreneurs could be seen, find partners, and move forward.

What started in 2013 grew into a community that continues to serve thousands of Filipino business owners to this day.

That room still stands. And it always will.

Happy Birthday, Sir David. Your work lives on in every connection made, every business grown, and every entrepreneur who walks through the doors of what you built.

What does working overseas teach you about building a business?

For the speakers of The Overseas Filipino Advantage, working abroad gave them more than income and experience.

It taught them to:
→ Plan beyond the paycheck
→ Save with a purpose
→ Learn from different markets
→ Adapt when things change
→ Turn experience into opportunity

But the conversation also raised a bigger question:

What if more Filipinos turned their overseas experience into their own businesses?

During the panel, Joseph Francia shared that only 6 to 11% of the ₱2 trillion in annual remittances he cited gets invested in businesses.

His hope was simple:

“Para tayo naman ay maging employer din.”

The panel brought together Capt. Marlon Cataquis, Karl De Guzman, Nico De Guzman, Trixie Esguerra-Abrenilla, and Joseph Francia to share lessons shaped by working, leading, and building across borders.

Most B2B sellers are stuck doing this:

→ Cold DMs, one by one
→ Pitching in comment sections
→ Waiting to get tagged in a group post
→ Hoping the algorithm finds the right buyer
→ Competing in the same crowded feed

It works. It's just slow.

Here's the faster way. Show up where they're already looking for what you offer.

Before You Buy That Vehicle

Consider what that capital could do for your business instead.

At the 17th PHILSME Business Expo, John Marvin Casin of Toyota Mobility Solutions Philippines shared how Kinto One gives SMEs another option for their business mobility needs.

Instead of buying a vehicle or taking out a traditional loan, businesses can subscribe to a brand-new Toyota for 3 to 5 years.

The subscription includes:

→ Full PMS
→ Normal wear-and-tear replacement
→ Comprehensive insurance
→ LTO registration and renewal

There’s no down payment. Instead, a refundable security deposit applies.

For SMEs, that means capital that could have gone toward purchasing vehicles can instead be used for inventory, technology, manpower, or expansion.

How does the subscription work, and how is the security deposit calculated?

Every Filipino business owner has a problem they can see but refuse to say out loud.

Francis Kong calls that silence the most expensive habit in business.

Not because the problem gets bigger.

But because the people around you are already feeling it.

Your team. Your partners. Your customers.

They know something is wrong.

They're waiting for you to say it first.

And every day you don't, the distance grows.

"Silence, while polite, is rarely productive."

Francis Kong has delivered over 250 talks a year for more than two decades.

He has sat across the table from business owners at every stage.

And the pattern he sees most often is not a strategy problem.

It's a courage problem.

The courage to say what needs to be said. To the right person. At the right time. Before it becomes a crisis.

His full perspective is inside the first issue of the PHILSME Business Magazine.

It's the kind of insight every Filipino business owner needs to read.
