As you read this letter, I encourage you to reflect on how you can take part in this VISION we are setting in the University together with my fellow business students from UP, ATENEO, DLSU, FEU, PUP, UA&P, UE and NEU. We believe that base on the principles of Production Operation we can make the operation of companies more efficient while gearing their businesses towards Corporate Social Responsibility by partnering with Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This is the idea of Supply Chain Management. Visit
http://www.cdbn.org. There is a growing trend for businesses to decentralize its operation. We see NGOs can support SMEs and earn to finance their projects in their community. We are to position CDBN.org (Centralized and Decentralized Business Network), as the only Philippines Value Logistic Company that caters to the SME market that is a large market whose potential is not yet been fully tapped.
This project is inspired by the output of the APEC Future Leaders Forum, which I have been a participant. This involves catering to SMEs because of its potential in nation building.

The training was initiated by Mr. Josiah Go of Mansmith Fielders Inc. and Mr. Diosdado "Ding" Salvador former J&J President, Asia Pacific. It changed the way I perceive things and made me more determined in doing more for our country.
