The Philippine Embassy, in cooperation with POLO-OWWA, offer entrepreneurship lessons anew under the new program Biznes Courses ng Bayaning Pinoy (BCBP) from November 17 this year.

Venue for the courses will be the Philippine Embassy in Roppongi, Tokyo.

Among the lessons offered are as follows:
Marketing for Busy Pinoys (2~6 PM, November 17)
Accounting for Non-accountants (2~6 PM, November 24)
Investments and Business Frauds (2~6 PM, December 8)
Starting up a business (2~6 PM, December 15)
Computer Lessons for Business Management (Nov. 17~Dec. 15 for a fee of ¥17,000)
Unlad Kabayan Training Program (Nov. 17~Dec. 15 for a fee of ¥17,000)
