A SIA N C ENTURY. PO WERED BY M IC RO S.
NOT ONLYyou, not only them, not only him or her, not only us should
reap the fruits of their, and our labor. That is the true meaning of lahat
tayo dapat, sa pag-asenso. It can be, but can never always be, tayo-
tayo, sila-sila, kami-kami at ikaw o siya ay hindi kasali. It just
cannot be the haves, minus the have-nots. It is not fair, reasonable and
just to entertain only the big, and relegate the small into the misfortunes
of history, like it or not.
This is the first time in the history of newspaper publishing in The
Philippines that an editorial of a business broadsheet is written in the
Filipino language, predominantly Tagalog, but Oh so rich in six, 60 to600 other regional languages and dialects. Some, if not a few, of the
words and phrases from such lingua franca had found its way in the
lexicon of World English, according to Microsoft Encarta. They call it
Filipino-English. Not so many times that an editorial is published on the
front pages of any paper.
This is the first time that an editorial of an English paper is written in
wikang pambansa.
This is the first time that a Philippine broadsheet newspaper, in Manila
or elsewhere across the nation, whether in Cebu, Davao, Baguio, Subic
or Clark in Central Luzon or Southern Tagalog, is publishing a full page
(supposedly, but business prevailed in this Inaugural) or a section dubbed
as Filipinong-Filipino, and not just the Editorial on this front page with
jump or pasa on Page 2.
The publishers and editors of theBUSINESS Paper are, by nature,
groundbreakers, trailblazers, pioneers, selfdrivers, gogetters and
synonymous other adjectives. In one word: entrepreneurial.
theBUSINESS Paper is dedicated to the uplift of the microbiz, the small
and medium enterprises (SMEs), startups and other entrepreneurships.
In short, theBUSINESS Paper shall work for the good, better and best
interest of true and genuine entrepreneurship. Lumikha na po tayo
ngayon ng milyong next na mga young Filipino entrepreneurs namakikipagsabayan sa mga Steve Jobs at Bill Gates at Steven Spielberg at
George Lucas. Ngayon na, now na, as in
theBUSINESS Paper, by the way, will become the first-ever national
and international broadsheet newspaper, with great potentials, on, for
and about the small business who shall become big. The chambers of
commerce are one with us in this advocacy.

OFF THE PRESSFROM 2010 and onwards, the next presidents ofthe Republic of the Philippines will no longer putup with just the countrys Gross NationalProduct, Gross Domestic Product and othereconomic indicators. They will have to put up
with the peoples Gross National Happiness(GNH).
GNH, according to Wikipedia, is an attempt to definequality of life in more holistic and psychological terms
than GNP, GDP, etc .The term was coined by Bhutans King Jigme Singye
Wangchuck in 1972 in response to criticism that hiseconomy was growing poorly. It signaled hiscommitment to building an economy that would serveBhutans unique culture based on Buddhist spiritual
values. Like many moral goals, it is somew hat easier tostate than to define. Nonetheless, it serves as a unifying
vision for the Five Year planning process and all thederived planning documents that guide the economicand development plans of the country.
While conventional development models stresseconomic growth as the ultimate objective, the conceptof GNH claims to be based on the premise that truedevelopment of human society takes place whenmaterial and spiritual development occur side by side
to complement and reinforce each other. The fourpillars of GNH are the promotion of equitable andsustainable socio-economic development, preservationand promotion of cultural values, conservation of thenatural environment, and establishment of good
governance.

Presented by the Quezon City Chamber of Commerce andIndustry (QCCCI) of 2008-2009
Blessed are the strange, the weird, the people we laugh at, those whodo not fit our mold, specially the socially wretch and despised. By their presence in our lives, they expand our reality, on our part, reluctantly,and on theirs, so painfully, by forcing us to look at them in the hope that
we see God in them.Blessed are the depressed and the addicted, for they are calledupon to demonstrate the healing miracles of God through their ownawakening.
Blessed are those who are broken, those who fail, those who fall belowour expectation, for they are asked to show the rest of us that not beingperfect is part of the human condition; that accepting our imperfection isthe first step in our realization of the divine perfection of all that is.
Blessed are the cruel, the callused and uncaring, for on some deepunconscious level, they choose to delay their own liberation, so that othersmaybe enlightened by their example.
Blessed are those who cause us to suffer repeatedly by their mistakes, for they are our tutors who spend valuable time so that we learn ourlessons well.
The Universal Filipino BeatitudesBlessed are the nameless, the faceless, the dispossessed, the refugees,
the homeless, and the poor, for they point us to the way to compassion.By their sheer numbers, they tell us that ultimately, the experience ofcompassion is inescapable.
Blessed are the people who arouse us to anger, those who0 bring outthe worst in us, for they force us out of the denial that we harborwithin; that we are hooked on them, that they resonate with somethinghidden inside us; and to break free, we must let go of our misguidedmoral superiority.
Blessed are those who do not seem to have a life, and specially thosewho do not have a choice, those who ar e physically debilitated, paralyzedor in a coma and cannot move, for they bring us a message that is lost inthe age of frenzy; that to be worthy of Gods love, we need to strive todo or achieve anything, but simple BE.
Blessed are all of us, for whatever condition we find ourselves in, wecan choose to remember our true nature, our original blessing, ourtimeless grace anytime, any place and always and be happy in ourOneness! JIM PAREDES
(BUSINESS JOURNALISM CODE OF ETHICS by the Society of
American Business Editors and Writers)
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: It is not enough that we be
incorruptible and act with honest motives. We must conduct all
aspects of our lives in a manner that averts even the appearance of
conflict of interest or misuse of the power of the press.
A business, financial and economics writer should:
Recognize the trust, confidence and responsibility placed in him or
her by the publications readers and do nothing to abuse this
obligation. To this end, a clear-cut delineation between advertising
and editorial matters should be maintained at all times.
Avoid any practice which might compromise or appear to
compromise his objectivity or fairness. He or she should not let any
personal investments influence what he or she writes. On some
occasions, it may be desirable for him or her to disclose his or her
investment positions to a superior.
Avoid active trading and other short-term profit-seeking
opportunities. Active participation in the markets which such
activities require is not compatible with the role of the business and
financial journalist as disinterested trustee of the public interest.
Not take advantage in his or her personal investing of any inside
information and be sure any relevant information he or she may have
is widely disseminated before he buys or sells.
Make every effort to insure the confidentiality of information held for
publication to keep such information from finding its way to those who
might use it for gain before it becomes available to the public.
Accept no gift, special treatment or any other thing of more than
token value given in the course of his professional activities. In addition,
he or she will accept no out-of-town travel paid for by anyone other
than his or her employer for the ostensible purpose of covering or
backgrounding news. Free-lance writing opportunities and honoraria for
speeches should be examined carefully to assure that they are not in fact
disguised gratuities. Food and refreshments of ordinary value may be
accepted where necessary during the normal course of business.
Encourage the observance of these minimum standards by all
business writers.
ADDENDUM to Code of Ethics... Guidelines to Insure Editorial
Integrity of Business News Coverage:
A clear-cut delineation between advertising and editorial matters
should be maintained at all times.
Material produced by an editorial staff or news service should be
used only in sections controlled by editorial departments.
Sections controlled by advertising departments should be distinctly
different from news sections in typeface, layout and design.
Promising a story in exchange for advertising is unethical.
Publishers, broadcasters and top newsroom editors should
establish policies and guidelines to protect the integrity of business
news coverage.
Cautions On Use Of Non-Journalists With Conflicts Of Interest In The
Subject Matter:Using articles or columns written by non-journalists is
potentially deceptive and poses inherent conflicts of interest that
editors should guard against. This does not apply to clearly labeled
op-ed or viewpoint sections or Letters to the Editor.
Were Copycats for Ethics
EYOND lipservice and publicpronouncements, the private publicpartnership(PPP)in health andwellness shouldbe a showcase ofsuccessfulbusiness model
owing to the fact that the same(also known as pinnacle ofhappiness to many )is theendpoint of each andeveryone. Sense of urgencyand special attention wouldhave been accorded to theendeavor by all stakeholders.Other PPPs have all beentainted with irregularities,namely, NAIA III, ZTE, etc.Hopes are high with theQCs One Town-One Product
(otop) which is to position the city as hub of Health andWellness. Simply scanning theenvironment in QC wouldmake one agree; a city with good infrastructure, parksand key health, medical,fitness, wellnessestablishments.
However, some must doscenarios are necessary forthe PPP to give its optimumbenefits, not just for the citybut to the nation as well.
One of this is the reactivation ofdata bank registry project underthe responsibility of QCCCI, as
the mandated official voice ofbusiness and not by any otherprivate enterprise. An active andwelldirected use of the registrywill facilitate clustering of linkagesin health and wellness that cutacross all industries. Two, thestrong representation of privatesector in the proposedamendment of Investment andEconomic Council; and three, theenactment of supporting legislationto give more value to the adoptedresolution on QCs OTOP thatcan be translated into incentivesand direct assistance to investorsin health and wellness in QC.
In all these endeavors,individual, organizational andsocietal wellness are endpointsand, therefore, deserving of fullsupport by everyone.
Salin sa Filipino ng BeatitudesPinagpala ang mga naiiba, ang katakataka, ang mga taong
pinagtatawanan natin, iyong hindi nabibilang sa ating uri, lalo na iyongmga baliw at itinatakwil na salot ng lipunan. Nariyan sila upang palawakinang mga katotohanan sa ating buhay, kahit na hindi natin matanggap,kahit na napakasakit ito para sa kanila, nang sa gayon ay mapilitantayong bigyan sila ng kaukulang pansin sa pag-asang makikita natin ang
Diyos sa kanila. Pinagpala ang mga wlang ganang mabuhay at mga sugapa,sila ay tinatawag upang maipakita ang nakapagpapagaling na mga milagrong Diyos sa pamamagitan ng kanilang paggising na muli.
Pinagpala ang mga wasak sa pagkabayubay, iyong mga bigo, iyong hindinakatutugon sa ating nasa, dahil hinihingi sa kanilang maipakita sa atinglahat na likas sa kalagayan ng tao ang hindi maging perpekto, na angpagtanggap sa ating imperpeksyon ang unang hakbang sa pagpapatnubaynating ang Lumikha at lahat ng kanyang lalang ang siyang tanging perpektosa sanlibutan. Pinagpala ang malulupit, ang matitigas ang puso at walangpakialam sa mundo, dahil sa kaibuturan ng kanilang ulirat, pinili nilangipagpaliban ang kanilang paglaya, upang ang ibay maliwanagan sa kanilanghalimbawa.
Pinagpala ang mga taong sa kanilang paulit-ulit na pagkakamaliy nagdudulotsa atin ng ibayong pagtitiis, dahil nagsisilbi silang mga guro natin nanaghahandog sa atin ng mahalaga nilang oras upang matutuhan natin angmga aral ng buhay.
Pinagpala ang mga walang sariling pangalan, ang walang sariling mukha,ang walang sariling pag-aari, ang walang sariling bansa, ang walang sariling
tahanan, at mga mahihirap, dahil itinuturo nila sa atin ang landas tungosa kabutihang-loob. Sa dami ng bilang nilang tumambad sa atin,ipinababatid nila sa ating lahat na sa kasukdulan, walang makaliligtas sakatotohanang pinakamasarap na karanasan ang maging mabuti ang loob.
Pinagpala ang mga taong hinahamon tayong magngitngit, iyong pinipilittayong magalit hanggang sa tayoy mamuhi, dahil pinupuwersa nila tayong
ilabas ang kinikimkim na pagtatatwa sa ating sarili, na siyang bumabagabagsa atin, mistulang umaalingawngaw na sama ng loob na pilit nagpupumiglaspalabas; at upang tayoy makalaya, marapat at matuwid na hubdin natinang kahangalan at pagkapalalong moral.
Pinagpala ang mga taong animo walang kabuhay-buhay, at lalo na iyongmga walang masulingan, iyong may mabibigat na kapansanan, paralisado,nasa coma o wala sa sarili, at hindi makagalaw, dahil inihahatid nila saatin ang isang mensahe na naglahong parang bula sa panahon ngkaghuluhan, silakbo at kalituhan, na upang maging karapatdapat tayo sapag-ibig ng Diyos, hindi natin kailangang magpunyaging gawin ang anumangbagay kung para lang may makamtan, kundi simple taong MAGING.
Pinagpala tayong lahat, kahit anupaman an gating kalagayan atkinasasadlakan, dahil kaya nating piliing maalala ang ating tunay nakalikasan, ang ating kinapanganakang pagpapala, ang ating walanghanggang grasya o karangalan, sa anumang panahon, saanmang lugar atsa lahat ng pagkakataon, at para maging maligaya tayo sa ating sarilingKaisahan sa Kanya!-MARC GUERRERO
Siyanga pala, kapag Inglesan tayo nang Inglesan, maraming mga
kababayan na nasa bansa at sa 100 iba pang bansa sa buong daigdig ang
bagamat nakaiintindi, nakapagsusulat, nakapagbabasa at
nakapagsasalita ng English ang hindi agarang makauunawa sa mga
ideya at ideyal na ating tinatalakay.
Kapag nag-Tagalog tayo, mabilis pa sa speed of thought ang
pagpapasa at pagpapalitan at pagsusuri at pag-uuri ng mga bagay-bagay
sa buhay-buhay.Aminado tayo na hindi lahat ng mga salitang pangnegosyo at pang-
ekonomya ay may tumpak na salin sa English, ang language of business
na tinatawag ng mundo. Pero hindi tayo dapat malungkot. Iyon ngang
Google at Wikipedia, kahit trying hard, ay talaga namang nagpupunyagi
na maisalin sa Filipino ang lahat ng kanilang texto; tayo pa kayang
karaniwang mamamayang Filipino?
Kaya nga po mula sa araw na ito ay nakatakda tayong pagbuwisan ng
dugo, pawis at luha, wika nga, na magkaintindihan at magkaunawaan
tayo sa wika ng sambayanan, sa dila ng negosyo na makatao at may
pananagutan sa kalikasan, sa kapwatao at sa iba pang pagsasaalang-
alang.
theBUSINESS Paper, after all, defines genuine entrepreneurship as
sound business sense with social conscience.

History of World Chamber MovementA CHAMBER of commerce(also referred to in somecircles as aboard of trade) isa form of business network.Business owners in towns andcities form these local societiesto pursue their own interests.
Local businessmen aremembers, and they elect anexecutive council to run thechamber.Chambers of commerce servethe following purposes:
Promotion of trade in theirown towns or cities. Obtaining and supportingmunicipal regulations in interestof business in their regions. Settlement of disputesbetween members by meansof arbitration. Collection of information andstatistics which may be of useto their members. Recording of a blacklist formembers reference. Prevention of unnecessarycompetition by establishinguniform hours, wages andprices. Advocating for businessfriendly policies at the state,local, federal, and internationallevels.
The first chambers ofcommerce were founded in1599 in continental Europe(Marseille, France and Brugge,Belgium). The worlds oldestEnglish-speaking chamber ofcommerce is that of Glasgow,Scotland, that was establishedin 1783.
Characteristics
MEMBERSHIP in an individualchamber in an area can rangefrom a few dozen to well over
300,000 (as is the case with the
Paris Chamber of Commerceand Industry). Some chamberorganizations in China reporteven larger membershipnumbers. Chambers ofcommerce can range in sizefrom a single city or townchamber, to a county chamber,to a regional chamber, up to aninternational chamber ofcommerce.
The chambers do notoperate in the same manner asthe Better Business Bureau inthat, while the BBB has theauthority to bind its membersunder a formal operationsdoctrine (and, thus, canremove them if complaintsarise regarding their services),the local chamber membershipis strictly voluntary.
Chambers of commerce alsocan include economicdevelopment corporations orgroups (though the latter oftenis a formal branch of a localgovernment, the groups worktogether and may in somecases share office facilities) aswell as tourism and visitorsbureaus.
Some chambers have joinedstate, national, and eveninternational bodies (such asEUROCHAMBRES, theInternational Chamber ofCommerce (ICC) andWorldchambers). In themajority of countries, the useof the term chamber ofcommerce is regulated byfederal law. Currently, thereare about 13,000 chambersregistered in the officialWorldchambers Networkregistry, and the chamber ofcommerce network is thelargest business network
globally.
Chamber models
THERE are basically twochamber business membershipmodels worldwide,compulsory / public law orcontinental / private law.
Compulsory/Public lawchambers
UNDERthe compulsory orpublic law model, companies ofa certain areas are obliged tobecome members of thechamber. This model iscommon in European Unioncountries (France, Germany,Italy, Spain). The main tasks ofthe chamber are foreign tradepromotion, training, andgeneral services to companies.The chambers also have aconsultive function; this meansthe chambers must beconsulted whenever a new lawrelated to industry orcommerce is proposed.
Continental/Private lawchambers
UNDERthe private model,which exists in English-speakingcountries like USA, Canada orthe UK, companies are notobligated to become chambermembers. However,companies often becomemembers to develop theirbusiness contacts and,regarding the local chambers(the most common level oforganization), to demonstratea commitment to the localeconomy. Thoughgovernments are not requiredto consult chambers onproposed laws, the chambersare often contacted given theirlocal influence and membershipnumbers. (Wikipedia)
Chambers are not meant to be social clubs of big business, but a peoples assembly for small business

Mabuti Pa Ang Pera May TaoSA MABILIS na paglipas ng kungilang kasaysayan, maiisip ngkaraniwang Filipino: Bakit ang tao,nananatiling walang pera, gayong lahatsilang namumulitiko (mas tumpak angnamumulitika), pagmamahal sa bayanang ipinangangako?
Maaalalang nalimutang maituroagad ng ninunong Pilipino sa kanilangmga anak na ang bata pala mulangbago mag-9years old o pataas puwede nang maturuan at matutong
magnegosyo. Kung naisanay angkabataang Pinoy na, imbes na puro
gimik, pinagmaneho ng sariling pera,salapi o kuwartang pinagtuluan ngdugo, pawis at luha ng kanilang mgamagulang malamang sa hindi na10% na lang ngayon ng mahigit 80milyong kababayang Filipino angnaghihikahos!
Spoiled sa sariling mgaparents,aminin man o hindi. Ayaw nilangpapaghirapin (sukdulang magkasakitsilat bumigay hanggang di namakagulapay) ang mga anak, kayathindi masyadong ma-gets kung gaanokahirap kitain ang bawat piso na diyessentimos na lang ang halagang kayangbilhin sa kasalukuyan. Ayaw nilangipadanas sa mga anak ang pighatingkanilang pinagdaanan. Hu yabang!Pero, saludo tayo sa kanila.
Ang mga eskwelahan naman saFilipinas, pansin ni dating NEDA chiefCielito Habito, inaaral ang Pinoy namaghanap ng trabaho, kaysa lumikha
ng hanapbuhay pagkagradweyt, okahit na sa pag-drop out, dahil walanang panustos sa pag-aaral.Pinakukuntento na lang aniyang
umasa sa suweldo, kaysa matutongmakalikha ng kayamanan. Kaya angkaraniwang estudyante,jobber (osalarymen, sa mga Hapones) angkinahihinatnan, imbes na magsigasigna makapagtatag ng sariling business kesehodangfrom scratch, small omedium enterprise lang, microbiz oundergroundmuna (tsaka na lang
gawing big) at makapagbigay ngtrabaho sa iba, makapag-ambag ngbuwis na hindi dapat waldasin ng mganasa gobyerno. Entrepreneurship can
be learned (hindi ito inborn lang),dagdag pa ni UP-grad propesorHabito ng Ateneo.
Ang layunin po rito, maging daantungo sa paghahaghag ng tinatawag naentrepreneurship values sa mganasa grade school. Tapos, subukan paring makapagturo ngentrepreneurship skills sa mga nasahigh school at college. Pagkatapos, i-practise ang pagpapalitan ng ideas,ideals at wisdom sa pagnenegosyo.Kung mga tatay at nanay, tiyuhin at
tiyahin, lolo at lola ang nooy mahiligmagbasa, ngayoy maise-share na nilaang disenteng pahayagan broadsheetpara sa SMEs, theBUSINESS Paper, sakanilang mgabagets. It is divine to berich, di ba sabi ni Deng
Xiaoping,komunistang niyakap angkapitalismo.
Walang ituturing na masamangtinapay rito sa ating malayangtalakayan na may paggagalangan sakaranasan at expertise ng mambabasa.
Kasi nga, masyado nang kulelat angFilipinas sa mabilis mga magsipag-unlad na kapitbansa sa Southeast Asia,
gayong noong araw, estudyante langsila ng mga expertong Pinoy nakaramihan ay ine-enjoy na lang (kahitmalungkot, malamig, minamaliit,nilalait, inaaglahi, at sakmalan nangsakmalan) ang pagtatrabahongnamumukiki sa dolyares kayatmadaling makabili ng ganito at
ganoong materyal na bagay saAmerika at Europa.
Pero hindi pa huli ang lahat. Malakipa ang pag-asa ng Pinoy na matuto sa
mga kababayang Chinese, sa mgakabiyak na Japanese at Koreano ngmga Filipina, sa mga Bumbay, Araboat ibang kapatid na Muslim, sa mgaHudyo o Jewish, at gayundin sa mgakababayanghardworking Ilocano,Pangasinense, Pampango, Batangan,Bicolano, Cebuano, Ilonggo, Waray atMindanaoan. Para bukas-makalawa,ang tao, magkakaroon na rin ngpera.SABI DA:Ang entrepreneurship aysistema o programa na kumpletos-rekados sagood business sense at hitiksa social conscience; samantalang angbusiness kadalasan at hindi kungminsan puro profit o tubo lang angisinasaalang-alang.So, ano ka,kaibigan, businessman oentrepreneur?. O huwag kalilimutangmagparamdam, ha? Sa susunod namga isyu, maaari nang mag-text n call,mag-email, mag-live chat, bumuo ng e-
groups at magbuild up ng website ukolsa pagnenegosyo. Gusto nating maginginteractive, connected at convergent
lahat ng entreprenor na Pinoy rito satheBUSINESS Paper.
