Global Dominion and Go Negosyo Launch Nationwide Initiative to Support Filipino Entrepreneurs and Jobseekers

Despite recent easing of inflation, many Filipino households and entrepreneurs continue to grapple with weak consumer demand, intense competition, limited access to capital, and the need for more stable income sources. To address these persistent challenges, Global Dominion Financing Inc. (Global Dominion) has partnered with Go Negosyo to launch Trabaho at Negosyo, a nationwide initiative that offers business mentorship, employment opportunities, and alternative income pathways closer to communities across the Philippines.

The program provides aspiring and existing entrepreneurs with coaching and mentorship rooted in Global Dominion’s financing expertise. Participants can explore two income options: direct employment with Global Dominion or accreditation as independent loan consultants. Samuel Cariño, president and CEO of Global Dominion, explained that the initiative aims to help more Filipinos make informed financial decisions while connecting them with practical opportunities to grow businesses, find jobs, or earn additional income.

Trabaho at Negosyo operates as an on-ground roadshow that combines business coaching, employment, and livelihood opportunities for jobseekers, aspiring entrepreneurs, and current business owners. The program has already reached thousands of participants in Quezon City, Pasay, Cebu, Davao, and Bataan, with plans to expand further into Central Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao by the end of the year.

A key component of the mentorship involves educating entrepreneurs on how financing can support legitimate business needs such as purchasing equipment, replenishing inventory, strengthening operations, or pursuing expansion. The guidance stresses the importance of approaching financing with a clear purpose and a repayment plan. Participants are encouraged to understand loan terms, assess their ability to meet obligations, and determine whether borrowing can generate sustainable value for their businesses.

This responsible financing approach reflects Global Dominion’s broader goal of helping entrepreneurs make informed decisions rather than viewing loans as quick fixes for short-term needs. Go Negosyo founder Joey Concepcion highlighted that mentorship transforms ambition into actionable plans and enterprises. He emphasized that the partnership connects entrepreneurs to practical opportunities backed by infrastructure, which is crucial for Filipino micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) still finding their footing.

Beyond mentorship, the roadshow introduces participants to employment openings within Global Dominion and its loan consultant accreditation program. Filipinos seeking new or additional income sources can become accredited loan consultants, receiving training to explain and offer Global Dominion’s financing services to eligible clients, particularly business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs. Unlike direct employment, accredited loan consultants operate independently, providing a flexible way to earn while helping others identify appropriate financing solutions.

The partnership leverages Go Negosyo’s entrepreneurship platform and community reach alongside Global Dominion’s financing expertise, nationwide presence, and employment and accreditation programs. This collaboration aims to extend support beyond major commercial centers to more Filipinos in provincial areas.

Cariño added that each stop of the roadshow is designed to equip participants with useful tools to advance—whether through improved business knowledge, a clearer understanding of responsible financing, job opportunities, or additional income streams. For Global Dominion, the initiative represents a commitment to going beyond financing by helping Filipinos build and sustain their ambitions.
