BDO Network Bank brand ambassador and Batang Quiapo star Coco Martin said giving a 100% commitment and focus to running a business is essential. "Don't enter a business if you're not knowledgeable about it and if your passion isn't there. When you start a business, you should know it inside out. It's difficult to enter a business just because a friend or relative encouraged you, saying 'you'll earn well here.' If you're not giving 100 percent focus to a business, it definitely won't be successful," explained Coco. He also added that having a reliable bank partner is a significant help in growing the business. To him, it is better to take out a loan from a bank rather than using up one’s savings. "Filipinos are quite conservative. It's better not to directly take out your money. The bank helps you with how to further expand your business," Coco stated. "Many businesses have closed down and failed. We're lucky when ther...
