Nobody does it better than Marissa Orosa-Concepcion. We know Joey Concepcion to be dedicated to the country, with a relentless drive for his endeavors, and his wife Marissa supports that drive.

A thematic Indian-inspired gathering had just the right mood and ambiance to honor him last month.

The cocktail event was hosted to celebrate the latest conferment to Joey, the Padma Shri Award, given by the President of the Republic of India for his distinguished service.

This was to recognize Joey’s inspiring leadership and advocacy in mentoring entrepreneurs. His passion in carrying out his work for Go Negosyo extends to the region, as well as to the Asean Mentorship for Entrepreneurs Network and the Asean Business Investment Summit last year.

Joey noted how the Philippines and India realized the need to give impetus to micro and small entrepreneurs.—CONTRIBUTED
