Anchored in the renowned ACT Now Program, the Academy offers a roadmap for aspiring entrepreneurs, guiding them from business inception to expansion.
Building a Supportive Network

Limited staffing and volunteer turnover pose ongoing hurdles. “We’re constantly seeking compassionate volunteers with business acumen to join our cause,” notes Phillip. Collaboration lies at the heart of ACE ACT Now’s strategy for amplifying impact. Partnerships with local organizations, including churches and government bodies, bolster outreach efforts and resource accessibility.

Continuous evaluation through impact studies ensures ACE ACT Now remains effective. Positive outcomes, including improved quality of life and income, underscore the Academy’s role in fostering economic empowerment. Looking ahead, Phillip envisions an expanded ecosystem for entrepreneurship in the Philippines. Initiatives like industry councils and enhanced collaboration with churches promise to elevate aspiring entrepreneurs further.
