“At ACE ACT Now, our mission is clear: to advocate entrepreneurship and inspire people of faith to aspire to greater economic independence,” shares Phillip. 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
Central to ACE ACT Now’s ethos is forming a robust support network. Chapters scattered throughout the country serve as hubs for ongoing mentorship and training. “Our goal is to not only equip individuals with the skills to start businesses but to sustain and grow them,” emphasizes Phillip.

Addressing Challenges and Seeking Collaboration
Yet, challenges persist, particularly in resource-strapped regions like the Philippines. 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.
