As the end of the academic year draws near, the final hurdle before graduation of Grade 12 ABM students has begun!
The ates and kuyas of Grade 12 ABM held their final research defense tackling their business proposals that came to fruition in the Trade Fairs that took place beforehand. The panelists present were Sir Antonio Mallari, Ms. Elenita "Jae" Andaya, and Ms. Marden Ann De Guzman. The students sold a wide variety of goodies, from sweet desserts to savory snacks and refreshing drinks. They increased their high-quality goods, student-friendly costs, food production, marketing tactics, and more.
"Snack Corner," the second of the three groups that made up the final presentation, commenced the event. Jelly Tubs and Nacho Dawgs are the two divisions of this company. The presenters have stated that they created the newest branch of their company—”Nacho Dawg"—since there are limited food choices at the concessionaire, hence making it a market problem. Additionally, the question “Why should I invest in your company?” was raised, the group answered that they were able to make a profit, making them successful.
The second team to present is the “Siogo-go-go,” whereas only one member presented in front, Enzo Puga—the CEO/Finance Manager of Siogo-go-go. Their company is divided into four different departments; culinary, marketing, finance, and documentation. They put a greater emphasis on products made from rice meal, he said. Moreover, the trade fair that happened May 3-4 served as the “soft-launch” of the company that would serve as a leverage for investors to invest in their business.
Last but not least, “Snack Attack,” The panelists gave them high marks for their sweet donuts and expressed great satisfaction with them. This business's live culinary demonstration at the trade show really stood out and attracted lots of customers.

“Number one advice is once they (the ABM aspirants) choose ABM, that’s already a good choice because any profession has the basic foundation of business and they should learn the basics of business. So my advice would be, to be realistic of what would happen in the business world.”
