The weekend-long Kiddo-preneur Fair at Greenhills Mall once again showcased the creativity, confidence, and entrepreneurial spirit of Filipino youth, drawing families, mentors, and business leaders to support the next generation of innovators.

This year’s fair gathered 180 participants, from children to teenagers, all challenged to build their own businesses from scratch. Each booth was a reflection of their imagination and hard work — from designing logos and ads, to engaging with customers, to handling real sales.

But Kiddo-preneur is more than a marketplace. It’s a platform for earning and learning outside the classroom — where every child walks away with something invaluable:

Confidence to speak up and pitch their ideas

Creativity to design and innovate

Resilience to face challenges and keep going

Friendship and teamwork that make the journey even more meaningful

To celebrate outstanding efforts, four award categories were presented:

Best Booth Design – Maxine’s Crafts Studio by Maxine Lim

Best Service – Summer Wonderland by Venice & Ethan Tintoc

Best Ad – Gut Gang by Amara Storm King, Aurora Sky King, & Artemis Soul King Best Concept – Zesty Besties by Trent and Corban Gosingtian, Lincoln, Audrey, and Scarlett Ang, Hero and Hugh Chang, & Chloe and Kaylee Chua

“When you nurture your child as a Kiddo-preneur, the rewards go far beyond. For the child, it’s about building confidence, sparking creativity, and gaining real-world skills. For the family, it’s a chance to bond — working together, cheering on ideas, and celebrating perseverance, grit, and the excitement of turning ideas into real earnings. And for the country, it plants the seeds of entrepreneurship, resilience, and innovation in the next generation — values that will drive our economy and shape our future,” said Maiki Oreta, founder of Kiddo-preneur “Kiddo-preneur is an investment in every child — and in the future of the Philippines. It builds confidence and creativity in kids, strengthens family bonds, and plants the seeds of entrepreneurship and resilience that will drive our country forward.”

Building on the success of Kiddo-preneur, we are thrilled to announce another initiative to empower young learners: The Alphabee Spelling Contest!

Spelling is a foundational skill that builds confidence and sharpens thinking. Join us on November 9 at GH Mall to discover the next generation of smart thinkers, bold dreamers, and word wizards ready to shape the future of the Philippines.

“Every child who joins Kiddo-preneur walks away with more than just sales — they gain confidence to speak up, creativity to think outside the box, resilience to handle challenges, and friendships that make life even more fun,” she ended.
