But in all the years they stayed in the country, Ricarte’s dream of an independent Philippines never waned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n General Carlos P. Romulo was a distinguished diplomat, statesman, and a World War II veteran. He was a co-founder of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines and president of the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside his illustrious career in public service, he also had entrepreneurial interests and co-founded a newspaper company, The Philippines Herald<\/em> in the 1930s. In 1942, he was awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These Filipino heroes not only played significant roles in shaping Philippine history but also embarked on entrepreneurial pursuits. Their entrepreneurial contributions serve as inspiration for current and aspiring entrepreneurs in the Philippines, who are also today\u2019s modern heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n Small businesses in the Philippines are the country\u2019s economic backbone. They kept the economy afloat during the pandemic and are continuing to do so today. They don\u2019t only provide goods and services, but create much-needed jobs and livelihood for Filipinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kaya <\/em>as we celebrate National Heroes Day in August, Ninja Van<\/strong> also salutes our country\u2019s unsung heroes \u2014 the Filipino entrepreneurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ninja Van is here to help keep your hustle going and be your reliable business partner.
