In the Philippines, holiday feels begin in “ber” months when Christmas songs are beginning to fill our year’s playlists. 🎄🎅

On this day in 1857, the words and music of the Christmas song entitled "The One Horse Open Sleigh", now popularly known as "Jingle Bells" was copyrighted by Oliver Ditson and Company composed by James Lord Pierpont who is also part of the company, one of the major music publishing houses in the late 19th century. It is one of the most performed and recognizable secular holiday songs around the world.

However, it is now in the public domain and is available to be freely copied and performed.

The Kapatid Mentor ME (KMME) has been implemented since 2016 as a 10-module mentorship program that optimizes weekly face-to-face interactions between the mentors and the mentees with the key goal of boosting the entrepreneurial capacity through improved access to Mentorship, Money & Market (i.e., the 3Ms).

With the COVID-19 upending lives and businesses all over the world, the KMME becomes more relevant and necessary albeit in a virtual or digitalized form. Thus, the KMME-MME Online is developed as the practical delivery mechanism for the same mentorship modules to be used to propel MSEs to survive and thrive in spite of the unprecedented setbacks that now confront businesses of all types and sizes.

1. To provide a platform for existing and aspiring entrepreneurs to learn and be inspired from the entrepreneurial journey of the mentors online;
2. To be the channel for capacity building on an online platform using the KMME modules and canned lectures via webinar;
3. To provide an avenue for business mentorship of wait listed MSEs across the regions and enhance their resiliency through crisis;
4. To inspire the MSEs to adapt their business strategies, e.g., rebuild/repurpose/retrofit, in responding to the challenges of the “new normal” business environment.
