As the owner of Rjane Shoe Repair Shop, I am grateful for the opportunity to attend the MSME Mentorship on Practical AI Applications held at Ardenhills Suites Hotel, in partnership with the Philippine AI Business Association (PAIBA) and our local government partner, QC–SBCDPO.
This event was an eye-opening and inspiring experience, offering valuable insights into how artificial intelligence can support MSMEs in improving operational efficiency, enhancing customer service, and adapting more strategically to today’s digital landscape. Learning about the practical uses of AI—especially how it can be applied even in traditional service businesses like shoe repair—has broadened my perspective on innovation and growth.
The mentorship highlighted how AI-driven tools can help streamline daily processes, strengthen communication channels, and support data-driven decision making. Engaging with mentors, speakers, and fellow MSME owners made the learning even more meaningful, reminding us all of the importance of continuous development and embracing modern solutions.
My sincere appreciation goes to PAIBA for sharing their expertise and to QC–SBCDPO for organizing this impactful initiative for small business owners. The knowledge and inspiration I gained from this event will help us continue improving our services and remain committed to providing quality, reliable workmanship at Rjane Shoe Repair Shop.
