AI NEGOSYO officially relaunches today with a renewed mission to bring Artificial Intelligence to every Filipino entrepreneur. This groundbreaking initiative aims to empower micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with the tools, knowledge, and mindset needed to thrive in today’s fast-changing digital economy.
At the forefront of this movement are two respected names in Philippine innovation and entrepreneurship: Pocholo “The VoiceMaster” De Leon Gonzales, a leading AI educator, voice technology advocate, and global speaker; and Armando “Butz” Bartolome, the country’s most recognized franchising mentor. Together, they are driving AI NEGOSYO forward to democratize technology for all Filipinos—whether they’re running sari-sari stores, franchises, or startups.
Pocholo Gonzales, the creator of the first authentic Filipino AI voices on platforms such as ElevenLabs, Murf.AI, and Tomato.AI, emphasizes the urgency of AI integration in grassroots entrepreneurship. As the official brand ambassador of Jogg.A and PhotoGPT AI, Gonzales brings these powerful AI tools to Filipino hands. He believes that with AI, ordinary Filipinos can create extraordinary impact and become part of the global digital economy.
For Bartolome, whose decades of mentorship have helped build brands like Potato Corner and Generika, the goal is to future-proof entrepreneurship without losing the Filipino touch. He affirms that AI is not a replacement for human skill but a companion for growth. His experience in franchising gives AI NEGOSYO a strong foundation in mentoring and sustainable business development.
AI NEGOSYO is not just a program—it is a movement built on Filipino values and creativity. It represents a new wave of technopreneurship where “AI” stands for both Artificial Intelligence and Authentic Innovators. The platform envisions a future where Filipino entrepreneurs become leaders in AI-powered business while staying true to their purpose and identity.
The program offers a wide range of opportunities that include AI-powered content and branding tools, training sessions that integrate AI with entrepreneurship, startup incubation support, and a community that fosters innovation with integrity. Through accessible mentorship, digital education, and collaboration with business and tech leaders, AI NEGOSYO equips Filipinos to lead in the new economy.
Founded by veteran Go Negosyo mentors and Angelpreneurs since 2005, Gonzales and Bartolome bring not only experience but a shared vision of inclusive and purpose-driven innovation. Their partnership symbolizes a powerful combination of technology and wisdom, now made available to every aspiring entrepreneur in the Philippines.
AI NEGOSYO invites all Filipino business owners, freelancers, educators, and innovators to take part in this revolution. With this relaunch, the movement calls on the nation to embrace technology as a tool for transformation, empowerment, and progress.
This is the time to bring AI to every negosyo. AI to every Pilipino.
