MIMAROPA’s regional winner in the LIKHAng Marino Business Plan Competition, Christian Vincent C. Legreso, was formally awarded at the Department of Migrant Workers Central Office, Ortigas, Metro Manila, on 21 September 2026, and is now undergoing boot camp training in preparation for the National Level of the competition.
Legreso, who emerged as the MIMAROPA Regional Winner, received his award from DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac, recognizing his achievement at the regional level and his qualification to represent the region in the national competition.
Following the awarding ceremony, Legreso proceeded to the LIKHAng Marino boot camp, where he will compete at the National Level of the LIKHAng Marino Business Plan Competition alongside other regional winners.
The LIKHAng Marino initiative provides a platform for Filipino maritime workers to present business ideas and develop entrepreneurial opportunities beyond overseas employment. For MIMAROPA, Legreso’s advancement to the national level highlights the potential of its maritime workforce to translate experience, skills, and ideas into viable livelihood and enterprise opportunities.
From regional recognition to the national stage, Christian Vincent C. Legreso now carries the MIMAROPA flag in the LIKHAng Marino Business Plan Competition—bringing with him the region’s continuing commitment to empowering migrant workers through entrepreneurship, skills development, and sustainable opportunities.
