SERVITO’s KSS Learning Center owner and manager, Journa Liz Servito-Ramirez was awarded as one of the 32 finalists, under the category of “Young Entrepreneur of the Year”, of the very first Entrepreneur Academy Awards (EAA) held at Cebu City, Oct. 10-11, 2008.

The award body sponsored by the Academy for Creating Enterprise (ACE), Brigham Young University-Hawaii (BYUH), and the Yamagata Foundation, aimed to look for and recognize Latter-day Saints (LDS) entrepreneurs in the country, who, at the height of present crises exhibit courage and determination to take risk on establishing and nourishing a business.

The finalists from various parts of the Philippines were flown to Cebu City for an all-expense paid experience. One million pesos worth of cash prizes plus trophies were awarded to the winners from the eight categories. On the other hand, having seen and felt the finalists hard work and zeal in their respective establishments, Gene Yamagata, founder of the Yamagata Foundation announced an unexpected decision of giving the remaining finalists P25,000 each as cash award.

The LDS entrepreneurs were indeed humbled by the honor and recognition they received; more overwhelmed by the generosity, prosperity, yet humility of the event’s sponsors and judges coming from the U.S. and Japan.

With the success of the EAA, the three sponsoring bodies have decided to hold another one by 2010.

    Congrats Journaliz :) I’m also a member of the EAA… but it’s not Entrepreneur Academy Awards, it’s EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATION… for those dreaming to become an Aviator someday :)
