PHILSME Business Show Podcast Stands Out as the Philippines’ Only Podcast Dedicated to SMEs

MANILA, Philippines – In a media landscape filled with general business content, one show continues to carve a space specifically for Filipino entrepreneurs: the PHILSME Business Show Podcast, now marking its first anniversary as the Philippines’ only podcast-vodcast series built exclusively for SMEs.

Produced by the Philippine SME Business Expo and Network, the show first aired in August 2024 and has since become a go-to source for real stories and actionable insights, streamed weekly on Spotify and YouTube.

Over the past year, the PHILSME Business Show has released two full seasons—8 episodes in Season 1 and 11 episodes in Season 2—featuring both established business icons and rising entrepreneurs. Past guests include entrepreneur RJ Ledesma, IWG’s Lars Wittig, branding expert Ric Gindap, KinetX CEO Rowen Untivero, Franchise Flow’s Jas Barinaga, and VoiceCon PH’s Ron and Joyce Titular, alongside standout members of the PHILSME Business Network.

Season 3, now streaming, welcomes a new roster of industry leaders shaping the future of business:

• Trade Attaché Intan Zalani of the Embassy of Malaysia
  
  
• Rowena Natividad, first Filipina Country Manager of International Workplace Group (IWG)
  
  
• Lawrence Ferrer, President and CEO of CIS Bayad Center Inc.
  
  
• Christopher James Payne, President of Veritas Pay Philippines
  
  
• Jong Layug, Jr., Head of GCash for Business

Seasons 2 and 3 of the PHILSME Business Show are recorded and edited by Sine Haraya and filmed at IWG Spaces World Plaza. Both serve as sponsors of the PHILSME Business Network.

“We built this show because there wasn’t anything like it—no platform that consistently puts the spotlight on the real journey of Filipino SMEs,” said Trixie Esguerra-Abrenilla, CEO and Managing Director of PHILSME. “That’s what makes the PHILSME Business Show different. It’s authentic, focused, and built for entrepreneurs looking for practical lessons and inspiration from those who’ve walked the path.”

The podcast-vodcast is now recognized as a central hub for the PHILSME Business Network, extending the impact of the 17th PHILSME Business Expo, happening November 28–29, 2025, at the World Trade Center in Metro Manila.
