MANILA, Philippines -- The Google Business Group (GBG) in the Philippines aims to equip women entrepreneurs with tools to help them maximize their business’s online presence.

GBG hopes to impart skills on effective virtual collaboration and efficient customer relations, which will prepare businesswomen for successful online management.

The GBG Makati, together with the Women’s Business Council Philippines will hold the first Women on the Web (WoW) Philippines Summit on March 22 and 23 at the Mint Meridian International College, McKinley Hill, Fort Bonifacio, in Taguig City.

The two-day intensive workshop will provide training sessions on Google’s suite of tools and other relevant industry-related topics.

GBG is an independent community-led group of business professionals in the Philippines that come together to share knowledge about Google web technologies for business success.

According to GBG Makati's Community lead Ros Juan, the Web creates a level playing field for all business owners, big or small.

"We believe that we can empower women entrepreneurs to excel in the digital field and supplement their business processes with the right tools and knowledge," Juan said.

The WoW Philippines Summit was organized after the successful inaugural launch of the WoW program in Singapore in 2012.

The summit is free, open and exclusive to all female business owners, professionals, and entrepreneurs.

The Summit is in partnership with Smart Communications, IdeaSpace, Mint College, IMMAP, Binalot, Q Software Research Corp, Commune Coffee Shop, Azalea Residences, Moonleaf Tea Shop and Philippine Coffee Board, Incorporated.
