Mercato Centrale, College of Saint Benilde Launch Micro-Certification Program to Upskill MSMEs in Food Sector

Manila, Philippines – Mercato Centrale Group, the country’s premier food and lifestyle market, has partnered with De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) to roll out micro-certification courses aimed at strengthening micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the food industry.

The program will offer short courses covering food business management, marketing strategies, financial literacy, and culinary innovation. Developed through the collaboration of Mercato Centrale’s entrepreneurship platform and CSB’s School of Hotel, Restaurant, and Institution Management (SHRIM), the courses aim to equip aspiring and existing food entrepreneurs with the tools to build sustainable, growth-oriented businesses. The program is expected to launch in the coming months and will be open to home-based food vendors, market stall owners, and individuals entering the food industry.

The partnership was formalized through a memorandum of understanding signed on March 26, 2025, at the Vatel Restaurant on the CSB campus. RJ Ledesma and Vanessa Ledesma of Mercato Centrale, DLS-CSB Chancellor Benhur Ong, SHRIM Dean Marie Paz Castro, and Vice Chancellor for Academics Angelo Marco Lacson attended the ceremony.

“Almost 99.5% of businesses in the Philippines are MSMEs, and a large number of them are in the food industry,” said RJ Ledesma, co-founder of Mercato Centrale. “Our mission has always been to champion local food entrepreneurs by providing them with the right platform and support. Through this partnership with CSB, we’re taking that commitment further by giving MSMEs access to quality education and training—tools that can help them sustain and grow their businesses. With what we’ve built at Mercato, we have a real opportunity to contribute to making these businesses more sustainable. This initiative also reflects our Lasallian mission of service.”

Under the agreement, the partnership will roll out a comprehensive set of academic and industry-focused initiatives. These include student internships across Benilde’s hospitality and entrepreneurship programs, providing students with hands-on experience in real-world business environments. Selected courses will be micro-credentialed to better align academic offerings with the operational needs of the food and hospitality sector. Faculty and associates from both institutions will also participate in immersion and exposure trips to gain deeper insights into industry practices.

To further enrich learning, Mercato Centrale and DLS-CSB will co-host data analytics workshops and seminars that draw from Mercato’s field experience—equipping students, faculty, and the broader public with a deeper understanding of market trends and consumer behavior. Students will also take part in project-based learning alongside Mercato, solving real-world entrepreneurial challenges. These will be supported by mentorship-led class enrichment programs that bridge academic theory with practical application.

The collaboration marks a strategic alliance between two institutions committed to empowering the next generation of Filipino food entrepreneurs through accessible, experience-driven education.
