Its main activity is building a membership of highly-skilled and motivated individuals while facilitating communication and cooperation by means of its human resources database that is available to all members. Anyone who takes time to fill-out their BGN Profile page is considered a BGN member.
The database stores data on the technical/business skills, academic and professional backgrounds, and contact information for all BGN members. It is also available to business, academic, governmental, and non-governmental organizations in the Philippines.
