In 2021, a 22-year-old woman from Mandaluyong City pitched a business idea to her brother, not realizing that it would help her older sibling who was laid off from work due to the effects of the pandemic.
“Nagbenta ako ng halaman, ng damit. Nagbenta din ako ng pantali sa buhok, nagbenta ako ng bags. Nagbenta din ako ng panlinis sa jewelry.Try lang talaga nang try,” she added. “Mahilig kami magluto talaga.Siguro three months namin siyang pine-prep para talaga bago namin i-release,maganda na ‘yung product,” he added.
After six months, they were able to establish their first physical store near their house in Mandaluyong. They can now accommodate walk-in customers. “No’ng una, talagang nalulula kami kasi start kami sa pa-kilo-kilo lang. Ngayon, pa-box. Puro box na ‘yung dumadating.Dati sa palengke lang ganyan. Parang bibili ka lang ng tingi-tingi kasi ‘di ka pa sure. Tas ngayon, talagang sinu-supply-an na kami,” Abigail shared.
