With my mentor, the Father of Philippine Social Enterprises Professor Eduardo Morato. (+). My entrepreneurial journey was greatly influenced by Bayan Academy under his management (2017 - 2020)
Thank you very much BPI Sinag and Bayan Academy for teaching and supporting Social Entrepreneurs to scale up and become sustainable enterprises this 2020.
In 2017, We have learned a lot after those bootcamps and becoming one of the finalist was a privilege. 2018 was a good year for post competition mentorship and we were able to establish a market and a good following in Metro Manila, thanks to Prof. Marvin Beduya's challenge for us to market within the Philippines. In 2019, we started to offer our products to more hotels and restaurants.
2020 started good with increasing orders but the Pandemic affected our business and the BPI Sinag Reignite Challenge was a game changer. With over 40 Social Enterprise champions from all over the country competing, we are very thankful that we are one of the top finalists and will undergo a six-month mentorship program from pioneering social enterprise incubator Bayan Academy. We are looking forward for this extensive business learnings.
Thank you to all of you who believed in us. We could not have done this without you. To our Sinag Community all over the Philippines, Bayan Academy, BPI foundation, Villgro, Start-up Village, Exchange, Endevour, BanKo, Network of Entrepreneurs, DTI and to our suppliers and community partners as well as my family, circle of true friends, social media followers and network and most specially to God almighty who is the source of our inner strength, thank you!
