Maria's Story

Since 1975, Maria Serion of Espanola, Palawan has run a small food stand.

With the money that she will get from the loan, she planns to add more menu items for her existing customers to choose from. To do this, she must first buy more ingredients.

Her dream is to someday be able to expand her business into a proper restaurant. She wants to be known as a restaurant owner.

The additional income Maria earns will help pay for her family’s daily needs, as well as help cover the costs of school for her children.

Maria is 55 years old and has nine children: Gilbert, Glenda, Gladys, Jomar, Jerwin, Jeraldine, Jeffrey, Glyselyn and Grethin.
