Social entrepreneurship that connects. Profits that prioritize the marginalized. All people benefitting. One planet to save. Positive influence for everyone involved. Celebrating life, regardless

Social entrepreneurship is a breakthrough model for development and a new way of doing business. We can evolve the traditional Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) into a Corporate Social Entrepreneurship. We can grow initial stages of social entrepreneurship into Technopreneurship. Multiple bottomlines that should include People, Planet, Profit, Peace and Positive Influence. Integrated, community-based, eco-tourism will save our country from poverty and environmental decay. Faith has business in business, whether articulated or not.

I wish to share the rags2riches story both literally and metaphorically also personally and professionally. My own life is a rags2riches story having been a breadwinner and ultimately climbing the corporate ladder. A parallel story is about the social enterprise we put up that is a chronicle of nothing short of miracles from a P10,000 donation that grew to millions to a top-rate fashion designer saying yes on gratis that opened the doors to multi-media mileages and international recognitions. A simple rug that was sold for P9 a piece now sells at P5,000++ for a designer bag. Before women would only earn P1 a product now they receive approximately P3,000 a week. We have upcycled more than 200 tons of scraps of cloth and we passionately continue with our mission guided by the maxim of our 4Ps - People, Planet, Profit and Positive Influence. Payatas, the country's biggest dumpsite used to be a national stigma, now, after winning international awards, it is a national pride.
