Mountain Maid Training Center

BAGUIO CITY, BENGUET

MMTC is social enterprise in Baguio City that aims to empower young people to break the cycle of poverty through education. With Cordilleras as one of the most economically challenged areas of the country and believing in the transformative power of education to break the cycle of poverty, MMTC chiefly supports youth from the six indigenous tribes of the Cordilleras: Abra, Benguet, Kalinga, Apayao, Mt. Province, and Ifugao. The income received from their work in this large food processing center enables many young women and men to complete a technical or college education.

Bahay Pastulan

TAGAYTAY CITY, CAVITE

Promoting person-centered business ethics

Bahay Pastulan started in 1996 by Sr. Mary Joseph Olaguer, RGS after seeing many ambulant vendors outside the convent premises who were selling rice cakes and other food to people who come to the convent for retreats. With an PHP 80,000 loan and coconut being abundant in the area, they ventured for their first product: buko pie. Not until all nuns in the convent were satisfied with its taste and quality, buko pie became its best seller. Later on, Sr. Joseph invited more beneficiaries in the production and over the years Bahay Pastulan offered a variety high quality products. It has a training center where beneficiaries, mostly poor women, are trained and eventually hired giving them opportunity to provide decent life to their children. Eventually, they are capacitated to develop their own product, manage their own production, and supply products to the store.

Contemplative Sisters’ Altar Bread

BANAWA HILLS, CEBU CITY

In 1961, when the new foundation of the contemplative community began in Quezon City, they ventured in baking Altar Bread to support themselves. When they transferred to Cebu in 1972, this continued and still exists to this day. It also gave employment opportunities to individuals as more lay people got involved in the production. They now supply hosts to parishes of the Archdiocese of Cebu.
