An inclusive, eco-friendly online economy

AFTER she retired as a public school teacher in San Pablo, my late grandmother Rosita started selling tamarind candies – Rosing’s Champoy – and to her dying days took pride in her entrepreneurship that has led to her products, which have since expanded to include peanut brittle being sold in different parts of the country, including in SM supermarkets.

Two years ago, she passed away, leaving my grandfather Basilio and second cousin Vikki Torres to continue her modest business, which supported the livelihoods of a handful of people.
