Business: Fashion Clothes Online And Live Selling

Honestly it was a random decision regarding to our business, since we all know that it’s really crucial to start specially when you are lack of budget, so we came up with a plan that we need to save money and we actually ask for investors to start our business. 

There are challenges we faced every single day we sell a product, for example like it’s really hard to gain followers/ buyers through social media, the booking of parcels whenever there are buyers outside Cavite and also there are times when we lose hope because the business is sometimes not really in demand. tas syempre may parating kaming mga clothes mahirap sya i assemble agad, hindi lahat maganda tignan so kailangan presentable sya sa picture, so need sya  plantsyahin para makita talaga ung mismong dress or fashion blouse then ung clothes na yon is halos 100-200 plus pinaplantsya namin sya sa isang araw and at the same time pictorial ng clothes, nakakapagod rin pero at the same time goods naman kase, hindi naman palagi na papatok un sa tao kaya normal na may matumal at mabinta yung clothes namin, so how we overcome we think positive. like pag nakabenta kami maliit or malaki, malaking impact na rin sya sa negosyo namin, and also we rest ayon kapag pagod na talaga pahinga lang at dasal:)

The lesson we learned while doing business is the importance of balance and adaptability. As students and young entrepreneurs, we realized that time management is crucial because we need to divide our focus between academics and running a business. We also learned that challenges, such as slow sales, competition, and limited resources, are part of the process, but these teach us to be more resourceful, patient, and determined. Most importantly, we discovered that teamwork and proper planning are key to overcoming difficulties and keeping the business moving forward><

Business: Handmade Products Crochets, Toys, Necklace etc.

  It started when my friend taught me  how to crochet a flower for upcoming valentines day until my interest grow about crocheting. The materials, time duration and the market strategy. I saved money for buying materials and some of my friends helped me having customers and i really lend time for making it.

I still have the strength making my products because I am in the field of arts, handi crafts is a form of art and its always my inspiration to produce more. Therefore, my fellow friends also has the same interest as me as well and it doesn't stop me from producing my own crafts and it became successful by having opportunities to be a merchant in events and helping other artist

Business: Different Kinds of Food on School 

I only had ₱200 as my starting capital(Nanghiram lang ako Kay mommy). At first, I sold only to my close friends, kasi 1st week palang ng school. Nahihiya pa ako, but when my classmates from other sections found out, they started buying from me too and supported me. Little by little, my small business grew.

One of the hardest parts was carrying all my products. Sometimes I had three eco bags full of snacks, I even brought a maleta para lang sa mga paninda ko, and it was really heavy. Luckily, my best friend would always help me carry them. Despite the hassle, I continued because I wanted to be consistent and grow my small business.

Additional ko lang is Yung kapag masyado na nagastos yung sa schools ko may tendency na Minsan pati puhunan ko is nagagastos ko. And I had no choice na manghiram ulit sa mommy ko ng pang puhunan. It happened like 5 times or 6 times. But I never give up on it.

After three weeks, I was able to expand and add more products. My customers also increased — not only in my section, but also in other strands and sections like EIM(mga suki ko), CBF, my Fellow ABM students, and CSS, my teachers especially my Adviser ma'am Xhili, my Co-adviser ma'am Gualvez, and my FABM teacher ma'am Millie. Because of this, I was able to save money and sometimes I even cover our class contributions or school expenses from my own earnings.

Through this journey, I learned that being resourceful, hardworking, and consistent really pays off. Walang madali sa Buhay, lahat mahirap, but if your mindset is like "yes, madali lang toh sakin lahat" you have a positive thinking and may paparating na magandang future for  you. Even if you start small, you can achieve something bigger if you are patient and determined. Success does not come overnight, but with effort and faith, you will see results.

Business: Handmade Satin Ribbon Flowers

I started by experimenting with leftover ribbons at home . At first, it was just a creative hobby for my family , making small flowers for school projects and gifts. Later on, friends and relatives admired my work and began ordering, so i decided to open a small business.

‎

‎One of the biggest challenges that i overcome was mastering the craft because at first, my flowers didn’t look neat and realistic. I overcame this challenges through practice, watching tutorials, and improving my techniques. Another challenge was pricing, since handmade items takes more time but some people want cheap prices. I learned to value my work and market it as unique, personalized, and long-lasting compared to the fresh flowers.

‎In the end, I was able to build a small business where I can earn while doing something that  I can enjoy. My ribbon flowers are now used as gifts,  and even home decorations. Each piece I create carries both creativity, effort and even love.

‎I learned that patience and creativity can turn something simple materials into something more  meaningful.

Business: Cake

It all started when Ma’am Camile grouped us with the ABM strand for our Entrepreneurship subject. That’s when we planned what product would be good to sell and taste delicious. We decided on cakes, and when our ABM partners tasted it, they said it was really good and definitely something we could sell.

One of the biggest challenges we faced as CBF students was the budget, because we needed enough funds to make our product. The second challenge was the fear that our product might fail what if people wouldn’t like it or no one would buy it? To solve our problems, we decided to save money every day so that by the time our Entrepreneurship project came, we wouldn’t struggle with the budget. For the second challenge, we improved our product more and created ads to encourage people to buy.

In the end, it was a success. Even though we faced many challenges, we managed to handle them. We also made a small profit not too much, but just the exact target we were aiming for. We’re thankful to everyone who supported and bought our product.

In business, you don’t earn right away. There are days when sales are strong, and there are days when sales are weak. But if you have patience and trust in yourself, the right time will come for you to succeed in the world of business.

Business: Peer-fect Match, Peer-trait

During the school culminating activity, we offered services such as the "Peer-fect Match," a human slot machine, and "Peer-trait," on-the-spot portraits for students and teachers.

We started by brainstorming with my co-officers, prioritizing entertainment and interactive games for SCA2025. Then, we scheduled a meeting with our Club adviser, Mr. Antonio Manlapit to discuss our products/services, materials needed, resource locations, and budget.

One challenge we encounter was having to be excused from our classes to prepare for the event, which required coordination with our subject teachers to ensure we didn't fall behind. On the day of the event, it suddenly rained, and our booth got wet due to the small size of our tent. We needed to find a bigger tent, but it was hard to find a vehicle to transport it from another location. We contacted the barangay captain of burol and thankfully they offered to bring the tent to our school and to pick it up after the event.

In the end, it was a success. We earned not just money but also valuable memories of teamwork. Our experience during the event reminds me of the quote "Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." This quote shows our experience together as part or the Peer C A.R.E.S. Club. We create a goal and face challenges through our collective effort and support of my officers.
