Micro,
small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) make up 99.5% of business
establishments in the Philippines, driving employment, innovation, and economic
growth. But did you know that more than half of them are owned by women?
A
report by the Asian Development Bank
states that a remarkable 55.8% of MSMEs in the country are owned or led by
women. Of which, women entirely own 79%, while 19% are majority-owned by women.
Yet, the same report says
that despite their strong presence, women-led businesses face barriers in
financing, gender bias, balancing responsibilities, and digital adoption.
Despite these challenges, women entrepreneurs continue to thrive and contribute
immensely to the economy.
Personal Collection’s commitment to women’s
entrepreneurship
Leading
Filipino-owned direct selling company Personal Collection (PC) has long been a
champion of women’s empowerment through business ownership. Majority of its
million-strong dealers being women, PC built a community that uplifts and
supports Filipinas in their journey toward financial independence. Their direct
selling model provides an accessible, low-risk opportunity for women to start
and scale their businesses without the financial and operational barriers of
traditional enterprises.
By
keeping startup costs low, PC ensures that women can access high-quality,
in-demand products, making it easier for them to begin on their entrepreneurial journey.
Aside from providing the
opportunity to start a business with minimal capital, PC also empowers women to
achieve financial independence by
allowing them to earn based on their efforts and strategies. This financial
freedom boosts their confidence, enabling them to break through gender biases,
pursue personal goals, support their families, and create a better future for
themselves and their loved ones.
Moreover, PC offers
comprehensive training and mentorship
in sales, leadership, and business management, equipping women with essential
skills to thrive in a competitive market even in online selling platforms to
help them grow and expand their businesses.
Why
women’s success is everyone’s success
The success of women is
not just about individual achievement—it has a profound impact on families and
the society as a whole. When women
succeed, their families prosper, their communities thrive, and they inspire younger
women to dream bigger and strive for more.
Personal Collection
recognizes that women are not just entrepreneurs—they have lives beyond their
work. PC promotes flexibility, understanding that women juggle multiple roles,
from being mothers to pursuing their passions. By empowering women in all aspects
of life, PC drives their success in business and strengthens their roles in the
community and the economy.
“At Personal Collection,
women are the heart and soul of our business—majority of our dealers are women,
and their success is our success. We’ve built more than just a business, we’ve
created a movement that empowers women to lead, earn, and achieve their dreams
on their own terms. When we uplift women, we uplift families, communities, and
ultimately, the entire nation," Personal Collection Chairman, Jun
Evangelista said.
