Jocelyn Fellogan

Jocelyn Fellogan is from the village of Curvada, Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur. She is 40 years old and is married with three school-aged children. To make a living, Jocelyn owns and operates a business venture in the retail sector operating a "sari-sari" or general store. She sells both food and daily use products in this local community store and has been engaged in her business for over a year, earning approximately 2,500 PHP a month..

In 2009, Jocelyn joined GDMPC to gain access to financial services. She wished to help improve her living situation and to increase her ability to engage in business activities. Jocelyn is requesting a loan in the amount of 5,000 PHP, which will be used to purchase additional products to sell. This will be the first loan taken out by Jocelyn from GDMPC. She plans to use the additional revenue generated from the business to improve the general living conditions of her family and to pay tuition for her children.
