Analyn Viscara

Analyn Viscara is from the village of Biasong. She is 32 years old. Analyn is married and has 2 infant-aged children. To make a living, Analyn owns and operates a fishing business. While not the only means for generating revenue, the main source of income for the business comes from harvesting and selling ocean-caught fish in the local community. Analyn has been engaged in her business for over 10 years and earns approximately 5,000 PHP a month for these activities.

In 2005, Analyn joined PMPC to gain access to financial services to help improve her living situation and ability to engage in business activities. Analyn successfully repaid a previous loan of 20,000 PHP from PMPC. This previous loan was used to to purchase fishing equipment, including hooks and nets. Analyn is requesting a new loan of 30000 PHP, which will be used to invest in expanding the business. This loan will be the eighth loan taken out by Analyn from PMPC. She plans to use the additional revenue generated from the business to improve the general living conditions of her family.
