Arminda Podador

Arminda owns and manages a restaurant near the dockyards of Manila International Containers Terminal (MICT). She likes working at the restaurant hands-on because she gets to meet a lot of people. She earns a net income of P 60,000 a month. What really makes her proud about being in business is her ability to employ other people. Her restaurant has three assistants.

Since joining the Center for Community Transformation (CCT) Credit Cooperative in 2007, Arminda has learned the value of saving for the future. Just recently, Arminda ventured into shipping bananas from Davao which she delivers to fruit vendors in the nearby market. She has found this business to be very rewarding, considering her restaurant’s location near the seaport.

Arminda needs a loan of P 50,000 as additional capital for her new venture, shipment of bananas. She also wishes to open another restaurant in another area.
