Annabelle Bayan

Annabelle Bayan, 33, hails from Silang, Cavite. Her 35-year-old husband, Danny, works for a private security agency. They have three school-aged children.

Annabelle buys old cars and sells them with a little price mark-up after a few touches of new paint and other accessories. But she makes more earnings from her computer shop. She earns at least 20,000 Philippine pesos a month out of these combined businesses.

She joined the Center for Community Transformation (CCT) Credit Cooperative in 2005. She started with only two personal computers. With loans from CCT, she now has five personal computers. She was also able to purchase two tricycle units from her profits.

Now on her 13th loan cycle, Annabelle needs a loan of P45,000 for the expansion of her business. She will buy additional computers for her computer shop. She also wants to try buying and selling motorbikes.
