Martina sells goods in the village of Marcos, Roxas, Isabela. She is married to Ricardo; they were blessed with three children, all of whom are married. Her income from her store really helps meet the needs of her grandchildren. She wants her business to make more of a profit so that she can continue to help her grandchildren.

Consequently, she wants to borrow PHP 10,000. It would serve as additional capital for her "sari-sari" (variety) store. Martina plans to buy additional goods for her store with the money. She is also planning to buy vegetables that she can sell in their village and thus have an additional source of income.
