Alvin's Pizza
Alvin started his first pizza place while he was still in school, in Cainta, Rizal. His pizza quickly became very popular, and a number of new shops opened trying to imitate Alvin’s success. Through the years, however, it is Alvin who has survived and opened another 3 outlets. Alvin smiles and says that “the secret of the success is on his pizzas’ dough”.
|
|
Most recently, with a loan from NPFC, Alvin started Tita Mommy’s Chicken Inasal, named after his mom. Alvin is hoping to keep on opening new outlets for both pizza and chicken inasal and is considering the idea of franchising his pizza to others.

BW Arts & Crafts
Rowena and Arleen used to work for one of the large christmas decorations manufacturers in Cogeo, Rizal. In 2006, they decided to start their own business and began working as a subcontractor to their previous employer. They have considerably grown their business since then, and today they employ directly around 25 people and sell their products to Pier 1 Imports. Before they met Negosyon Pinoy, they used to borrow from loan sharks to finance their working capital.
|

 |
Rowena and Arleen have developed a good partnership through the years: Rowena concentrates on the marketing and sales while Arleen focuses on production and design. Their next challenge is to diversify their products so that their sales are less seasonal.
