For almost two decades now, 60-year-old Mary Magaling of Mandaluyong has relied on her sari-sari store to provide for her family. But just like other small business owners, she found herself on the brink of bankruptcy when the pandemic struck.

“Konting-konti nalang po, talagang magsasara na dapat ako,” Magaling said. “Sobrang hirap po ng sitwasyon ngayon dahil walang panggastos ang mga tao.”

“Marami rin nagpapa-load sa akin para may pantawag sa mga pamilya nila na nasa ibang lugar,” she added. “Mabuti nalang mas marami nang nakakapag-Internet ngayong pandemic. Hindi gaano nahihirapan ‘yong mga nawalay sa pamilya.” Last February 21, Globe President & CEO Ernest Cu and his team visited #BrigadangAyalaKaakay beneficiaries at San Roque Parish in Mandaluyong.

Meanwhile, Globe Executive Vice President for Channel Management Bernard Llamzon said he is proud of the resilience Globe partners like sari-sari store owner Mary Magaling has displayed throughout the two years our country has been adjusting to the global pandemic.
