Starting a business remains a powerful aspiration for many Filipinos, with a recent Boston Consulting Group (BCG)1 survey showing that 56% hope to become entrepreneurs—seeing it as a pathway to financial freedom and greater control over their time. This ambition is especially strong among Gen Z, who are eager to build something of their own, while more Filipino fathers are also seeking flexible work arrangements that allow them to provide for their families without sacrificing their presence at home.
Personal Collection (PC), one of the leading Filipino-owned direct selling companies in the country, has long championed inclusive entrepreneurship, providing equal opportunities for every Filipino to pursue a better life, whatever their age, gender, or background.
With no capital required to register, PC dealers can start right away and enjoy up to 25% discounts on high-quality, everyday essential products across seven categories—including home care, personal care, and healthcare—along with free training to help grow their business. Through its empowering business model, PC enables aspiring micro-entrepreneurs to earn a sustainable income, gain financial independence, and manage their own time.
This commitment to inclusive entrepreneurship is reflected in the success stories of PC dealers across the country.
Millennial professional Robertson Recamunda shifted from employment to becoming a PC Great Life Executive, driven by his determination to own a business at a young age. His willingness to try new things and continuously learn helped him build a thriving PC business, which now provides him with both financial stability and a healthy work–life balance.
At just 21, Gen Z influencer July Anne Miro has used her online influence and leadership skills to grow her PC business. Confident in the opportunity PC provides, she proudly shares, “Hindi ako nahihiya na nasa PC kami, kasi kung wala ang Personal Collection, pa’no na kami?” This showed how entrepreneurship has empowered her to support her family while building her own future.
Magna cum laude graduate Aengel Serrano chose to continue her late mother’s PC business, turning grief into motivation. With the guidance and encouragement of her PC family, she has become a Great Life Executive, building on her mother’s legacy while creating her own path to financial independence.
Meanwhile, former tricycle driver Jayson Ramos, now a PC Great Life Executive, proves that direct selling knows no gender or stereotype. Despite being teased by fellow drivers, he remained determined to build a better life for his family. “Minsan, kinakantiyawan ako ng mga kapwa ko tricycle driver. Pero para sa pamilya ko, kaya kong gawin ang lahat,” he shared.
“Direct selling is an excellent opportunity for first-time entrepreneurs as it offers flexibility, networking opportunities, and helps develop communication and marketing skills. Personal Collection has seen how this business model empowers people from all walks of life, and aims to inspire even more individuals to start their direct selling journey and build brighter futures with PC,” shared Jun Evangelista, Chairman of Personal Collection.
