Madiskarte Moms PH (MMPH) — a community of women entrepreneurs — is set to honor outstanding mompreneurs (mommy entrepreneurs) at the Gawad Madiskarte.
The awards showcase the success stories of mompreneurs who have subverted conventional expectations to embrace their entrepreneurial spirit. Their businesses are innovative, creative, and run by very hardworking women who do double duty as the glue that holds the family together, run their household and their business.
Major categories for this year's Gawad Madiskarte include Diskarteng Angat (Fastest-Growing Business), Diskarteng Digital (Best Multi-Channel Business) and Diskarteng May Puso (Best Social Enterprise). Two major winners per category will be chosen from the Startup Division and Scale Up Division. The former are home or online businesses that recently started and show great potential while the latter are businesses that have been running for at least 13 months and are registered with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) or the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).
Special awards will also be given to three deserving finalists. These awards are Diskarteng Malikhain (Most Creative Business Branding), Diskarteng Pasulong (Most Innovative Product) and Diskarteng Home Biz (Mompreneurs' Choice Award).
The judges for this year's Gawad Madiskarte come from the business, telco, communications and creative industries: Maxine Loyola, AVP & Head of PLDT Home Marketing Public Relations, Influencer Marketing and Brand Advocacies; are entrepreneurs Jorge Wieneke and Jenny Wieneke, Mr. and Mrs. Negosyo and PLDT Home Biz ambassadors; Donna Nievera-Conda, Stratworks president and co-CEO; Maisie Littaua, Canva Philippines Head of Growth; and actress and businesswoman Marjorie Barretto.
Gawad Madiskarte also ushers in the third year of Madiskarte Moms PH as it welcomes more members to its current 162,000-strong base. An online community, MMPH manages a Facebook group and YouTube channel that give valuable insights into finding business opportunities for all moms, whether they are stay-at-home or have day jobs and are looking for a side hustle to augment the family income.
MMPH's online platforms also showcase the success stories of their members and how they can take advantage of social media to market and sell their products. But beyond digital interactions, MMPH is fostering economic growth in communities by nurturing a generation of mompreneurs who contribute to everyone's success.
Mompreneurs are doers, a force for positive change and empowerment. Two of the most heartfelt messages from their stories are that opportunities are everywhere and that inspiration can come from one's experience.
The Gawad Madiskarte 2023 will take place on Thursday, September 7.
