Micro Businesses: How Mompreneurs Play An Important Part in the Economy
If you own a micro business, defined as a business with small set-ups earning anywhere between P500 and P5,000 a day, did you know that you’re actually contributing to the nation’s growth?
According to the National Statistics Office (2005), micro businesses comprise 91% of the country’s businesses. They’re vital to the growth of the Philippine economy.
These enterprises, which are mostly involved in wholesale and retail trade, are responsible for 32% GDP and are expected to generate 3 million new jobs.

Keeping this in mind, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) launched the PLDT KaAsenso to empower and enable progressive micro businesses, called MiniGosyos(Mompreneurs included), to increase their profits and maximize savings with the right communication and information tools they need.
