This entrepreneur from Laguna proves that if there’s a grill, there’s a way to success!
“Ecobriqs started [at] year 2019. Actually zero ‘yung naging puhunan ko for that business. As in wala talaga akong nilabas. I only have the passion and the idea to put up my own business. So this passion and this idea, I have introduced it to different investors. And then nagustuhan nila ‘tong idea na ‘to. So they [were] the ones who funded the business,” the 26-year-old entrepreneur said.
“So from the six digits, nag negative ka. Malaki talaga ‘yung naging impact ng pandemic. It’s hard to maintain if wala kang additional income. May mga times. Lalo na kapag end of the month, ayan na ‘yung bayarin. Hindi maiiwasang isipin mong i-let go mo nalang kaya,” she recalled. “Parang pandemic, huminto ‘yung oras ng tao eh. Lahat nasa bahay lang. Parang huminto talaga ‘yung buhay mo. Pati trabaho mo huminto. Biglang nawala. Sarado ‘yung mga restaurants, sarado ‘yung business,” MJ shared.
They are currently working with different local communities in Zamboanga, where the raw materials are located. Ecobriqs also has a warehouse in Marikina that delivers charcoal products in Luzon.
