What Motherhood Taught Me About Running a Business

     One afternoon at our café, I was busy clearing and wiping down tables after our customers finished their meals, replying to a brand email on my phone. As I looked around, I saw Kenzo quietly doing his homework at one of the tables. Now and then, he would look up, smile at me, and continue writing. It was such a simple moment, but it made me pause and reflect on how far we've come.

     Years ago, I wasn't sure I could be both a good mom and an entrepreneur. Today, I still don't have everything figured out, but moments like this remind me I don't have to be perfect. I just have to do my best every day for my family, our small café, and my work as a content creator. Looking back, I realize that many of the lessons I learned as a mom have also made me a better business owner.

PLDT Home Connects Camotes Island to More Digital Possibilities

     When people think of Camotes Island, beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters, caves, and a slower island pace often come to mind. But beyond being a favorite destination for travelers looking for a quieter tropical escape, Camotes is also home to families, students, entrepreneurs, and communities who are part of an increasingly digital world.

     Now, PLDT Home is bringing its fiber network to more families in Camotes Island, expanding reliable broadband connectivity across the municipalities of San Francisco, Poro, and Tudela. Known for its powdery white-sand beaches, underground caves, and rugged cliff-jumping spots, Camotes Island is often called the “Lost Horizon of the South.” Its laid-back charm makes it an appealing destination for those who want to slow down and enjoy a more peaceful island experience. At the same time, staying connected has become an important part of everyday life. From online classes and working from home to running a small business, shopping online, accessing government services, or simply keeping in touch with loved ones, reliable internet can open up many possibilities.

How Shared Streaming Brings Filipino Families Closer

     There was a time when TV night was a much-anticipated family tradition, long before everyone had a personal screen on their phone, laptop, or tablet. Watching television meant gathering in the living room at the same time, squeezing onto one sofa, sharing a bowl of popcorn or chips, and experiencing every plot twist, cliffhanger, funny moment, and even commercial break together.

     Over the years, however, personalized algorithms, individual feeds, and endless scrolling slowly turned entertainment into a more solitary experience. Everyone could watch whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, often from their own corner of the house.

7 Simple Habits That Make Family Life Easier

     Long before becoming a mom, I imagined parenthood would be defined by the big milestones: first words, the first day of school, birthdays, and family vacations. But once I became a parent, I realized that the little decisions we make every day have the biggest impact on our family. Should I cook at home or order food after a busy day? Do we really need this purchase? Can we choose something that gives us better value?

     As a work-from-home mom, digital content creator, and small café owner, I wear many hats every day. My mornings often start with answering emails while preparing breakfast, followed by creating content in between household chores. By evening, I make sure to set work aside and spend quality time with my husband and our son, Kenzo. Life can get busy, but I've learned that practical parenting is about making thoughtful everyday choices that help our family save time, stay organized, and make the most of our budget.
