From its beginnings during the pandemic, the community has grown to more than 215,000 members, with over 25,000 women trained and equipped to start and scale their businesses.
More than just an awards event, Gawad Madiskarte 2025 serves as a platform to showcase inspiring success stories of Filipina entrepreneurs who prove that true business growth goes beyond profit—it’s about purpose, resilience, and community transformation.
Mompreneurs with inspiring stories are encouraged to join this year’s celebration and submit their entries before November 15, 2025, for a chance to gain national recognition and valuable business support.
