KMME-MME 2026 Series

Growth begins with the right mindset.

For Ms. Jerren Padayao of Montierra Tasty Bites, the KMME-MME journey became a reminder that entrepreneurship is not only about selling products—it is about maximizing resources, building discipline, understanding customers, and pursuing business with passion and purpose.

Through the modules on Entrepreneurial Mind-setting, Marketing Mindset, and Business Model Canvas, she learned the importance of focusing on what truly matters: knowing your market, creating value for customers, setting clear goals, and continuously improving your business strategies. 💡

Her experience reflects how the KMME-MME Program empowers MSMEs to think smarter, market better, and grow stronger—one lesson at a time.

Thank you, Ms. Jerren Padayao, for sharing your inspiring entrepreneurial journey with us!
