“Because of the intervention given by the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), I was able to finance my sari-sari store and a vulcanizing shop through the SEA-K. Now, with continuing efforts, I plan to put up a bigger shop for me, and for my children’s future,” said Arlene Teraytay Odtojan.

Arlene, 39, is a self-sufficient Pantawid Pamilya partner-beneficiary from Dapa, Siargao Islands, Surigao del Norte. She is married to Felizardo Borja Odtojan and blessed with two (2) children Junlyn and Jhunar.
