Putting up her own sari-sari store and eatery in February 2010 was a huge blessing for Elvira, as it has helped in paying for her children’s education, and also an endeavor that’s easier for her to manage as a housewife. She shares that the secret to her thriving business is by simply being kind to customers, and of course, wise budgeting. Aside from being a wife, mom, and businesswoman, Elvira is also active in local organizations and community works.
