Currently, Anita supplies folders, envelopes, and paper bags to Kristan Educational Supplies, one of the two leading office and school supply stores in General Santos.  In order to augment her earnings, most especially during times of low demand for paper supplies, Anita ventured also into sourcing out of scrap materials like plastics, empty gallons, containers, tin can labels, sacs, tuna cans, and cartons from big tuna factories in General Santos.

Meanwhile, scrap materials like cooking oil cartons are recycled into different shapes and sizes. Plastics, cellophanes, tin cans and various containers are also supplied to some of the big companies in Mindanao for recycling and other purposes.

She claims that it is all by God’s grace that the business has grown and there is just “no stopping” for her.  Within this year, Anita intends to buy a larger piece of land where she will have her storage warehouse constructed.  She also aims to purchase a six-wheeler truck that would ensure better delivery service to Davao and farther areas.
