00:28They are working in all the departments of the company
00:32So they are in logistics, in inventory, in sales and marketing,
00:36and finance and HR, production, of course
00:41So they're all there and the idea is we kind of place them
00:45in departments that they are interested in
00:48and where we feel we can develop them the most
00:50All of us business managers also help in the mentoring and the tutoring
00:54and all these other things that, I guess they were void off when they were younger
00:59So a lot of parenting also from us managers

01:14Social enterprises sometimes they get confused
01:19and still try to rely very heavily on grants and foundations
01:22but that doesn't make you an enterprise anymore
01:25I think that makes you an NGO
01:27So I think what we are doing and what we are continuing to do

02:48'Di ba yung sa mga ibang college grad and meron sila is yung diploma nila sa school
02:53whereas kami, meron na kaming diploma sa school, meron pa kaming
