Being away constantly from your spouse and your children are always an everyday hardship for all our Modern day heroes. For mothers who are consistently had to travel back and forth to see their children, this is a struggle that nothing would compare. The thought of not being able to take care of them when they are sick is always heartbreaking for any mother. To put it, for a mother, being away from their children brings them the greatest of pains.
It takes a great deal of desperation, need, and, of course, bravery to be able to leave your children in the hands of your relatives or your husband alone. Sheryl Madayag Laloy is just one of those brave Filipina mothers who took the plane in search of a brighter future for her children. However, back in 2010 one of her two children got sick from Dengue with a 50/50 chance of survival. She decided that saving money for her children abroad would be a waste if being away with them also means not being able to take care of them when they needed her the most.
Before being an OFW, Sheryl graduated with the course of BS Commerce of the Central Philippine University (CPU). After her child recovered from Dengue, she decided to stop working abroad and stay here in the Philippines where she can take care of her children. To do this, she decided to open up a small business wherein she could be able to provide a steady flow of income for her and her family. We can say that she is no stranger in the world of business, considering that she did major in Banking and Finance.
She started with the capital of P10, 000 from the livelihood assistance program of the National Reintegration Center for OFWs. She used this money to open up a boarding house near her alma mater. It was a two-story apartment near CPU that she rents for students who are living far away from home.
However, the boarding house rental business isn’t that big, and it barely fills out all the rooms of the two-story building. Nevertheless, using the money from the boarding house rentals, she opened up another business, a travel business that caters to all traveling needs of their traveler customers. She slowly expanded this business with the help of her friends and family and was, later on, landed a deal with some corporate accounts. Sheryl didn’t stop there, from the two businesses that she is currently handling; she also opened an online store wherein she sells various items.
From the three businesses, she was able to have a comfortable income to meet all the needs of her children, which are now 14 and 12 years old.
Her story is an inspiration to all OFWs, and she is the living proof that working hard is the key to achieve your dreams.

She started with the capital of 10,000pesos and she used this money to open up a boarding house near to her alma mater??? I am puzzled by this….
Wow nice story…
How can a 10,000 pesos can construct a boarding house, this is a Hoax story
Abu Dhabi UAE katabi po ng Dubai
Wow nice…..hope i have my own…
Good example,nothing impossible for her bcos of her educational attainment..
Wow wish ko din makapagpatayo ng 2 storey boarding house sa halagang 10,000 pesos
I am an OFW since 2003, but i learned financial education last 2008 and started investing..at first, i was ask to save, minimize my cost of expenses and while studying real estate in Phils specifically Iloilo City, I decided to try buy apartment in Mandurriao with my savings and bank loans ( I also learned to use debts as a tool). As an OFW, i know how it feels to have lots of money (and most of us spends it all) but in the end, there’s always a need to go back home and live where our heart and family is. I would love to share my experiences how to break free and have a choice. Anybody is welcome to message me. I am currently in Iloilo City with my family for unpaid leave for 5 months.
Para pong napakaliit ng 10k para makapag pagawa ng 2 storey apartment..pwede po noon 1970 malaking halaga na ang 10k pero 2010 po..baka po pundasyon palang kulang na po ang 10k..
Pa proofread bago mag publish, thanks
10,000??? Are you in your greatest state of mind??? How the hell is she gonna make a 2 story apartment for such amount? Seriously even cement itself 10,000 pesos isn’t enough to make a 2 story building…not unless 10,000 US dollar…

10,000 dirhams maybe 🙂
its a fake
Tama ka perry inocencio
Baka mga 70s 80s kasya nayun pero sa panhon ngayon tatlong sakong bigas lang yun
nice story…pero at 10,000 pesos? paano ka magtatayo ng 2story building..kahit pa 70s or 80s..di pa rin…baka ibig sabihin..nag umpisa ng 10,000 pesos…nagnegosyo ng kung ano ano..then tumubo…ngaing 10M saka nagpatayo ng 2story building
10k???semento lang yan la pang buhangin at graba..
maganda un story paano mo nmn maaenggnyo un iba kung may imposible nmn sa kwento..
The Php10,000 was used to rent a house, na ginawang boarding house/paupahan para sa mga estudyante, yon po ang ibig sabihin nun…
Sa panahon ngayon kahit isa kang qualified ofw d ka nman makahiram ng puhunan sa owwa kailangan may pondo ka sa banko at kailangan may collateral kang ibibigay sa kanila gaya ng land title bago ka nila pautangin ng pang puhunan! Anong klaseng gobyerno ito tapos sabihin nila tumirik png sila sa mga ofw!
.life isn’t all about what u have right now but its all about how u will use everything u have at this moment to prosper and progress ur life..c ate ay isa LNG s ptunay nun..hope it will happen to me too..need to fucos and fixed everything..every single cents that I have I hope it will grow and hope I could do that..patience determination motivation self discipline self confident inspiration and hard work is the key..
Let’s just be happy po….and wish that all of us will have the best courage to invite all the blessings in the world. Let us see the good side of it and make this a good example whether its impossible or achievable…….It is not how much, how hard…or how easy..it is about our perseverance and determination no matter what…life is not easy but God is bigger than everything in this world. God bless us all!
yeah how it built a house for the amount of 10k?
Ang labo naman ng P10,000 na boarding house..tsk.
i think they were promoting the livelihood assistance program of NRC for OFW’s which is 10k that she added to her savings…..
10,000 pesos even in 2010 cannot even put up a toilet hehehe
unawain na lng nating yang author na yan, nagkakatol ata eh! lol
the author was exaggerating, a capital of 10k peso can’t build that boarding house…
Akala ko ako lng ang na windang sa hanging na kwento walang consistency pano nga naman makapagpatau ng bahay ng 10 k
kathang isip lang yata?… masyadong OA lang o baka nangyari noong 1970’s pa?
bka naman old story ito kc mura pa lupa noon.hindi klaro ang kuwento d2.madaming katanungan kaya hindi agad mapapaniwalaan ito.
Me too.mlaking katanungan kung paano nya naipatyo ung 10k peso sa two story boarding house..nung umuwi nga aq cr ko lng almost 20k na gastos q..ung ngsulat nmn s story nito hwag nmn masyadong gawing sobra..sa 10k sari sari store cguro pwede pa…
baka 10,000 dirhams
a 10k capital to start a boarding house,,,very impossible…go to facts and not fiction.
miracle 10k
10k?prang hndi nmn po yta tma kc xa materyales plng ang mamahal na khit noon pa mn hndi pa rin kasya ang 10k za 2 storey na b.hous cguro ng,open muna ng ibang besnes bgo ngpatayo nh b.hous
She started with 10 000 pesos and possibly increase his capital from her different business venture..amazing
Fake.
She used this money to open up a boarding house near her alma mater. It was a two-storey apartment near CPU “THAT SHE RENTS” for students who are living far away from home.
klaroha ba…10,000 ph.nakahimo og boarding house…lansang rana ba…
Ang hirap naman ata ng 10,000 pisos para makapagtayu ng boarding house na 2 story!.. Pero i wish kahit s gnung puhunan makapag umpisa ako ng small business.. Sana nga makahanap ako magandang compny ngayung taon para makapag ipun na ako…
To all whose reacting on how did she make a 2 storey apartment for 10k only, pakibasa po ng maayos. Ang sabi “it was a 2-storey apartment near CPU that she RENTED for students whose living far away from home”. Very inspiring story tho.
10,000.00 to open up a boarding house? KUmpletohin and detalye para alam natin pano nya pinagkasya ang 10,000.00 pagawa boardinghouse. kasi pag ganyan lang, tanga lang maniniwala.
I wish ako den mkapag patayo ng boarding house for 10.000 pesos? Dream ko magkaron ng ganitong negosyo sa pinas. Kc hnd habam buhay nasa abroad at malakas
