A taho vendor from Davao City uses his newly acquired bicycle, easing his daily operations.
For more than two decades, selling taho—a favorite Filipino sweet snack made with silken tofu, arnibal or sugar syrup, and sago pearls—has been the primary source of income for Charlie Aton from Davao City.
Every day—amid the scorching heat of the sun or gloomy weather—Charlie carries two aluminum buckets on a bamboo yoke on his shoulder, wandering along J.P. Laurel Avenue to earn a living.
Among his regular customers are employees of the Office of the Vice President (OVP)–Southern Mindanao Satellite Office, who later informed Charlie about Mag Negosyo Ta’ Day—one of the OVP’s flagship programs designed to provide assistance to Filipino entrepreneurs by granting additional venture capital.
With the assistance of the OVP-SMSO, Charlie submitted an application and was later granted ₱15,000 in capital, which he used to purchase a bicycle, easing his daily operations.
Through his newly acquired bicycle, the vendor now reaches more areas, increasing his daily income.
“Ang bike, ma’am, dako gayud kaayo og tabang. Bisan asa ko maabot nga area, makasangko gayud ko,” (The bicycle is such a big help, allowing me to reach more areas), Aton said.
In his message, Charlie expressed his gratitude for the assistance he received from the OVP and wished that the MTD program would continue to benefit more entrepreneurs across the country.

Mas lumago ang kabuhayan ng isang taho vendor sa Davao City matapos matanggap ang karagdagang puhunan na handog ng Tanggapan ng Pangalawang Pangulo sa pamamagitan ng Mag Negosyo Ta’ Day program.
Suki na ni Charline Aton—mahigit dalawang dekada nang magtataho—ang mga kawani ng OVP Southern Mindanao Satellite Office. Sila rin ang nagpaalam kay Charlie tungkol sa MTD program.
Matapos magsumite ng aplikasyon, ay nakatanggap ng magandang balita si Charlie mula sa OVP. Kabilang siya sa mga maliliit na negosyanteng pinagkalooban ng ₱15,000 na karagdagang puhunan—na kanyang ginamit sa pagbili ng bagong bisikleta.
Dahil sa bagong bisikleta, mas marami nang napupuntahang lugar si Charlie—na naging daan naman upang mas madagdagan ang kanyang kita kada araw.
“Malaking tulong po ito sa akin. Mas napalago ko ang aking negosyo at mas marami na po akong napupuntahang lugar dahil sa bisikleta,” saad ni Aton.
Nagpasalamat si Aton sa OVP sa tulong na kanyang natanggap. Umaasa naman siyang mas marami pang maliliit na negosyante ang makinabang sa programa.
Ang Mag Negosyo Ta’ Day ay kabilang sa mga flagship program ng OVP sa pamumuno ni Vice President Inday Sara Duterte. Layunin ng programa na magbigay ng suporta sa mga Filipino entrepreneurs. Sa ilalim ng programa, makakatanggap ng ₱15,000 ang mga kwalipikadong indibidwal, habang ₱100,000 naman ang matatanggap ng mga kwalipikadong organisasyon.
