Caraga Buko and Kakanin Vendor Works Daily to Send Her Children to School (Mindanawon S1E6)

Rebecca Lagungan, a proud Mandaya from Caraga, has been selling buko and kakanin every day for three years to support her children’s education. Coconuts are displayed daily at her stall, alongside cassava delicacies, maruya, turon, and other homemade snacks prepared for students and neighbors. What started with borrowed capital during a difficult time slowly grew into a steady small business through discipline, careful budgeting, and perseverance. 🥥 As a proud Mandaya, she believes that hard work and determination are part of her identity. Her greatest motivation is simple and clear. She wants to see her children finish their schooling and build a better future. This is a story of perseverance, community support, and a mother’s unwavering commitment to her family. ❤️📚
