Madiskarte Moms PH First-ever Gawad Madiskarte 2022

To acknowledge and celebrate the efforts of Filipino mompreneurs, Madiskarte Moms PH will host its first annual awards ceremony – Gawad Madiskarte 2022: Pagkilala sa Tagumpay ng Madiskarteng Pinay in March 2022.

Recognizing mompreneurs' significant contribution to their families and the potential of online home enterprises to accelerate economic recovery, PLDT Home and a group of Filipino mompreneurs created Madiskarte Moms PH in September 2020.

Madiskarte Moms PH is an online community for moms who want to get a head start on their own online home businesses or who want to grow and expand existing side hustles. With over 98,000 members from across the country, Madiskarte Moms PH has grown into a safe forum for moms to discuss best practices, share experiences, and motivate one another to pursue their passions while also achieving financial independence. The group offers members a 24/7 virtual hub of relevant information and networking opportunities to assist mompreneurs in launching their own online home businesses.

Powered by PLDT Home Biz, The annual awards ceremony honors the Filipina entrepreneurial spirit. Gawad Madiskarte invites smart and stylish moms to a virtual celebration of mompreneurs who built and grew their internet enterprises despite the economic crisis armed only with their drive and personal diskarte. The special awarding ceremony takes place on March 8, 2022, International Women's Day, to encourage other moms and women to start their own home businesses.

Gawad Madiskarte introduces two main award categories: The Start-Up Division, which honors mompreneurs who have bravely started their online side hustles (at least six months operation) despite the challenges of the ongoing pandemic, and The Scale Up Division, which recognizes those who successfully started and maintained their businesses for at least 13 months.

Awards in the Start-Up category include Diskarteng Solid (Strongest Start-Up Business Model) for those who have developed a business model that reflects their vision and gives exceptional customer value; Diskarteng Malikhain (Most Innovative Product) for those whose creative minds have brought forth fresh and unique products and services; and Diskarteng Eco-Friendly (Most Green Business) for those who have made conscious efforts to be socially responsible and environmentally friendly in their business.

Meanwhile, the Scale-Up division includes awards for:

⦁ Diskarteng Angat (Fastest-Growing Business) for those who have achieved exceptional growth with their robust vision and strategy

⦁ Diskarteng Digital (Best Multi-Channel Business), for businesses that have capitalized on the benefits of a multi-channel approach

⦁ Diskarteng May Puso (Best Social Enterprise), for those whose goal meant giving back and empowering communities through their businesses.

The Scale-Up Division entrants are required to have either a physical or e-commerce shop, and supporting documents including a DTI Permit and Barangay Certificate.

A special award, the Diskarteng HomeBiz (Mompreneur’s Choice Award), will be given to the exceptional mompreneur whose business success story has greatly inspired others to do the same.

Gawad Madiskarte will award each winning mompreneur a P100,000 cash prize, a one-year PLDT Home Biz Plan, and a laptop to help them go further in their side hustle.

To add prestige to the event, Gawad Madiskarte has commissioned award-winning sculptor and contemporary artist Glenn Cagandahan for customized trophies as part of the major prizes. Cagandahan is known for his expressionist works featuring farmers, their families on carabaos, and other rural images that bring to mind the Filipino’s unwavering sense of hard work.
