Mary Joyce Montalbo is a thirty-three (33) year old mother a child and the sole proprietor of Monarj Footwear. Joyce had worked as a Customer Service Representative for a year after graduating from Hotel and Restaurant Management course. She got into the footwear business when she married Mark Ryan, who was already into the manufacturing of footwear. Monarj Footwear started in 2006 by manufacturing and supplying slippers to different stores and outlets around Liliw, Laguna and eventually ventured into making shoes. Experiencing low purchase orders after a year of production, Joyce never give up, went to market the footwear to malls until she had gathered purchase orders from the malls she went into. In 2012, Monarj Footwear obtained their own outlet for their own footwear production. Currently, Monarj Footwear is employing six (6) workers where half are females. Her husband still manages productions. Joyce hopes to gain more purchase orders and outlets for their expansion. Lendahand partner's NPFC is supporting Monarj footwear in acquiring additional working capital to boost the production and support for the incoming orders.
