Ikr, she's awesome!!:) like I'm going marry a girl like her one day!! The attitude and pure humbleness is very attractive, not to mention her beauty!! I must build more~ I don't want too, but looks as if I must break myself down completely and build from there!! I've changed a lot, but not enough in my opinion to achieve that which I want!! The struggle is real:) what does it take to get there? If it takes me lifetimes I'm going to unearthed this logic in me~ well, onwards I suppose!!:)
Yan ang Gina tawag nlng investors..so kung wla taong lakas loob mag invest..wla tlgang trabaho ang maiibigay ng govt natin..kundi assistant lng..rasyon or tulong..kya dnt blame the govt..
Better than the rich men and corrupt politicians in the country. Wow! She's an inspiration to all women and a challenge to men. :) im so happy. Now i can sleep well.. lol!
This is one of the best example of Filipinos who really make a difference in the life of his/her fellowmen. She does not judge, but she affirms and uplifts. That is a true Filipino spirit.
flibbertygibbet i tell u i have never seen in a country where the young and older girls work so hard to keep their family well fed and kept. Amazing country of beauty yet so sad
Amazing how it's the man/Woman on the street improving lives and not the dumb useless politicians who just spend billions on weapons and guns to kill more people!!
I totally LOVE this woman!....what a blessing you are...and yes giving these woman..Dignity! . That is just as important as money. You and this wonderful rags to riches concept has touched my heart all the way to Canada. .. outstanding video from the Philippines.
Other than the hard work of these women I think what I was most inspired by was how young this girl is, running this entire operation. No doubt she comes from an affluent family and probably had the financial backing to run an operation such as this, it is still inspiring that she chose to do this with her life and at such a young age. Similar projects are run in other Asian countries as well, such as Pakistan, where designers have sewing and bead work done by women in villages and in China where similar "scrap" blankets are sold. More power to all the people running such operations.
Why are there race comparisons here like filipino-chinese is way better than pure filipinos etc.."there are no such things." i know that some chinese are business minded people but that doesn't mean that people with this blood are better than other races. There are some stupid chinese too that are impossible to be like her. I believe she was just raised by her parents the proper way and teachings with correct moral values because it's obvious she has such beautiful idea that comes from the heart and she applies it producing good fruit. Race has nothing to do with what she's doing.
So true, it's the raring up ( how you are programed) plus "the vision in life", and also if you like what your doing and passionate in it.. it's your calling. Like, it should always be not only you will benefit but also others.
This kind of story should be on the news everyday to inspire and give hope to other people. Unfortunately the local media is more interested in featuring young teleserye loveteams doing this and that
This is a wonderful story. The empowerment of women is what's needed to escape the grinding poverty. It's so clear the amount of experience that is available. The talent pool is amazing. Absolutely fantastic to see. A great story.
It is wonderful and inspiring to see Reese empowering women to improve their lot in life. The women she is helping show genuine pride and a sense of accomplishment in what they do. This project gives both Reese and the women a sense of purpose and a valid reason to get up in the morning. This project also uplifts them and their country as sales reach global markets. The world is blessed with people like Reese, an angel on earth.
wow.....this is so cool. At first she had a big heart, and then she started to be creative and it worked. Who in the world could think tat those rags could be sold to the rich? Its really Amazing.....God bless you more.
I love it. No matter who we are or where we are from, we all want better. We have to look past zip codes, ethnicity, race, etc and understand that we all want and deserve better. It's greed and selfishness that keeps people back. There is enough to go around but we and governments must be willing to be selfless as she has done. This is inspirational.
jaxx I don't believe a corrupt government can back this up... It started without the government.... It will keep on without the government.... I don't believe in that government anymore.
We need more community leaders like this in the world. What a great story, I wish there were more people like this to empower not just women, but those struggling in the developing world as a whole.
Very good to see them happy to do all this like one. Lady said doing this at home she can looking after their children’s at the same time very good for them to be happy with out going to the dump to get the rubbish and the smell thank you for sharing Bless you all love to see you all happy.
Hell - it would take a an entire collaboration of psychologists and sociologists to alter the state of mind of an entire country that spent - how many generations of a life lived in poverty and oppression?
The Sky is the Limit for these Ladies and Families too. You can see how much pride they take in making the pieces. May they all be blessed with Continued Success.
Thank you for the help to the woman and families to not be drawen into seling them selfs or the kids to make it through the night! and give pride to all who take part !God Bless you and all who help the ones find there Way!
Most Americans can learn a valuable lesson by watching this video. Even those at the bottom of the economic ladder are fluent in at least two languages.
+XMrRusherJamMCX And a point Lawn is bringing up is the fact Filipinos HAVE to learn English, even in their own country, because its the language Americans speak. People at the bottom of the American economic ladder don't have to know another language, they just have to get off their butts and hussle
+Ivette Flores Not quite so, unless your country has laws requiring it. Your buddy, John Lawn, is just a whining little cry baby that wants something for nothing. If you, like your buddy, can't accept an honest compliment, well, fuck you, too.
I do not think god had anything to do with it - the catholic church has contributed to the poverty of The Philippines because of their stand on birth control
this lady is a true saint her entrepreneurialism and kind generous heart working together to change the lives of her country women and there families , I really enjoyed this video , showing that there is hope for there poverty stricken places and a way out for at least some ....god bless
***** that's true. but anybody who isn't in America, has an accent. ask an American what a Canadian sounds like. or a Filipino fresh off the boat.(FOB)
Wow, more power to her, what she is doing not only raises more hopes to women but also adding to the wealth of the country as well. GOD bless, keep up the good work.
I think it's great how the women have the opportunity to stay at home and raise their kids. The PI sends a lot of people abroad, this may help financially, but a lot of families suffer. There are a lot of kids growing up without proper guidance. Kudos to Ms. Fernandez and her company.
Exciting possibilities already and more to come! KUDOS to Reese and to all the participating women: this video makes me very happy for them. Thank you for posting it.
You've come along way batch mate Therese Fernandez.. you're not only talented but you have a good heart.. fun fact about her: she sings very well.. we went to the same school in high school and same school for voice lessons..
I've watched many videos of poverty in the Philippines and by far I think this is one of the most encouraging results of an idea to begin rags to riches. I just hope the Philippine government won't mess it up but take note of their success.
This inspiring stories makes me love more the pilipino people, two times I've been there and besides the conditions of their living they have a winning mentality and that is what making their country the rising power that they are today
This is a heart warming story someone who is truly helping the community, the only unfortunate downside of this is that the companies that they are getting their scrap fabric from might cut off the supply and force them to pay for fabric. However there is a chance the company they are selling the rags to might step in and provide scrap fabric for them.
This is a brillant video. Anyone who has been and lived in pi knows that any success for ordinary people is miracle. Ordinary people in pi work very hard and have no one to turn to for help. Good on them. We should wish them every success.
The Philippines should have more like her!, and the Philippine government must support and encourage this action. There are always ways and means to survive, as long as you don't succumb to helplessness and laziness...
She created more jobs then the government has ever done there.
Ikr, she's awesome!!:) like I'm going marry a girl like her one day!! The attitude and pure humbleness is very attractive, not to mention her beauty!! I must build more~ I don't want too, but looks as if I must break myself down completely and build from there!! I've changed a lot, but not enough in my opinion to achieve that which I want!! The struggle is real:) what does it take to get there? If it takes me lifetimes I'm going to unearthed this logic in me~ well, onwards I suppose!!:)
she;s cute
Yan ang Gina tawag nlng investors..so kung wla taong lakas loob mag invest..wla tlgang trabaho ang maiibigay ng govt natin..kundi assistant lng..rasyon or tulong..kya dnt blame the govt..
dont blame the government?
how many jobs would the price of Imelda Marcos' shoes have created?
Opals 94 yeaaaaaaaa that's just being exaggerated but i spread no hate, i really love her work and stuff 😍😍😍
I love this woman 😄 God bless her 😃 Let's make the world a better place 😄
Reece is such an angel....
The bags and purses that are made are a beauty
Better than the rich men and corrupt politicians in the country. Wow! She's an inspiration to all women and a challenge to men. :) im so happy. Now i can sleep well.. lol!
That's what we get when we learn how to make lemons into lemonade, i want to be surrounded with people like her.
What do you mean "challenge to men"?
how about we put aside gender roles... she is an inspiration to all ----both men and women
This is one of the best example of Filipinos who really make a difference in the life of his/her fellowmen. She does not judge, but she affirms and uplifts. That is a true Filipino spirit.
mingteede
Funny how educating and empowering women actually tends to improve their family lives time and again no matter what country it is.
flibbertygibbet i tell u i have never seen in a country where the young and older girls work so hard to keep their family well fed and kept.
Amazing country of beauty yet so sad
Amazing how it's the man/Woman on the street improving lives and not the dumb useless politicians who just spend billions on weapons and guns to kill more people!!
Sooooo trrrruuuuueeeee
Despite of Poverty, The good thing in the Philippines is they know how to recycle and help the environment.
im sorry but how you dislike this?! the video is so inspiring!
This story makes me smile. Gives hope to the hopeless...
Real enterprise as opposed to hopeless change we get.
I totally LOVE this woman!....what a blessing you are...and yes giving these woman..Dignity! . That is just as important as money. You and this wonderful rags to riches concept has touched my heart all the way to Canada. .. outstanding video from the Philippines.

I agree with you.

Almost all Filipinos have Chinese blood
As a Filipino and Chinese, the financial gain we have now was thanks to pure Filipinos :)
There are billions of chinese in China, if they were indeed this helpful, there would be no poverty in the Philippines
you are very talented women .... Filipinos are very creative.
This kind of story should be on the news everyday to inspire and give hope to other people. Unfortunately the local media is more interested in featuring young teleserye loveteams doing this and that
Great story. Continued blessings for this program.
I would love buy this stuff...this woman is what empowerment is all about
may God be with her
the world need people like her-people with a clean hearth and mind

God bless this lady who had helped these people lived more in a dignified lives they truly deserved and more. Such an inspirational story.
This is a wonderful story. The empowerment of women is what's needed to escape the grinding poverty. It's so clear the amount of experience that is available. The talent pool is amazing. Absolutely fantastic to see. A great story.
incredible
Great work
Inspirational! God bless her and all the women who have helped to make the bags. This is how you inspire and grow to help your community!
For someone from a country who never achieved anything good I must to admit this is an epic act of heroesm
Beautiful.
Just fucking beautiful! :)
We need more people like this in the developing countries.
What an inspiration!
It is wonderful and inspiring to see Reese empowering women to improve their lot in life. The women she is helping show genuine pride and a sense of accomplishment in what they do.

I nominate her for nobel prize
I love it. No matter who we are or where we are from, we all want better. We have to look past zip codes, ethnicity, race, etc and understand that we all want and deserve better. It's greed and selfishness that keeps people back. There is enough to go around but we and governments must be willing to be selfless as she has done. This is inspirational.
Such an inspiring story and this woman is incredible.
What a beautiful soul , God bless her :)

Beautiful... I just hope it really is the way it looks. It'll be interesting to see how this evolves...
She is awesome and brilliant 👍😊

We need more community leaders like this in the world. What a great story, I wish there were more people like this to empower not just women, but those struggling in the developing world as a whole.

I've watched many videos of poverty in the Philippines and by far I think this is one of the most encouraging results of an idea to begin rags to riches. I just hope the Philippine government won't mess it up but take note of their success.
Makes me feel glad & proud to see the success of fellow Filipinas. Bless them!

That's a First Class Miss Universe answer. Such an inspiring young woman.
The Philippines should have more like her!, and the Philippine government must support and encourage this action. There are always ways and means to survive, as long as you don't succumb to helplessness and laziness...
So inspiring... Hope everyone has a heart like hers. *thumbsup*
She is not only a good business woman also very eloquent !
