This International Women's Day (March 8, 2019), let's take our hats [or crowns!] off to these female celebrities who were able to start and manage their own business.
Kris Bernal
Kris Bernal is a proud owner of her Korean BBQ Restaurant, House of Gogi, which she opened in 2018. She also launched her own lipstick line, She Cosmetics, the same year. Despite her busy schedule as a celebrity, Kris is hands-on with her businesses.

Jennylyn Mercado
Jennylyn Mercado's online cookie business, Chunky Dough, is such a huge hit! Did you know that she starts her day early to bake 700 to 800 cookies just so she could keep up with the orders?

Maine Mendoza
After endorsing the brand, Maine Mendoza took a risk and opened up her own McDonald's franchise in 2017. Her fast food franchise is located in her hometown of Barangay Sta. Clara, Santa Maria, Bulacan.

Glaiza de Castro
Did you know that Glaiza de Castro owns and manages her own travel agency? She started the Galura Travel Agency almost three years ago because she was encouraged by her sibling. This is the perfect business opportunity for Glaiza as she loves everything about traveling, from booking plane tickets and accommodations to making an itinerary and handling visa applications, this #GirlBoss does it all!
