In an interview during DZRH&rsquo;s Public Service Hour, Maria Medina, one of the former beneficiaries of the pangkabuhayan showcase last year, recounted how this initiative had transformed her life.&nbsp;
"Okay na po ako. Noong dati po, wala po akong tulong galing sa inyo, sa gilid lang po ako ng kalye natutulog. Sapin-sapin, katron. Nung dumating sa akin ang tulong ninyo, iningatan ko po iyon," she shared.&nbsp;

Medina said she used the pangkabuhayan showcase to build a sari-sari store, and after four months, she was able to rent a small bedroom for her family.
"Hindi na po kami natutulog sa kalye... Okay naman, nakakakain kami ng maayos at nakakaupa kami ng bahay," the 60-year-old beneficiary said.&nbsp;
In her parting message, Medina advised this year's beneficiaries to take a good care of the pangkabuhayan showcase they will receive.
"Ingatan lang po, tapos ipon-ipon lang ng isang daan, isang daan sa isang araw. Makakaraos din, makakaupa rin kayo ng maliit na kuwarto at makakain ng maayos," she remarked.&nbsp;
