One More Day with Shayn

Ms. Maria Regina “Shayn” L. Pacifico is the Senior Director of Operations of ASA Philippines. She has been with the organization for almost 16 years already. The on and off lockdowns of barangays have been affecting their operations and their branches are having a hard time servicing their clients. That’s why she is thankful to ‘victories’ no matter what the size is.

One such victory according to her is the Restart Me loan that helped finance a lot of their affected clients this pandemic. As more small businesses re-open, the Restart Me loans provided additional capital which served as a great opportunity for the Nanays and Tatays to continue. 

“No one shall be left behind.  We Filipinos have strong faith and are known to be resilient even before this pandemic. We always find ways to make a living - from jobless to online sellers, from business failure (bankruptcy) to a new business and other incredible ways. That’s why we should always listen to somebody else’s story most especially the greatly affected ones. We should try to give back and be a blessing. There’s always hope for a better tomorrow”, said Ms Shayn.
