The complete list of Circle for Excellence Awardees, including 13 other entrepreneurs, was first announced on September 20.

The Figari Entrepreneur of the Year Award is given to individuals who created their businesses from scratch and built them to a larger reach, provided that it highlights service and products, employment for Filipinos, and extension across the country. 

The FEU alumna started her business from square one, now with more than 50 branches nationwide.
