From Side Hustle to Spotlight: Why Every Mompreneur Should Join Gawad Madiskarte 2025

To all moms who stay up late completing orders after putting their kids to sleep…
To all moms who aspire to grow their small business into something bigger…
This one’s for you.

Since 2022, Gawad Madiskarte has honoured thousands of mompreneurs and awarded over ₱2.5 million in prizes. Ang bongga, diba? But what really makes this event unique are the inspiring stories and the community. 

I’ve been part of Madiskarte Moms PH since day one. I watched it grow from a small Facebook group into this big, supportive family of mompreneurs. But last year was my first time attending the Gawad Madiskarte awarding ceremony—and to be honest, I didn’t expect it to be so emotional. 

I wasn’t even nominated, but I felt like a winner just by being there. Listening to the stories of moms who started with simple side hustles and then watching them walk on stage as awardees gave me goosebumps. It helped me realize that I don’t have to go through this path alone and that my dreams aren’t too small.

The event had a wonderful vibe. Moms were cheering for each other, families clapped proudly from the audience, and winners cried tears of joy on stage. It wasn’t just an awards night, it was a beautiful celebration of motherhood, hard work, and creativity. It was a reminder that moms who hustle deserve to be celebrated too.

That’s what Gawad Madiskarte is all about. It’s proof that being a mom and being an entrepreneur can go hand in hand. And it’s a reminder that your hustle, no matter how small it feels right now, deserves to be seen and celebrated.
