It&#x27;s called Komella. That was a brand from the 80s to 90s. So, very popular siya back then. And then the business kind of plummeted noong early 2000s because the brand couldn&#x27;t compete with China-made products flooding the country. I&#x27;ve always wanted to revive the brand,&quot; pagbabahagi ni Dhanvan kay Karen Davila para sa &quot;DTI Asenso Pilipino&quot; segment ng programang &quot;My Puhunan: Kaya Mo!&quot;.Halos dalawang dekada ang nakalipas nang maisipan nila na muling gumawa ng mga bag nang ma-diagnose si Viktoria ng isang malubhang karamdaman.&quot;We did not realize that we had the capacity to do this if not because of a tragic situation which was I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, lymphoma,&quot; kuwento niya.Nagbigay-daan ang paggawa niya ng mga bag para maibsan kahit papaano ang pagsubok na pinagdadaanan niya sa kalusugan.Naging inspirasyon rin nila sa kanilang mga disenyo ang ama ni Dhanvan na bihasa sa paggawa ng mga ito.Gamit lamang ang maliit na puhunan, gumawa sila ng mga makukulay na bag gamit ang mga retaso ng tela na nakatambak lamang sa warehouse ng dati nilang pagawaan ng bag.Higit isang taon pa lang ang kanilang bag business pero umaabot na sa 800 hanggang 1,000 piraso ng bags ang nagagawa nila kada buwan.Para mas makilala pa ng marami ang kanilang produkto, tinutulungan sila ngayon ng Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), sa pamamagita ng kanilang &quot;One Town One Product (OTOP) program&quot; na mapabuti ang kalidad ng mga bag na ginagawa nila.Bukod pa rito mayroon umanong mga seminar at training na maaari nilang lahukan para magkaroon ng dagdag-impormasyon sa pagbebenta nito.&quot;We have linkage to finance which is I think is very very crucial in terms of expanding your market kasi kailangan talaga may dagdag kang kapital or puhunan when you venture out. We have marketing and promotional activities, as well as market access for all our MSMEs. So, as you may know it, we have lots of national trade fairs for this year,&quot; pagdedetalye ni Maya Arcega, Program Manager ng &quot;One Town One Product&quot; ng DTI.Para kay Viktoria, malaki ang pasasalamat niya sa kaniyang pamilya dahil sa suportang ibinigay ng mga ito sa kaniya lalo na nang siya ay magkasakit.Sa tulong ng mga bag na ginagawa nila, unti-unti nilang nabayaran ang kaniyang gamutan.&quot;Surprisingly, it really helped a lot. Because considering that we just started Feb of last year, within a few months, the growth was so big,&quot; ani Viktoria.Panoorin ang pagbabalik ng &quot;Asenso Pilipino&quot; ng Department of Trade and Industry sa &quot;My Puhunan: Kaya Mo!&quot; kasama si Karen Davila.

Muling nabigyan ng "second chance" ang bag business ng pamilya ni Dhanvan Saulo nang magkaroon ng malubhang karamdaman ang partner niyang si Viktoria Salazar.
