CARD Indogrosir opens 100th branch in Cavite to continue empowering local sari-sari stores

CARD Indogrosir Inc., the grocery distributor arm of CARD MRI in partnership with Indonesia’s Salim group, opened its 100th branch in Trece Martires, Cavite on July 31, 2026, serving local households and microentrepreneurs.

As commercial convenience stores and shopping marts continue to expand across urban communities, CARD Indogrosir’s 100th store is strategically located in Trece Martires to help sari-sari store owners stay competitive. By providing wholesale products at lower prices, the branch expects to serve over 2,000 sari-sari store owners and other related businesses in the area.

Sari-sari stores remain essential to daily Filipino life, offering tingi (small-quantity) purchases and informal credit for families trying to stretch tight budgets. Beyond convenience, these neighborhood stalls also serve as vital social hubs for local communities.

“Sari-sari stores remain the heartbeat of the Filipino neighborhood,” said CARD Indogrosir Executive Vice President Frederick Nicasio Torres. “We have supported them for a long time, and we will continue doing so because they are the backbone of local economies. They sustain the communities around them.”

To help store owners restock more easily and purchase inventories at lower prices, CARD Indogrosir offers digital ordering and direct doorstep delivery through the CARD Ottokonek app.

“Reaching our 100th branch in just three years allows us to respond more deeply to the needs of local microentrepreneurs,” shared CARD Indogrosir Business Development Head Jeffrey Rilles. “When we help sari-sari stores, mobile vendors, and local food carts thrive by giving them the support to stand tall against competition, we are helping build resilient, self-sustaining local economies across our communities. ”

Beyond this, CARD MRI also provides financial services to give store owners access to capital and business loans, helping them grow and stand their ground against larger retail chains.

CARD Indogrosir Executive Vice President Mr. Frederick Nicasio Torres, Distribution Center Head Pak Sayed Maksalmina, and CARD Ottokonek General Manager and Business Development Head Jeffrey Rilles led the branch opening. CARD MRI Managing Director Mr. Aristeo A. Dequito and Trece Martires Mayor Gemma Lubigan, along with other representatives from the local government unit, graced this important milestone.

During the opening, the branch offers Buy 1 Take 1 deals on selected products. It holds program activities such as Zumba dancing, free product tastings, and an afternoon caravan of raffle games.

Since opening its pioneer store in San Rafael, San Pablo City, Laguna in 2023, CARD Indogrosir has expanded its stores across the CALABARZON, Bicol Region, and Oriental Mindoro. The 100th branch is located at Lot 3341 D-2-E, Marcius Avenue, Barangay Lapidario, Trece Martires, Cavite, and is open to walk-in wholesale shoppers and the general public.

Three designers. Three opening walks. And one young idol who is quietly becoming a familiar face at the front of Vietnam's fashion runways.

At Vietnam Wedding Week 2026, Dylan of UPRIZE stepped out as the first face for Luu Viet Anh's FALVAON presentation, VÀNG ẢNH VÀNG ANH. It was a brief moment in the spotlight, but not an isolated one. Before Luu Viet Anh, Dylan had already opened shows for Chung Thanh Phong and Tran Hung. Three first-face moments later, the pattern is becoming difficult to ignore.

For a performer best known for the stage, music and the world of idol entertainment, the runway is opening up a different kind of spotlight. There is no microphone. No choreography to hide behind. Just the music, the lights and the first few seconds in which everyone in the room decides to look.

At Vietnam Wedding Week 2026, Dylan did more than make a celebrity appearance. He became the first image through which the audience entered one of the event's most story-driven collections.

Overseas Filipinos in Bahrain can enjoy zero transfer fees on all remittances to the Philippines as a limited-time offer.

SUCCESS ROOTED IN GRIT

To most people, cassava is just a basic staple crop. But for Randel J. Perez and his family from Dapdap West, Tagaytay City, the root crop in their backyard became their primary source of income.

Randel worked as a store merchandiser, while his wife served as a cashier. They were earning just enough to meet their family's daily needs. But when the pandemic hit, everything changed.

When nationwide lockdowns kept everyone indoors, Randel and his family found themselves stuck at home. Looking around their backyard, they noticed their flourishing cassava plants. Randel harvested the root crops, carefully peeled and thinly sliced them, and fried them until crisp.

It just started as a simple kitchen experiment, then quickly turned into their signature flavored cassava chips. At first, their market was small. They packed the chips into simple bags and sold them to former workmates and friends.

To stand out from typical snacks, they experimented with various savory seasonings. They gained positive feedback, and people started to love their flavored cassava chips.

Motivated by the early support, Randel and his wife decided to go all-in. They personally deliver their chips to local pasalubong centers and tourist spots around Tagaytay. They also set up tables during regional bazaars and partnered with school canteens.

Recognizing the growing shift toward digital shopping, they also brought their product online, which boosted orders far beyond their community.

The road ahead, however, was far from easy. The sales went up and down, bulk orders took hours to prepare manually, and daily distribution was a constant battle.

"Para makapaghatid ng mga order, nagkabit ako ng slab or patungan na gawa sa kahoy sa likod ng aking motorsiklo upang maibalanse ko ang mga bag ng cassava chips," Randel recalls. (To deliver orders, I attached a wooden slab onto the back of my motorcycle to balance stacks of cassava chip bags). Rain or shine, he navigated the winding roads of Tagaytay to reach his customers.

Despite all the challenges, their grit and determination began to pay off. Eventually, they saved enough profit to purchase a jeepney, which made their product distribution safer, faster, and able to handle much larger volumes.

As demand grew, so did their need for capital. Randel became a client of CARD SME Bank, Inc., a thrift bank under CARD Mutually Reinforcing Institution (CARD MRI) that supports micro, small, and medium entrepreneurs, securing loans to finance both family and business needs.

With the bank's help, the couple was able to invest in production machinery to upgrade their manual tools. This shift allowed them to increase their daily production, helping meet customers' demand without sacrificing product quality and flavor.

Today, Randel and his wife continue to manage their business. Their flavored cassava chips have now become one of the local favorite chips across Tagaytay City's markets and pasalubong centers.

With their faith, resourcefulness, and relentless hard work, even a backyard crop can yield a life-changing success.(PR)
