Filipino entrepreneur Joefelita Pascual transformed her experience as a housemaid in Bahrain into a thriving food business, building Monina Restaurant over two decades through hard work, perseverance, and savings. Her business serves Filipino dishes and traditional kakanin, supplies 10 supermarket branches, and accepts catering orders despite challenges posed by regional conflict and declining restaurant foot traffic. Pascual encourages fellow overseas Filipino workers to stay disciplined and pursue legitimate business opportunities.
