A family in Central Negros started with just a small building and after three years, the whole family is already earning at least ₱2.8 million yearly net income. You can too if you have an interest in this business.

This type of business is ideal for retiring Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW), especially seafarers and other professionals who saved money for their future plans.

Entering into a business is difficult especially if you have no technical knowledge. Magnolia will provide everything you need if your land and structure pass their inspection.

Do not invest your hard-earned money into some kind of business that promises you a big return. There is no such kind of business other than investment and scams. The Philippines needed hundreds of thousands of dressed chickens every day – you can be one of the chicken suppliers one day if you start now.
