Another Filipina was the subject of a video posted by Facebook founder and chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg for using Internet.org.
The video, which runs for more than a minute, shows a Filipina named Marissa who works in a factory but dreams to start her own business selling dolls.
“Everyday at the factory is the same. I work long hours. But I also have dreams of my own,” Marissa said in the video.
“Someday, I’ll be a businesswoman,” she said, adding that she has started saving what she earns from the factory as capital.
Marissa said she uses Internet.org to “find great sales” to help her build her dream business.
“If you see me in 10, years, you won’t recognize me,” she said.
The video of Marissa came days after the video of Filipina Riza Mae Tachado was featured by Zuckerberg for finishing her degree with the help of Internet.org.
Internet.org offers free data connectivity through service providers like Smart, Globe, and Sun Cellular.
“Being connected means having opportunity. We’re connecting the world so one day everyone can fulfill their dreams — just like Marissa,” Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post that accompanied Marrisa’s video. CDG
