Our Story
THE STORY
Our story begins with our clear passion and purpose to help students during the pandemic in the Philippines. We recognized the problem of limited organized materials for online learning and limited resources to help retention and inspire students. Our mission was to tackle the increasing number of number of out-of-school youth and unemployment/job mismatch issues by making educational materials affordable.
With determination and a clear vision, our team created one-of-a-kind study materials that promoted dynamic learning experiences through science-based techniques to increase retention for students and young professionals. We aimed develop a product to inspire and empower people to dream, plan, and take action towards creating a fulfilling life based on their values and purpose.
Despite the challenges of starting our endeavor during the peak of the pandemic with limited resources, we worked hard and launched our first product, the Engineering Math NoteViewers – a combination of notebook and reviewer with colorfully summarized notes that is easy to digest and understand. The market response was overwhelming, as it sold out in just seconds on Shopee [online store], which was a testament to the importance of its features and function. The success of Engineering Mathematics was a signal for us to expand into different courses like Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. We invited honor students such as laudes, national quiz contest champions, topnotchers, etc., to join and be part of the solution.
However, we faced another challenge when Typhoon Odette almost paralyzed our operation. Despite struggling with time, energy, and funds, we persevered and continued to work towards our mission.
Aside from our products and services, Project Padayon is also known for our social responsibility efforts. We have sponsored and helped over 100+ student organizations with approximately 500,000+ memberships and distributed more than Php 500,000 worth of donations and sponsorships. Our hard work and dedication have paid off, as we received the Top Innovative Brand of the Year (for Engineering Materials 2022-2023) and The Philippine Social Media Star Achiever Award 2022 from Brand Asia Awards.
As Project Padayon continued to grow and evolve, we collaborated with other like-minded individuals, social media influencers, and organizations to create even more meaningful products and services to help students and professionals unlock their potential and live a fulfilling life. We take pride in the positive impact our products have on the world, and we continue to innovate and create new products that align with our values and purpose.
The journey of Project Padayon continues, and we remain committed to our mission of helping millions of people worldwide. Our products and services continue to inspire and empower people, and our impact on the world continues to grow. The story is a testament to the power of passion, purpose, hard work, and perseverance and we will always say “padayon lang!”.
