Enrilyn Lee of EFR Subic Yacht Rentals shared that they successfully transformed their business by leveraging Enstack's digital tools to accept debit and credit card payments. Through Enstack's easy onboarding process, they can now accommodate international card payments, expanding their market and attracting a global clientele.

"We've adopted credit card transactions as our primary payment method, utilizing Enstack's mobile POS and generating payment links for buyers. This convenient solution has opened doors to a broader customer base, ensuring secure transactions. It feels like having an extra department, an extra helping hand in our business," shared Lee.

Enstack has also played a pivotal role in the growth journey of businesses like Scarlet Enterprise. Arlette Alvarado, Founder and General Manager of Scarlet Enterprise, reflects on their 17-year journey: "Our business, which began as a humble retail venture, has now become our bread and butter. Today, we predominantly engage in B2B transactions through distributorship, and Enstack's seamless sales invoicing feature has been the key to making this remarkable transition possible."

Macy Castillo, CEO, and co-founder of Enstack, believes in the potential of Filipino entrepreneurs and emphasizes the important role of MSMEs in the country’s overall economic growth.

Golden Haven Memorial Park Iligan Set to Unveil “Colors of the Caribbean” Themed Gate and Guardhouse


Golden Haven Memorial Park Iligan, one of the themed memorial parks of the Villar-owned Golden MV Holdings Inc., is holding the grand launch of its latest masterpiece—the new gate and guardhouse bearing the theme, "Colors of the Caribbean”—on December 2.

The motif, one that speaks of life, celebration, and the timeless bond between nature and the human spirit, aligns with the joyful energy of the Christmas season. The unveiling of the beautifully designed fixtures is Golden Haven’s symbolic Christmas gift to customers, shareholders, and investors of Golden Haven Iligan, coming right on track after its groundbreaking ceremony on May 19 this year.

Ms. Emy Lustado, President of Golden Haven Memorial Parks, is justifiably enthused about the project’s timely completion. “We are thrilled to see this project come together so quickly,” she says. “It’s more than just an entrance; it’s a beautiful masterpiece that we are presenting to the Iliganons.”

Indeed, the Golden Haven Iligan team worked tirelessly to complete the project, successfully executing the vibrant Caribbean vibe that does not detract from the tranquil and solemn atmosphere of the park.

As Ms. Lustado affirms, “Our goal at Golden Haven has always been to provide a beautiful and dignified resting place, and this new gate and guardhouse are a testament to that commitment. We believe it will bring comfort and pride to the families who visit their loved ones here.”

Golden Haven Memorial Parks has consistently been recognized for its innovative approach to park designs. The Iligan Park’s Caribbean-themed entrance is, in fact, a symbol of this dedication, offering a welcoming and peaceful gateway for visitors.

Golden Haven cordially invites the Iligan community to join the unveiling ceremony and experience the new entrance, first-hand.

Those wishing to witness the launch may go to Golden Haven Memorial Park Iligan, located at Zone 2, Panul-Iran, Brgy. Abuno, Iligan City.
