Our story

<p>Habi-Habi Atelier is a family textile studio in Iloilo City, weaving table runners and small home goods with a team of six. Its owner, Mariel Villanueva, took the Paid in 15 pledge after hearing how long waits for payment made it difficult for local thread dyers and home-based weavers to buy materials for their next batch. The studio now records delivery dates alongside invoices and schedules supplier payments twice a month, with a goal of settling approved bills within 15 days. The change has made ordering more predictable: two dyers have agreed to reserve color lots for the studio, and the team no longer needs to delay production while waiting for a customer payment. In its first quarter under the pledge, Habi-Habi paid 18 supplier invoices within the 15-day window, accounting for ₱146,000 in purchases. Mariel says the practical benefit is not just faster bookkeeping; it is giving small partners room to plan their own work.</p>
