✨ From classroom to commerce, Afterblend’s journey just reached a new milestone! ✨

Princess and Crystal proudly graduated Cum Laude, while Paul earned the title of “mag-magna.” Together, the Afterblend team was recognized by the College of Home Economics and Technology (CHET), Department of Entrepreneurship as Best in Business Implementation.

To everyone who purchased once, twice, or even twice a day—our loyal customers—you are part of this success. Without your constant support, we wouldn’t have made it this far.

We are deeply grateful to Baguio Center Mall, especially Sir Johan, Ma’am Kath, Sir PJ, and Ma’am Tonie, for their unwavering support and understanding.

🥂 Cheers to a new chapter! Continue to support us as we continually blend at Baguio Center Mall, 4th Floor.

Our BS Entrepreneurship students specializing in Food Enterprise officially completed their Business Implementation Presentations.

From conceptualizing unique flavours to managing real-world operations and supply chains, these student-entrepreneurs have shown what it takes to survive and thrive in the competitive food industry. They didn’t just present "ideas"—they presented proven concepts with actual grit behind them. 🌶️📈

A group of student entrepreneurs from Benguet State University (BSU) has turned their academic thesis into a real start-up business.

For these young individuals, what started as an idea of fusion of fresh fruits and vegetables turned to a beverage-aimed at attracting youth and health-conscious consumers.

Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship students, Crystal Ariane Arellano, Princess Smaeranza Dulay, and Paul Ezekiel Joaquin, of Benguet State University, developed the concept of their business while they were doing their thesis for their degree program.
