EN: to establish (a business); to build up assets
This is the OFW and entrepreneur's anthem. It's the act of hustling hard to build something from scratch—a sari-sari store, a house and lot, or a small business. It’s the opposite of 'one day millionaire.' It's about planting seeds (and your sahod) and watching them grow into something you can call your own. The ultimate Filipino dream.
From Spanish 'fundar' (to found, to establish).
Strongly associated with long-term financial goals, entrepreneurship, and the achievements of OFWs.
