Women are natural multitaskers, effortlessly balancing multiple roles in life and business. For female entrepreneurs, running a business often means wearing many hats—from marketing and customer service to logistics and operations.
Thankfully, on-demand delivery solutions like Lalamove help them manage their businesses more efficiently.
In celebration of Women’s Month, Lalamove has partnered with Common Room, a collaborative space that supports over 300 local crafters and women-led brands. Founded by women, Common Room provides a platform for artists and entrepreneurs to showcase their handmade crafts, from artisanal fragrances to modern Filipino handicrafts.
Lalamove’s reliable delivery services have been instrumental in supporting these businesses. They allow them to fulfill multiple bookings, schedule drop-offs seamlessly, and access a range of delivery vehicles to suit their needs.

Entrepreneurs on the move
For Lala De Leon, founder of Simoy ng Haraya, Lalamove is an essential part of her business. “Lalamove is my go-to for rush orders. Some buyers need their items immediately, and I’m happy to make that happen,” she shares. Her brand captures the essence of Filipino culture through scents, and efficient deliveries help bring these unique fragrances to customers on time.
Cai Sio, a multitasking mom and founder of Paper Chic Studio, praises Lalamove’s convenient payment options. “My favorite feature is the Lalamove Wallet! I love the ease of cashless transactions, plus the added discounts when I top up.”
Meanwhile, Patricia Fernandez Lim of Woven—a business that collaborates with crafting communities to create modern Filipino handicrafts—credits Lalamove with keeping her operations smooth.
“We use Lalamove for retail and wholesale orders, as well as for supply deliveries. Apart from the affordable rates and ease of use, I love the wallet option since I can top up whenever and send out any item that needs to be delivered. It’s one less thing to worry about when running a business, plus we get vouchers, too!,” Lim said.
Building a community of women entrepreneurs
Common Room founders Maan Agsalud and Roma Agsunod have long advocated for local artists and entrepreneurs, especially women. “Since most of our crafts are proudly local, we have always believed in creating spaces where makers and artists can thrive,” they share.
“When we launched in 2015, we saw the need for more physical spaces for the arts and crafts community. That’s why partnerships like this matter to us. With Lalamove’s reliable delivery solutions, our makers can connect with more customers, ensuring their passion and creativity reach more homes.”

As the country’s leading on-demand delivery platform, Lalamove remains committed to empowering businesses of all sizes. With more Filipinas pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams, Lalamove provides accessible, cost-effective delivery solutions to help them scale and succeed.
