[Title] => The life and times of Nanay Coring: One for the books
[Summary] => 
If one could say anything good about poverty, it could be that it produced a person like Socorro Cancio Ramos. Fondly called "Nanay Coring" by everyone, this 81-year-old lady is the recipient of Ernst & Young's 2004 Entrepreneur of the Year-Philippines award, dubbed as the Oscar of the business world.
The founder of the National Book Store (NBS) chain, Nanay Coring's life runs along the plot of a rags-to-riches story, pretty much like the heroines of best-selling, inspirational books. Her father died when she was 10, so she knew what it was like to work at a very early age to help the family put food on the table, selling panutsa (sugar cane fudge) in the market. During vacations, she would take on jobs to earn some money for notebooks, paper and pencils that she needed for school. "You had nobody to depend on so you had to exert effort to earn something," she discloses.
It was during these summer jobs that Nanay Coring first showed her business savvy. She worked in a cigarette factory taking out moldy tobacco and saving the rest of the cigarette filling, getting paid five centavos a pack. "That was a lot of money then, because the exchange rate then was P2 to $1. But I would not be able to finish the work in two months, so I hired 10 kids from the neighborhood and paid them five centavos for every two packs. We finished the whole bodega in one and a half months, so I had money to buy notebooks, paper, pencils, a schoolbag. The others made some money, too," Nanay Coring giggles at the memory.
