CREATED BY A MOM, FOR MOMS

Mommy Mundo founder, Janice Crisostomo-Villanueva has under her belt, almost a decade of passionate and inspired mom-focused work, covering years of memorable projects in various forms of media and activations.  Some of her most memorable and most talked about projects include:

• Mommy Pages, the Philippines’ Ultimate Directory for moms (in print since 2002, and online at http://mommypages.com.ph) has served as a valuable source book for thousands of moms and moms-to-be
• Mommy Milkshake Marathon, an annual family fun run advocating breastfeeding which has been successfully staged since 2004. Mommy Milkshake, presented by Barbizon Fashion in 2004 won a prestigious Philippine Quill Award for Excellence for PR for breastfeeding advocacy.
• Expo Mom, the first lifestyle expo for moms has become a much-awaited event since 2008.  Expo Mom has become known to be a gathering of young moms and families, a shopping event featuring a wonderful selection of mom and baby products, a trade fair of mompreneur enterprises, a virtual showcase of the best and latest in parenting.

To bring together all her efforts into one home, Mommy Mundo is born, again inspired to provide moms with effortless access to information.

Janice is also co-owner of Mommy Matters, a company that established the Mommy Matters brand of nursingwear in the Philippines and is now a known distributor of other innovative products for moms and babies.  She also runs an events and communications company called Creative Juice, together with her husband.

Like most mompreneurs, Janice’s spring of inspiration and motivation are her 3 children ages 3 to 12.

WHY “MOMMY MUNDO”?

REASON #1: “Mundo” [moon-doh] is the Tagalog/ Filipino word for “world”.  Mommy Mundo is proud to be a Filipino brand and having a local word in its name (while to be pronounced here as [moon-dow]), is a manifestation of this pride.

REASON #2: The crucial role that mothers play not only in the lives of children but in the world as a whole is something Mommy Mundo acknowledges and supports. An oft-repeated quote, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world” says it all.  Mommy Mundo reiterates this same message and shouts out “Mommies make the world go ‘round!”
