The commitment of Tito Mike’s Trading and General Merchandise (TMTGM) to support the Filipino entrepreneur, particularly owners of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises was inspired by the personal experiences of Michael C. Cases an engineer and a former OFW who dreamed of starting a business after the end of his employment contract. He willingly traded perks and title to become everybody’s ‘Tito Mike’. In 1999, he established Tito Mike’s Food Company Inc. and put up a food processing facility in Dipolog City. As a budding entrepreneur, Tito Mike went through the challenges that start up business owners go through – buying materials in low volume quantity, buying materials at higher prices, not knowing where to source for other materials and feeling small alongside the big and established business. It became his advocacy to help small business owners so they won’t have to go through the tough times he did.
Fast forward to 2015. Tito Mike’s Trading and General Merchandise came into being. The TMTGM became a business partner and distributor of San Miguel Yamamura Packaging Corporation in Region IX.
In 2017 Mike Cases became a certified Mentor of the Kapatid Mentor ME Program, a joint project of the DTI and the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship.
In March 2018 San Miguel Yamamura Packaging Corporation expanded the distribution area of TMTGM to include Cebu and nearby provinces and cities in the Visayas.
TMTGM flies under the banner of making quality packaging products ‘Available and Affordable’ to both small and big businesses.
Tito Mike’s Trading and General Merchandise is anchored on the belief and faith that the Filipino entrepreneur is worth investing for.
