GIGA Enterprises is a single proprietorship company established in 1999 by Mr. and Mrs Peping and Joy de Villa. Its primary business is in the manufacturing and retailing of Natural Personal Care products whose ingredients are mainly plant based and locally sourced. Its product line includes natural soaps, aromatherapy, spa, natural therapy, pet care and baby care.   Peping de Villa, a B.S. Agribusiness graduate from the University of the Philippines, and his wife  JOY have always been entrepreneurial. Their first business venture was in the retailing and trading of Ladies’ RTW and accessories. From 1986 to 1999, they were able to grow the business to 5 retail branches, in major malls nationwide. In time, it became difficult to sustain the business since by then, the government has decided to liberalize the importation of garments products.    After some consultation, research and prayer, they decided to close the business in 1999 and embarked on a new one, this time dealing with consumer products. Thus, GIGA Enterprises was formed. It began in a garage, with an initial capital of P30,000.00, and a line of aromatherapy soap bars in 5 variants.
