More than a food stall: A2 station’s mission of youth empowerment

BUTUAN CITY -- In the vibrant town of Magallanes, Agusan del Norte, the A2 Station food stall stands out not only for its delicious offerings but also for its heartwarming mission.

Honeylette Celestial, a young virtual worker and owner of A2 Station, turned her stall into one of the most popular spots in town. However, A2 Station is more than just a place to eat — it serves as a beacon of hope and opportunity for local youth.

Coming from humble beginnings, Celestial has dedicated her business to supporting young people in their pursuit of education and personal growth. By providing work opportunities, A2 Station helps them fund their studies and meet daily needs, demonstrating that business can be both profitable and purposeful.

Inspired by the quote, "Empower yourself first, so you can uplift others too. Your growth fuels the growth of those around you," she eagerly said during her engagement with Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) programs and services to enhance her business skills. She believes that by growing A2 Station, she can create even more opportunities for others to succeed.

As Celestial continues her journey, she embodies the spirit of youth helping youth — a true testament to the power of community and compassion in entrepreneurship.

Indulge in a variety of tasty snacks like siomai, fries, fish balls, kikiam, tempura, among others.  It is located at Purok 7, Brgy. Sto. Rosario, Magallanes, Agusan del Norte, beside the public market. (DTI-Agusan del Norte/PIA-Agusan del Norte)
