Case Study: Jenns Barr Construction Supply Miss Jennilyn Barrientos is currently trying hard to make a decision on whether or not she would continue her construction supply business. Jennilyn was raised by her parents as a God-fearing and descent person. She does not fail to go to church every Sunday. She graduated valedictorian at the La Salette High School. The University of Santo Thomas awarded her a diploma in Business Administration with highest honors. It was while studying in UST when she met Jefferson, a townmate who was also enrolled in the College of Engineering of the same university. He courted her and after sometime, she agreed to marry him one year after graduation. On the day of the nuptial, Jefferson did not appear. Jennilyn felt humiliated, but after a few months of desperation, she bounced back and got a job in a commercial bank.

Jennilyn’s parents own a vacant 1,000 square meter lot at the edge of the town’s business district. Directly in front of the national highway and its back is the city road.

A few days later, when Jennilyn was in her office, her assistant came rushing to inform her the prospect has arrived to meet her. Jennilyn was shocked when she saw that the potential customer was her former boyfriend. Jefferson shook her hand and asked how she was. She tried hard to hide displeasure and said she’s fine.
