Isabelo Garden Restaurant - Marikina, Philippines

For me, it was to run my own restaurant. I started my professional career in the mighty corporate world of advertising. For a few years, I invested my time and energy into it – even putting up and running my own ad agencies with the help of some partners. The business thrived but I realized the calling for my other passion was too strong to ignore. In fact, it runs in my blood – so surely I could not escape it.
