EDITORIAL: “FOREVER SUMMER”

We are best known for our never ending SUNSHINE..

At least that’s what I remember from that GLEE episode with Charice Pempengco in it.. haha

Well I agree with that literally and figuratively..

Because SUNSHINE also means our happy disposition in life as PINOYS..

It can also mean our crazy beautiful beaches that shines even brighter because of our tropical weather..

And lastly the beautiful people that we truly are..

Anyway I’d like to talk more about our coverboys MIKE and GAB..

And if you guys are wondering –MIKE was our previous coverboy during our first anniversary issue a few years back..

I remember him telling us his weight loss story and the story behind their amazing resort “VILLA ALFREDO”..

Now 2 years after (if I remember things correctly.. haha) he comes back on our pages with his younger brother GAB..

And It was just amazing how these boys lose all their gut just like that..

Q: Can u tell us how you've contributed to Gab's weight loss?

A: Its actually my thesis for school because i'm an EM student, and it’s been an amazing experience it made me really learn a lot about the triumphs and sacrifices of being an entrepreneur.

Q: advise for our readers who would like to start their own line of business?

A: just be patient, work hard, and never be afraid to fail, because failure is inevitable and in the business world you will encounter a lot of problems and road blocks, but you just have to be positive and bounce back even stronger

Q: We remember that you had a #sosyproblem wayback our first shoot haha.. when you didn't know what specific course to take back then.. how did you resolve that?
