A Privilege Worth Taking Seriously

It is a great privilege for me to collaborate with DTI in bringing real, credible franchise opportunities to Filipino entrepreneurs. After 35 years in this industry, I've seen how much damage a bad franchise decision can do — and how much good a credible one can create when the right information reaches the right person at the right time.

More Than a Presentation

That's why these sessions are never just presentations. I always make sure attendees leave with two practical takeaways: updated tips on how to select the right franchise — separating real opportunity from hype — and, for those who already run a business, a clear walkthrough of how to franchise it themselves.

The Tipid Sulit Laundromat Story

That second point is exactly what happened with Tipid Sulit Laundromat. They came into our event last year already an established franchise with 180 branches nationwide — not looking for basics, but for the right regional partners. Through that single event, they connected with the right franchisees here in Mindoro. Within a year, nine new branches had opened across different towns.

What This Means for Occidental Mindoro

That result is the whole point of partnering with DTI on events like this. Credible information, paired with the right room of people, turns into real growth — whether that's a business owner exploring franchising for the first time, or an established brand looking for its next region.

This July, I'm honored to return for "Franchise Pathways: Learning the Basics & Exploring Opportunities," with DTI Occidental Mindoro and the Provincial Government, as part of MSME Week.

Joining the seminar are real, operating franchisors — MotoVita, Sugarcane & Beyond, Amelito's Sizzling House, and Generika Drugstore — so attendees get direct answers, not theory.
