He was talking about the story of Gardenia how they, at first, found it difficult to convince the market that Gardenia is synonymous to a delicious bread. For one, at first, they are always identified to a motel in Sta. Mesa and/or a landscape company in Metro Manila.
But you cannot put a good product down. So after a few months or a year, the public (including me) begin to take notice of Gardenia, a delicious bread, which if my hearing is correct, has a gross sale of 1.2 Billion a year !
Another brand story that is lovable and worth emulating!

Kudos from the management of ASTORIA!
This is a service worth a toast!
I had a very bad experience with Discovery Suites Ortigas. It was bad because it happened during my special day - my birthday.
My family and I booked for an overnight stay as way of celebrating my birthday at the Hotel. We booked via internet and phone. Alas, when we are already there the reception people told me that I was not booked.
