Last August 1, the last day of the 17th Metro Manila Business Conference, held at SOFITEL, has a variety of topics that were presented to the different city business chambers attendees. All are worth remembering. But as always what caught my heart and mind is the statement : "Shape Your Environment".
Businessmen and entrepreneurs most of the times must SHAPE THEIR ENVIRONMENT. Almost always the DANGERS are BIGGER or the same size as the OPPORTUNITIES that accompany it. Therefore a mastery of the environment or the GUTS of shaping the environment is one of the requirements for a businessman or entrepreneur to succeed.
Shape Your Environment! The legend of the vituperian male continues!

I recently attended a gathering and one of the speakers is Gardenia's President Mr. Simplicio Umali ( I hope I got the name right).
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!

After having experienced my unforgettable date with Discovery Suites Ortigas, we went to Astoria Plaza.
I am a frequent guest of this Hotel. First, it is at the outer area of Ortigas and the facilities are great and the room spacious and comfy.
I have no booking there, and they are fully booked. But they did an extraordinary thing, the were avail to do a magic to allow my family to have our overnight sked with a hotel.
Yes! They were able to give us a room and its more sweeter because they did it with all the difficulties that went to it just to give us a room.
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.
The matter was aggravated because after saying this, they never said any apologies and left me their like I was invisible.
I was looking forward to having a good time at Discovery Ortigas but it was turned into a horro story.
