ON CAM FRIDAY episode 001

Featuring on our first ON CAM FRIDAY episode is a friend of mine Albert Pacardo. Albert and I had been best of friends since 2009, we met in Cebu as classmates in the Academy for Creating Enterprise. I had the chance to drop by at his place somewhere in Sandigan Bayan in Commonwealth QC. The reason I visited him was to see his first daughter – Abish, what an adorable baby she was. My excitement was doubled when I he told me that he also invited Joem Buenavista also a close friend to join us.

These 2 fine young married lads has inspired me in many ways. Neither of them made it through college yet they belong to my list of successful people. Successful in the sense that they now have families and are living in such a way that their parents are proud of them. Both are running small businesses and are also helping others to achieve their dreams by inspiring them through their own story.
