The Filipino Entrepreneur

Last Saturday, December 15, 2007, Kabuhayang Swak na Swak featured the following episodes:

1. Micky Shop Digital - it’s a shop for personalized novelty items with your picture and Walt Disney’s / Pixar cartoon characters. There are many personalized novelty items shop on malls but the only difference with Micky Shop is the use of Walt Disney Characters. They are licensed to use the characters that is why the prints is high quality. There are many options for giving your digital picture to them: by CD, blue tooth or you can just have your picture taken by them with a digital camera. The featured shop was located in Megamall but they also have branches in Mall of Asia and Glorietta. Contract info: 725-8078 / 721-2221 email: mickyshop@gmail.com

2. Historic Camalig Restaurant - this restaurant is actually a 100 year old warehouse which was converted by its owners in 1980’s located in Clark Pampanga. With an inital investment of 4,000 to 8,000 pesos the father of the present owner with an American soldier started their venture. Their best seller is pizza. Why? because all the ingredients are local, the pizza tray is “bilao”( bamboo tray ) and the pizza sauce is cooked for 6 hours. They also maintain their original recipe since 1973 up to now. The ingredients are also mentioned like the cheese, sauce, salted egg, longganisa and chopped onion. Maybe the salted egg and longganisa makes it unique and pinoy.

3. My Philippines Lifestyles, Inc. - the company features makes T-shirts with Filipino designs like Cebu, Boracay, Davao and other souvenir designs.
