Asia's Global Entrepreneurs

WHITE GOLD PAINTS

The venture was formed with the intention of addressing a long ignored issue: the substandard quality of Philippines roads, especially their inadequate safety features.

This imperative gave rise to a desire to develop products and services, designed to meet and improve quality and safety within the Industry’s regulatory and technical environment. More than that, a motivation to increase awareness and strongly encourage adoption of high-level safety, reliability, and utility standards across the industry, was born.

KING'S KEBAB

Fancy a kebab or shawarma? If you think you’ve tried them all before, think again.

The result of the determination of its founder – King is his name, of course – King’s Kebab has the best kebabs and shawarma meals for the Pinoys’ palette. Initially assessed by some as a venture that may not succeed, this Persian grill now has customers that dream about its tenderloin and ground beef kebabs. Rumor has it that some customers even end up sleep-walking to one of the two branches just to satisfy their craving.

It is the best value for money – and even better than some more expensive places. Delivery service also available.

	KOO CLOTHING "Clothes for the young fashionistas", that's perhaps the best way of describe the line of Koo Clothing. Born out of passion, Koo Clothing opened in mid 2007.

That passion became the building block of what has now become Koo Clothing.

FILTHY GROMMET started in 2006 as a hobby of customizing clothes for personal use. It surfaced from the continuous hunt for individuality and distinctiveness in fashion. As the clothes were exposed to the public, there were requests for producing pieces for friends and family. Thus, Filthy Grommet was born.
The name centers upon the word “Grommet” which is a slang word used by skateboarders and surfboarders implying an “Excellent Rookie”.

We view ourselves as young individuals who shell out raw and fresh ideas influenced by our environment and our lifestyle. The experience of the hustle and bustle of the streets of Manila and our world views are what emanates and translates into our pieces of clothing. We are a clothing line inspired by street culture, carrying graphic t-shirts and specializing in the customization of jeans and hoodies. Filthy Grommet steps away from the mainstream trends and creates their own wave of movement of fashion and style.

TUSOK TUSOK

The idea of Tusok-Tusok came to Alvin during one of the school's trips to China. There he realized that street foods such as fishballs and other kinds of seafood balls are cooked in flavored stock just as also in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

He also realized that cooking the food in that way the would make it healthier, especially compared to the typical deep-fried foods.

Cooking in stock also eliminates the unsavory oily taste and texture of fried foods especially when they get cold.
Current best sellers include crab balls, squid balls, and salmon twists.

Tusok-tusok is now available at the basement of Gaisano Mall in Market-Market and at Riverbanks in Marikina. Additional outlets are to be put up in SM within the first half of 2008.
