Jon Victor G. Zerrudo

SPA-9A-Brilliance
 Socorro C. Ramos,
National Bookstore

The boy takes over a branch with the girl,

and they renamed it in National Book Store.
However, a war breaks out, and the store is
destroyed! They rebuild the store, but
everything is held under suspicion of being
“questionable.” They relocate the store in
Avenida, but as the business picks up, a
storm destroys their roof. Soon, they rebuild the store, and every centavo is used to
build a nine-story National Book Store.

The girl is Socorro and the boy is Jose. Today, National Bookstore has grown to over
100 stores. Despite digital technology, it continues to flourish!

Mariano Que,
Mercury Drugstores
Many of today’s entrepreneurs would learn the
value of customer experience and innovation
through Mariano Que.

Like many of the entrepreneurs discussed so

far, Mariano found opportunities for
entrepreneurship after World War 2. Mariano
had been working in a local drugstore when
the war destroyed several businesses in the
city.

Mariano saw the need to supply sulfa drugs, which were used to treat bacterial
infections. He started to buy sulfa tablets and sold them at affordable prices. Soon,
other people followed and adapted Mariano’s strategy.
