1. Identify one Filipino self made winner.

The country’s youngest billionaire at 40 years old, Injap Sia is the man behind
one of the country’s most popular food chains, Mang Inasal. Yes, it’s now under
Jollibee Foods Corporation, but the barbecued chicken they sell came from the mind
of Injap Sia, whose nickname comes from the lineage of his parents: Edgar Sia Sr. is
half Chinese or Instik, while his mother Paz is half Japanese. Like any ordinary
entrepreneur, Edgar “Injap” Sia II has also dreamt of his business becoming big one
day. But he never imagined that his success could reach such heights, enabling him to
make a name for himself—at a relatively young age at that—in the local business
community. Injap admitted that he can’t help but be overwhelmed with the good
fortune that came his way, as it was certainly quite a feat what he has achieved. From
his humble beginnings with Mang Inasal back in 2003 to trying his hand in the real
estate business, the young tycoon is indeed out to build his own empire but without
sacrificing the values he has long carried with him and made him a huge success in
his ventures.

2. Try to find out the struggles he went through.

comes when combined with passion and determination.
 Third, the sustaining stage. A business can’t grow and it certainly makes it
difficult to sustain momentum over time.

the business scene in Metro Manila.
