Why you chose this entrepreneur?
Answer (1)
I chose Tony Tan Caktiong, the founder of Jollibee, as the entrepreneur I admire because his story is a perfect example of success through hard work, innovation, and Filipino values.Tony Tan Caktiong started with a simple ice cream parlor in 1975, but when he noticed that Filipino customers preferred hot meals like hamburgers and spaghetti, he listened to their needs. He then turned his business into a fast-food restaurant that serves meals loved by Filipino families. This shows how observant and flexible he was as a businessman.I admire him because he never gave up. Even though there were already big international competitors like McDonald’s, he believed in his vision and focused on what Filipinos love—affordable, delicious, and uniquely Filipino food. He invested in quality service and local flavors, like Jolly Spaghetti and Chickenjoy, which made Jollibee stand out.He also values his employees, provides jobs for thousands of people, and gives back to the community through education programs and disaster response. His success shows that entrepreneurship is not just about money, but also about leadership, service, and love for your country.Choosing Tony Tan Caktiong reminds me that being an entrepreneur means solving problems, understanding people’s needs, and always improving. His journey inspires me to pursue my own goals with confidence and heart.
