Turning their passion for going places into an entrepreneurial venture is what Malou and Roberto Prado consider the highlight of their working lives.  With their drive for business, this husband and wife team has established and grown what has become one of the most well-loved local Filipino businesses in the country.

Malou, who comes from a travel and tourism background, is the backbone of the company who has developed an internal culture focused on strong customer service.  Her dream is to eventually build the company into a globally known brand that caters to Filipino travelers and inspires aspiring business owners.  Robert who provides invaluable support to the business, credits the people around them for their continued success.  He shares, “Our success is not only because of us and our families but also because of those people who surround us, our friends and staff, our co-business competitors who give us the inspiration to go for the gold.”
