Boss Bobby Adan and Boss-Wife Shera Adan shares their approach to marketing Prutasan Ni Adan.

They didn't blindly jump on the strategies other businesses have been doing.

They have always been intentional and practical on how they promote, market, and grow the business to what it is today.

More sales don't always mean more profit.

Sometimes, the problem isn't how much you're selling, but how much you need to sell just to survive.

In our latest Istoryahe Cebu article, we look at two Cebu businesses, TUF Barbershop and Quarantinas Lechon and Lechon Belly/ Q Unlimited Corner, and the very different lessons their experiences offer about pricing, volume, costs, and capital.

This isn't about saying one business model is better than the other.

It's about understanding what your pricing strategy demands from the rest of your business.

Because a ₱50 product and a ₱500 product can both work, but they require very different businesses behind them.

Read the full story and see what these lessons might mean for your own business.

Makalipie started not with a solid business plan. The owner craved for a Mango Tart, made one, made it available to friends, and the rest is history.

If you are serious about starting a business..

Start.

You don’t need a fortune to appreciate watches. ⌚

That’s one thing we took away from our conversation with Carl Cabusas, President of the City of Talisay - Chamber of Commerce, Trade and Industry Inc. —and a passionate watch collector.

We were at 88Garden Cafe - Paseo Ricardo when Boss Carl shared how he got into watches, including the story of his first watch, and something that might surprise those who think watch collecting is only for people with deep pockets.

You can start small.

You don’t need to buy an expensive luxury watch to develop an appreciation for craftsmanship, design, history, and the stories behind every timepiece.

Sometimes, it starts with nothing more than curiosity.

And perhaps that’s the real beauty of collecting—not how much you spend, but how much you learn to appreciate.

We talked about watches, business, cars, EVs, and much more with Carl on Istoryahe Cebu.

What was your first watch? 👇

A failed sneaker business. A bold pivot. And eventually, 40 TUF Barbershop branches nationwide.

But Stuart Violanda’s story isn’t just about how TUF became successful.

It’s about recognizing opportunities, knowing when to let go, learning from failed ventures, and building a business that keeps evolving.

From sneakers to scissor hands, this is a story worth reading—especially if you're building a business of your own.

👉 Read the full story of how TUF Barbershop grew from a failed venture into a nationwide brand.

Stuart Wayne Violanda and his partners didn’t start with barbershops. They started with a sneaker business.

Every entrepreneur has a reason they started.

Every business has challenges it has overcome.

Every customer has a reason they stayed.

Those stories matter.

Not because they're emotional.

Because stories help people remember businesses.

The next time you think about marketing, don't just ask, "What should we post?"

Ask, "What story haven't we told yet?"

We're always looking for local businesses with stories worth sharing.
