Before becoming the comedian we know and love today, Empoy Marquez came from humble beginnings. He used to sell chicharon in his hometown to earn his allowance in school. Fast forward to today – not only is he known for his hilarious TV banters, he also owns a resto bar called Way Back 90s. It’s the fruit of his labor after his indie film, Kita Kita, became one of the highest grossing local indie films of all time. Way Back 90s is located in Baliuag, Bulacan, and it’s often visited by people seeking good food and a kick of 90s nostalgia.
Aside from his flourishing showbiz career, Nash Aguas is also a successful young entrepreneur.

GMA artist Miguel Tanfelix joins the milk tea craze by putting a different twist: he offers milk tea with Pinoy dessert flavors! Original Pinoy Milk Tea, or OPM for short, serves flavors like leche flan, tablea, pinya, and even turon. The store is also called OPM for a reason, since the ambience screams music with its interior design that includes cassette tape displays.
Gerald Anderson has recently turned his personal gym into a business venture, and it has now become a favorite spot of celebrities like Bea Alonzo, Kathryn Bernardo, Pat Sugui, Marco Alcaraz, among others. The Th3rd Floor is Gerald’s first business, and it’s located at the third floor of the actor’s own home in Quezon City, thus the name.
