Episode Synopsis

Quote by Stephen Fry: “You are who you are when nobody's watching.”
Integrity is one of the qualities that Sir Pajo and Ma'am Bek Carandang, owners of It's A Thai Restaurant, who just opened their second branch in Halang Calamba, believe in and encourage in their business and with their employees. 
The brand-new restaurant owners share they are aware that they still have a lot to learn about managing the business, but they are humble and view feedback as a chance to grow.
The episode highlights the experience of how a business grew from a small stall to a take-out/delivery counter to adding a full restaurant.
