INTERVIEW

BUBU & RICKY ANDRES

answer the Manila House Questionnaire

“Life is not all about work and money. Family, friends and relationships are what make life happy and meaningful.”

Tell us what you do.

We operate a confectionery business doing importation, distribution, retail and e-commerce.

How do you define success?

This is a very difficult question. The answer may evolve as we go through life.

Let me over simplify, for us it’s having the ability to spend quality time with our adult children wherever they may be. To be equally loved and respected by them.

What life lessons did you derive from the pandemic?

Life is not all about work and money. Family, friends and relationships are what makes life happy and meaningful.

What would you like to see in the “next normal”?

The new normal brought out many ways to work smarter, so as a result I would like to see less stressed, nicer and friendlier people.

What’s your favorite thing about Manila House?

We love the food, the happy hour, and the privacy. It is also great that we always bump into friends whenever we are there. Unexpected yet memorable moments and good conversations are always treasured.

If you had to be quarantined (again) which country would you choose to be in?

We would like to be quarantined in France.
