TABERNA GROUP OF COMPANIES Hold Open House at Metro Tent Pasig

Success in business was something the Taberna Group of Companies was familiar with, but it didn't come overnight for the lovely couple. Anthony and Rossel Taberna experienced hardships just like ordinary folks and doing business was initially just a fallback for them (as he was still a journalist and doing this business on the side with his wife). Learning the ropes, failing a few didn't stop them from adapting, innovating and taking chances. Today, Today, they have 4 brands under their belt and over 250 people helping them make their dreams come true.

They realized it only takes ONE STEP, which they named this event after. This is the business expo for TGC, an Open House so they could teach entrepreneurs to invest and become partners with the TGC group. Mrs. T and Anthony Taberna went up on stage and said "Our warmest welcome to you all. We call people in our community our teammates. When we planned the TGC expo, we were nervous but thank you so much for seeing you here, your presence is treasured. We welcome you our VVIP's, and time has really gone fast. In the past, we treated this as fall back, but I figured we can't be in VMX (they kid), we do this with Christian values and we have gone through numerous struggles. When Mrs. T handled all of these, it became all smooth. I was the one struggling, now we have integrity, a system that works and trust from our people. We are partners and hard work has brought us here. What we can build together takes one decision, one step, for us to become business partners. Let's take this step together."

 

Mrs. Rosell Taberna introduced their guest Ma. Cristina Roque of the DTI and she congratulated them about the nature of their business. She assured them that the government will help wherever they can as a Philippine based brand and one that has lots of potential. It has the capacity to grow not just locally, but internationally. She also mentioned how they build businesses and provide jobs for a lot of people. They can also mentor others to succeed in the industry and she encouraged them to drive others to also do the same with their food businesses, management and entertainment.

 

Mrs. Taberna added "We have a lot of commissaries, kitchens which we plan to operate on our new building in Tandang Sora. Hopefully next year we get to launch our new building, this took us decades of hardships, nitty gritty work. We also have some commissaries in Nueva Ecija and 2 in Quezon City that are operating now. That's a lot to be thankful for! It means we are capable now to expand!"
