The fully adorned office along Shaw Boulevard, Pasig City, is a testament to the business acumen and ingenuity of the two. The spacious rooms scream the success of the brands under the House of Franchise that thrive, especially during the pandemic.

Very few businesses survived at the height of the COVID-19 health crisis in the Philippines.

Sisig, Burger Factory, Noodle House, and Boy Bondat.

The challenge of working and selling products became a livelihood opportunity for Filipinos on lockdown through the system and innovation created by So and Macadangdang.

"The foundation of this building, the House of Franchise, came from the perseverance of our franchisees and customers, especially during the pandemic," President and CEO Jonathan So said.

"Ingenuity plus technology, that hybrid business system, is the thrust of our brand, the House of Franchise," he added.

"We were practicing physical distancing, but those who are abroad, OFWs, housewives, students, those who lost their jobs, everyone found a way to earn a living through our franchising brands," Vice President and CFO Carl Macadangdang quipped.

"Your business opportunity is just a click away; it is online. You can get your own business, order your products, and deliver to your customers with just one app, one system, under the House of Franchise," he furthered.

With the open health protocol being implemented in Metro Manila, the building of the House of Franchise is the perfect way to showcase the success of So and Macadangdang's brands.
