Television host and entrepreneur Rep. Sam Verzosa Jr. encouraged people to embrace a culture of generosity, stating that it could lead to tremendous success.

"Dito ko naisip na, it’s not just about charity and giving but inspiring and teaching. That’s the formula I know to succeed, which is as simple as paying it forward," said Sam during a recent interview at a charity event in Tondo, Manila.

Sam added: "Maging mabait ka sa kapwa mo, tumulong ka kapag kaya mo, at magugulat ka na lang sa huli, bumabalik sa iyo yun ng ten folds."

Sam not only displayed generosity but also emphasized the importance of studying and working hard to the young people.

"Kasi syempre galing ako sa hirap. Pero nakita ko kung paano nagpursige ang aking mga magulang para mag-survive kami. Nakatatak na talaga sa utak ko ang sinabi ng tatay ko na 'Hindi ka namin mabibigyan ng materyal na bagay, pero ang kaya kong ibigay sa inyo ay ang magandang edukasyon. At yun ang tanging maipapamana namin sa inyong magkakapatid.;'

"Kaya I worked hard as a student. Always striving to be the best. Nakapagtapos ako ng grade school and high school Sa Angelicum College, kung saan I became valedictorian of my batch. 

"In high school, nag-participate din ako sa 'Battle of the Brains', a televised national quiz show in which I was able to showcase my academic skills. Tapos nung college, naging scholar ng bayan ako. U.P. Diliman and I graduated with a civil engineering degree," Sam also said.

Sam, 36, also said he worked hard to make Frontrow an established direct-selling company known for distributing an elite line of health and beauty products.

"Sa awa ng Diyos, our hard work paid-off. Frontrow became very successful. What a lot of people don’t know is that to be successful in Frontrow, you have to pay it forward. 

"Ibig sabihin, no one can make it on his own. Kailangan mo yung tulong ng ibang tao. So kung mas marami kang matulungan, mas maraming tutulong sayo. At mas lalago ang negosyo mo," he said.

Sam is a co-host of the game show "Wil To Win," which Willie Revillame hosts on TV5. One of the celebrities who inspires him to embrace the culture of generosity is Kuya Wil.

"So dun palang, sa konsepto ng negosyo namin, may kultura na of giving. Kasi you’re giving opportunity, you’re giving business, you’re giving livelihood that affects people’s lives positively. And ultimately it makes you more successful also.

"Kung iisipin mo, ang ganda ng concept, 'Kung magtulungan tayo at magkaisa, lahat tayo mananalo….Lahat tayo magtatagumpay…'

"Kaya nang maging successful ang Frontrow, paying it forward never left my consciousness. And this time, I want to pay it forward without getting anything in return. Sa madaling salita, gusto ko lang tumulong dahil nagtagumpay ako," said Sam, also host of the public service program Dear SV on GMA Network.

Sam added: "At ikaw mismo, ma-iinspire  ka. Kasi, sa bawat buhay na mabago mo, makikita mo sa mga mata ng mga taong natulungan mo ang kasiyahan na minsang na-experience mo nung nagtagumpay ka. At hindi mo makakalimutan yung pakiramdam na yun. Kapag nakita mong guminhawa ang buhay ng buong pamilya niya dahil sa tulong mo, walang kapalit yung kasiyahang mararamdaman mo because of that achievement. 

"And all these happiness is only cause tumulong ka. Kaya ang “Kultura ng Pagtulong”, ay isang napakalaking bahagi ng buhay ko. Dahil ang sukatan ko ng tagumpay ay hindi lang ang kayamanan kong natamasa kundi ang marami kong natulungan. Kaya lagi kong sinasabi  na “The True Purpose of Wealth is to help others.”
