Thirsty and Mooon Café are well-known brands that started in Cebu. They were both acquired by Pages Holdings Inc (PHI) and have grown and expanded nationwide. No doubt, the Pages group belongs to the movers and shakers when it comes to the food and beverage industry of the Queen City of the South – just look at their success with Mooon Café that began with a one-store operation and is now a fast growing chain of more than 15 restaurants in just four years.

This November, another contribution of the Pages group to Cebu’s restaurant and tourism industry is the launching of LANTAW Floating Native Restaurant located in Cordova, Mactan. One restaurant after another, year after year—how do they do it? “Hard work, passion and a matter of choosing the right people to do the job,” says Bunny Pages. During his speeches or in one-on-one chats, he always shares what he practices: “Put the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus and the right people in the right seats.”
