This is AFICIONADO GERMANY PERFUME LAOAG. The Outlet started in February 19, 2004 when it had the first chance to market the country's number 1 exquisite and classy scents - the aficionado germany perfumes.  It was then the first Franchisee ever established in the whole island of the Philippines. When CACI with Sir Joel Cruz as CEO/President had the concept on propagation through kiosks and showcases at different malls in the  Metro Manila areas, I personally met smart sales personnels who introduced such as these without knowing that I could be attracted. I tried two, purchased it and brought home with me, shared some sprays to close friends and wore these perfumes every now and then.  Polo Sports and Hugo Boss were my first favorites that indeed captured my soul to become fanatic - which that is what aficonado really means. i was traveling to Manila back then at the years 2002 and 2003 for some ministerial conferences when I was visiting their two outlets at Times Plaza and Robinson's Malate where I asked and kept asking about the idea of franchising for a reason that I wanted to do something as my 'tent-making' work aside from what I do in the ministry - for me not to burden so much the church for financial support - thinking of an important resources of what I need for self and ministry - that as I moved along, it was all dealt with prayers for I know I could be guided well in every step of the way - and I noticed i was and the Lord at that time had started to show possibilities though I was seeing impossibilities. I did not lose hope, I did not quit, I kept pursuing that even for five attemtps of asking, I have never heard a positive response and no open door for the company to go for franchising until such time that I made another visit at Robinson's at early part of 2004 where i saw a small sheet of poster on the kiosk telling that the company is open for those who are interested in franchising to go to their office.  I did not hasitate to move and headed straight to their office, asked all the procedures and equirement until I made a deal with the Franchise Department headed by a nice, smart and workaholic guy, Sir Neil Dela Vega with few staff members who made my way so clear to entrepreneurship. I went home that day and started to share with close people i knew who'd become the best advocate to this venture.  it was then at this time to become honest with the Lord and write down all the objectives coupled with much prayers and started to work preliminary requirements with Gentle Suguitan who is now the Senior Sales Manager of the Outlet. The Outlet was then dedicated to the Lord on the 19th of February 2004 in the presence of some of our JIA church members, the CEO, President, Sir Joel Cruz and his mom, who had been so thoughtful, generous and helpful, close friends who helped support the promotion and motorcade campaign, Rev. Mariano Gonzales who did the dedication prayer, the motorbike associations of Laoag who helped making so much noise during the motorcade and most to my family who have become part of the journey with their selfless love and support since it started. All that happened are the results of prayers, faithfulness, hardwork, motivation, confidence, open-mindedness and generosity - that through these can only make things happen. It took these same qualities to put up like AFICIONADO GERMANY PERFUME LAOAG. Now the outlet caters thousands of people in the whole province, serves what scents they really want the most and pursues more opportunities to network with others through the net for them to wear the perfumes they have never worn in their life - a perfume that boosts one's conifdence and style - a scent that attracts someone to become exquisite and fanatic in this fashionable generation. Be aficionado!
