Twenty-one-year-old Tricia Gosingtian describes herself a creative entrepreneur. She has been engaged in different activities that pursue her passion – like freelance photography, modelling, styling, blogging, among others. Tricia has also professionally practiced her art, as publications and brands continuously consult and collaborate with her for her work. At a young age, she feels that she has so much more to share through her craft.

Another awardee is the man behind the popular “OurAwesomePlanet” blog. In fact, he even almost went bankrupt when he left his high-paying job just to pursue this passion. When the art of blogging was still new, Anton Diaz started Our Awesome Planet in 2005 with the intention of creating a family blog. Presently, Anton continues to share his dreams and the beauty of the Philippines to the world through Our Awesome Planet, which has also proven to be a successful entrepreneurial venture.

Reymont Choachuy, President of Noble House, is also passionate about something Filipino – the Pinoy street food. In fact, the battle cry of his food business is to produce clean and quality street foods that are reasonably priced. Noble House presently carries successful franchise brands like Sam’s Everything on Sticks, Itlog on Sticks, Sumomai and Ferino’s Bibingka. All these concepts came from Reymont’s commitment in producing quality and safe Pinoy street food.
