The leaders we call dad

At Mang Inasal, leadership is more than hitting business targets—it’s about showing up with purpose, leading with empathy, and living out values that uplift both teams and communities.

This Father’s Day, Mang Inasal shines the spotlight on three of its inspiring father-leaders—men who not only guide their families with love but also help steer the brand with integrity and heart.

Leading with Purpose: A Marketer and a Dad

For Allan Tan, Mang Inasal’s Head of Marketing, leadership starts with intention—and fatherhood has only deepened that resolve.

“I want to build brands, products, and campaigns that my children can be proud of,” Allan shares.

This vision has fueled standout campaigns like Kaing Mang Inasal and Love the Flavors, Love the Philippines, which celebrate Filipino heritage, family bonds, and the joy of sharing meals.

More than just strategy, Allan brings a personal lens to his work—one rooted in values.

“At Mang Inasal, we live by ‘mahusay, masayahin, mapagmalasakit, at buo ang loob.’ These aren’t just workplace values—they’re life values I want my children to grow up with,” he adds.

For Allan, home and work are not separate spheres—they are interconnected bridges where purpose and legacy can thrive.

Managing Finance, Nurturing Hearts

As Senior Finance Manager, Clifford Kaquilala handles numbers and forecasts. But his leadership is deeply human.

Though based in Manila and separated from his family in Cebu, Clifford remains a present and devoted father.

“Fatherhood has made me more responsible and empathetic. I don’t just think about the financial impact—I consider the emotional and long-term effects, too,” he explains.

He leads with calm, compassion, and a future-focused mindset. Whether he’s overseeing budgets or video calling his daughter on weekends, Clifford strives to be a role model she can admire—someone hardworking, thoughtful, and kind.

Operational Excellence, Grounded in Compassion

In North Mindanao, Area Manager Jonrey Solicito begins his day before sunrise—juggling reports, operations, and team coaching across multiple Mang Inasal branches. But when the weekend comes, it’s all about family.

“It’s tiring, but fulfilling,” he says, recalling bonding moments like bike rides, sharing balut, or watching sunsets with his children.

For Jonrey, both fatherhood and leadership are acts of service.

“Patience is the biggest lesson I’ve learned as a father. I try to lead with empathy, always reminding myself that each team member has their own journey,” he shares.

His quiet dedication and steady presence have made a lasting impact—both at work and at home.

Honoring Fathers, Celebrating Leadership

This Father’s Day, Mang Inasal pays tribute to dads like Allan, Clifford, and Jonrey—true embodiments of Tatak Mang Inasal, who lead not just with skill, but with heart.

Their stories remind us that leadership isn’t defined by position or power. It’s found in the values we live, the people we uplift, and the love we pour into every role—whether in the workplace or within our families.

Because at the end of the day, the most enduring leadership begins with care, grows with purpose, and leaves a legacy for generations.
