JP Adena's Story:
JP grew up poor, bounced from house to house, lived day by day and is very thankful of it. These circumstances created in him a resilient attitude and a drive to get out of poverty. Like everyone else.
Uncomfortable beds of friends and couches of family members where he used to sleep frequently is not really a problem because he is used to sleeping on old cardboard boxes on the floor. JP often credits being able to sleep soundly anywhere and anytime without the feeling of uneasiness.
Sleeping soundly with the sound of our own concrete jungle, Manila, with ten wheeler trucks at 2am, making the floor shake, is his own version of soothing spa music on a massage bed.
JP Adena has always been an entrepreneur. He was just not led to it in the beginning. But destiny created all these super powers so he can survive and be persistent in handling mishaps and tragedies thrown at him when the time comes. Business is hard. It eats you up and spits you out all slimy and dirty. JP firmly believes that being poor and barely surviving made him what he is today--still poor (but not for long) and still barely surviving (but happy).
