Carmen\u2019s Best Ice Cream founder Francisco \u201cPaco\u201d Magsaysay talks to Rising Tigers Magazine about his famous grandfather, former president of the Philippines, Ramon Magsaysay. Discussed also how his father, Senator Ramon Magsaysay Jr., and his partners established the dairy farm in Bay, Laguna, and the reason why the ice cream brand is named after his only daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arriving at the sprawling dairy farm in Bay, Laguna just 1.5 hour drive from Manila is a dream come true to many especially those who want a quiet and peaceful surrounding outside the hustle and bustle of the city. Surrounded by mountains, you can see right away the imported healthy cows, the processing plant, and the greeneries in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s Paco waiting and with a ready smile telling us also the breakfast he got for us. It\u2019s a planned interview and with his stature and as one of the award-winning entrepreneurs, he only proves that truly a successful entrepreneur knows how to handle his guests with a charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the discussion started with his well-loved grandfather, the famous President of the people, President Ramon Magsaysay. Nobody likes to compete with him in the election and his demise in an airplane crash and the devastation of the Filipino people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe was very good, for the poor, nobody wanted to run against him, so sincere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The start of Carmen\u2019s Best Ice Cream<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Paco also mentioned that the farm belonged to his father, former Senator Ramon Magsaysay Jr, and his partners. When there\u2019s an oversupply of milk, his dad approached him to do something about it. With an existing business in the broadband cable industry, farming is super far and doesn\u2019t have a connection with it. But as a son, he can\u2019t say no and trained himself for the task and launched \u201cCarmen\u2019s Best Ice Cream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s 100% Pure Fresh Milk\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s with the name?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Carmen, Paco\u2019s only daughter was born in 1997, she\u2019s the name of the brand, Carmen\u2019s Best. The fact that it is Carmen’s name Paco mentioned that he will never shortchange the quality of the ice cream because it\u2019s the name of her precious and only daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will not cut back on ingredient to save or to earn even for a bit of money because that means I am not being true to my daughter. It\u2019s personal to me. Being a parent, I will not short change the product. The fact that it\u2019s my daughter\u2019s name, I made it the best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On helping the Filipino people to earn<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe work with resellers. Since we want them to earn from day one. I wanted from the start that both the resellers and us to earn at the same time. There\u2019s no franchising cost and other fees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Life and Business according to Paco<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Paco worked so hard even at a young age. He grew up in the states from age 12 to 25 and experienced discrimination especially in getting jobs. When he needed a job, he needed to look for it and apply. He mentioned that it\u2019s hard to get a job especially when you\u2019re Asian. It\u2019s different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this interview, we gathered some inspiring words from him about life and business<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 You cannot say yes to everybody
\u2022 What\u2019s right is right
\u2022 It\u2019s what you put in the product, that\u2019s why we\u2019re here for 11 years
\u2022 Because it\u2019s so different, they keep buying from us
\u2022 When we grow old, we like to eat fresh. That\u2019s Carmen\u2019s Best
\u2022 I got into something that I truly enjoyed. That\u2019s why I look young
\u2022 Be happy with what you\u2019re doing
\u2022 Surround yourself with the right people<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, we love people who are genuine and with a heart not just for their families but for the Filipino people. It shows that Carmen\u2019s Best has truly become part of a lot of people\u2019s lives. We compared and yes – so pure and an indulgence. As you hear others talk about the product, they have a big smile on their face not just because of the taste but also because of the inspiring story. The love of the son for his father and the love of this father for his daughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
