Joshua Garcia had to go back to school before investing in the newly-opened music school Academy of Rock (AOR) Philippines.
He told RAWR Nation that fellow actor Enchong Dee convinced him to join in on the endeavor.
“Bago ako makapasok sa Academy of Rock, bumalik ako ng school para mag-aral ng business entrepreneur. Pinitch niya [Enchong Dee] sa akin ‘tong Academy of Rock.“ he said.
“Marami siyang [Enchong Dee] mga business. Pinitch niya saakin ‘tong Academy of Rock.Hindi siya mahirap mahalin kasi alam mong may natutulungan kang tao. Alam mo para siya sa education ng iba, para sa elevation ng iba.” he added.
He seeks to up his knowledge of business by learning at school and from his partners.
“Gusto ko ring matuto sa mga business partners ko while I’m studying sa college ko.”
The young actor actually stopped schooling for a while as things got more challenging, but he intends to finish what he started.
“Ngayong taong nag break lang ako ng saglit kasi napakahirap kasi ikaw lang gagawa ng papers pero I think babalik din ako. Parang ako lang kasi gumagawa lahat so mahirap talaga pero kakayanin.” he shared.
Garcia sees the music school eventually becoming a success and plans on investing in other businesses in the future,
“I’m just very optimistic sa school na ‘to. Gusto ko mas lumaki pa kami at makipag franchise sa ibang lugar para mas lumawak pa yung mga matutulungan namin,”
He currently studies at Southville International School Affiliated with Foreign Universities (SISFU) in Las Piñas.
