TESTIMONIALS
“We are now the ‘captains’ of our own business”
ROY and ROEL VILLARIN
Former Chief
Mate & 2nd Mate- international ocean vessels
Brother Roy
and Roel were sailing to different shores of the world. However, their high- earning jobs as OFWs could not make up
for the loneliness brought about by being away from home. With the brothers’
firm resolve and encouragement from siblings who are long-time Julie’s
franchisees, Roy & Roel, equally determined to become Julie’s partners in Southern Cebu, decided to take the plunge. That decision
took its turn for the better, making the Villarin brothers the proud ‘captains’
of their own Julie’s Bakeshop.

being with Julie’s is a worthy experience, both challenging ands financially
rewarding. Now with Julie’s, Ting and Malou finally found their recipe for
