Event host RJ Ledesma recently spoke at the KainDustriya food entrepreneurship forum at the World Trade Center.

Ledesma met his ?idol? bilyonaryo Lucio Co, whose Puregold invited him to the event, and this inspired him to share this yarn of how he met his long lost ?uncle:

With the father-son team of Lucio and Vince Co of Puregold at KaIndistriya at World Trade Center:) For me, Lucio Co is the idol entrepreneur: a hard worker with an enterprising attitude and a resilient character. Allow me to share a story of how simple and humble I find Mr Lucio Co (who is the country's poorest paid billionaire):) When my wife @vanessapledesma and I were flying back to Manila from a business trip in Singapore, I told her that I spotted a gentleman who resembled Lucio Co in economy class. But I dismissed it, thinking that someone of Mr. Co's stature would take first class on an airplane. When we arrived in Manila and I was waiting for my wife to step up out of the plane, the gentleman whom I spotted the plane came up to me, smiled and shook my hand. It was Lucio Co! 'Uncle!' I exclaimed, 'what are you doing sitting in the economy class!?'. He laughed. When we were at the baggage claim area, he didn't have a retinue of bodyguards taking his baggage from the carousel and putting it into his trolley. He loaded up the trolley with his children and left quietly. When I grow up, I want to be like Lucio Co:) #kaindustriya2016 #rjledesma #rjledesmainspirationalspeaker #inspirationalspeaker #inspirationalspeakerphilippines
