OTE GIVES BACK The success of ONLINE TRAVEL EXPRESS goes beyond its being a travel agency that caters to the individual needs of its travellers. OTE Charities regularly conducts monthly charity missions to share blessings with the less fortunate, particularly elementary schools, street children and the homeless. According to Pabilona, his charity works have grown alongside his travel agency business also because of the overwhelming support of loyal customers and suppliers in every charitable activity.
Running a successful business with a cause is not only a fulltime job for the young businessman but has also become an advocacy for Pabilona. ONLINE TRAVEL EXPRESS has won several business awards and has been featured several times on television programs on UNTV and the MONEYWISE TV Show on GMA News TV. OTE is now open for franchising.
