Hard work, thrift pays off for Fisher Mall operator

ROBERTO “Bobby” del Rosario, whose core business was fishing, has every reason not to be bothered by any property burst that might come in the country as he land banks and develops properties for use in his future businesses.

He soft opened Fisher Mall supermarket (called Fisher Foods) on Tuesday right at the problematic 2.4-hectare Pantranco Bus Co. property, which he bought for close to a billion pesos in recent years. Of this property, he developed only half for the five-storey Fisher Mall with reservations for other future projects in the hospitality industry.
