In 2013, Que put up The Monochrome Events Place at Nuvali in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna province. “Since we had experience in doing events and regarded Nuvali as an emerging hub, we quickly seized the opportunity,” he said. While Michelle de Vera, the venue’s manager, is charged with day-to-day operations, Que and his wife determined the company’s direction.
