Jonas Quilantang, a visionary entrepreneur, has transformed the uniform industry in the Philippines. Jonas' journey began not in a boardroom, but at the University of San Carlos Cebu. With a team of 10 people, Quilantang embarked on a mission to revolutionize uniforms, which has seen his company, UNISOL, burst into a workforce of 250. But Jonas' ambitions extended far beyond numbers, spearheading the launch of PTF, or Philippine Tropical Fiber, a groundbreaking uniform line crafted from sustainable pineapple fiber. This innovative approach not only elevates comfort and style for uniform wearers, but also serves as a point of national pride, showcasing the Philippines' potential in the world of sustainable textiles.
