LA TRINIDAD, Benguet -- Jack Dulnuan of the
popular Jack's Restaurant food chain,
finally made it to the provincial board
landing at No. 3 three for
District 2.
Dulnuan, who ran as congressional representative
for Benguet in the in the 2008 polls but lost, said he was happy as he would
now be given chance to help people of the province.
He said he would legislate measures that
promote livelihood programs especiallyfor the less fortunate.
Dulnuan, a living legend of patience and
perseverance, admitted politics was not in his blood but what pushed him to
enter the political arena was to share his experience of
achieving fortune while being an
inspiration to others.
He narrated he started as houseboy, but
persevered to get out of his
impoverished situation.
True enough with sheer determination, he
became a successful businessman.
Along the way, he could be seen digging to
plant or fertilize vegetables at his farm in Betag, La Trinidad where he later
built the Trinidad Valley Institute of |Technology.
His Jack's Rice popularized food toppings, a
complete meal with rice, meat and vegetables in La Trinidad and Baguio City.
His chain of restaurants is still one of
those most catered to by locals and visitors.
Lately, his family acquired the Jack’s
Viewpoint Hotel in Baguio City along Kisad Road.
Business is thriving for the self-made man
who has children equally thriving in business or their profession.
There is a solution to poverty only if one is
determined to do so, he said.
