This is my side of this

Early this year a neophyte writer who claimed to be witting for the magazine set an interview with me to write about me and potato corners. We did the interview in our office and because it was about me, I told him my perspective about how I rose from being a working student and crew of Wendy's to the success of potato corner.

Then later, the article was published in the April or May issue of entrepreneur Magazine. To my surprise, I found it in accurate and I found some things that I think I was misquoted about. The article was never sent to me for approval before it was published.

Jenny Wieneke called me and called me over the phone "walang hiya ka . . ." and other stuff. And she told me she will write and complain to the Editor in Chief. I said sorry to her and I told her I never tell anyone that I started Potato Corner on my own, hat it was my idea and was its originator, as the article mentioned. I told Jenny that I was probably mis quoted. And I know that this new writer told things based on his pick up of his interview on me. If you see my history of interviews and write up and talks about myself and potato corner, I never mention that I was the one who started and originated it and in fact I give credit always to the Partners who invited me to join.

Now, even if I made a mistake, which people do, I hope the article that Jenny wrote and published by Entrepreneur Magazine the following month after that neophytes article was enough to correct this and time to all of the parties to move on.

I have no problem that Jenny wrote an article against the article written about me and Potato Corner because the article was indeed inaccurate but I do think that further posting on the web is no longer fair and balanced and will continue to destroy an image of the brand and the goodwill we have made for it.
