Crickette tantoco biography for kids
"We had lived out of the country for 10 years," Crickette traces their odyssey..
Bienvenido “Donnie” Tantoco III disproves an old adage about family businesses not lasting three generations. He and his cousins carry on the legacy and are helping flourish Rustan’s, the retail enterprise their grandparents Bienvenido “Benny” Tantoco Sr.
and Gliceria “Glecy” Rustia-Tantoco built in 1952.
Donnie and Crickette work together with daughters Camille Tantoco Ng, Nicole Tantoco de los Reyes, and son Christian Tantoco, utilizing their unique talents.
It was then expanded by the couple’s children to become today’s Rustan Group of Companies.
Donnie is the president of Rustan’s Commercial Corp. that runs the conglomerate’s first and flagship company, Rustan’s Department Store.
He’s also a cofounder, as well as the president and chief executive officer, of the mixed specialty store, grocery, and restaurant called Joel’s Place.
He and his wife Crickette Yu-Tantoco have ventured into their own with Nena’s Sanctuary, described as an “omni-channel, lifestyle retail and leisure destination.” They built it as an homage to Donnie’s parents, Rico and Nena Tantoco, who developed the Sta.
Elena Golf and Country Estate in the city of Sta. R
