Successful Filipina entrepreneur Abby Watabe takes the spotlight in 'The Bottomline' this Saturday (December 27) to share her experiences of how she made it in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Abby, daughter of a laundrywoman and a carpenter, now manages a total of 135 branches of luxury karaoke bars in Japan with internet cafes. A Japanese businessman took interest in her when she was working as a club entertainer. She initially doubted the man’s intentions but the Japanese businessman proved her wrong. Shortly after they got married, she worked as a marketing director and had a personality development training under Abigail Arenas. After the supertyphoon ‘Yolanda’ struck the Philippines, she helped the survivors with a 2.6 million-yen donation. She also discusses the importance of altering the perception of ‘Japayukis’ or Filipinas working in Japanese bars. Watch Abby Watabe as she shares the joys of helping others and how she found the real value of happiness in giving people opportunities.
