He had always wanted to travel so right out of college at the age of 19, Alex Aquino got his first job as a flight attendant.
“I have not been late up to now. If I am going to be late, I will tell you two hours beforehand that I will be late. I also learned to feel good and to dress up properly, things that I have imbibed up to now,” he related.When he was looking for another job, his mother, who had been a financial comptroller at a hotel for 45 years, suggested that he try working in a hotel since he is into customer service. The rest, as they say, is history.
“We really promote peace of mind and serve organic food. It is something that you won’t really expect in a five-star hotel. A five-star hotel is all about luxury and extravagance, Here, no. We are young, fresh, relaxed. We want people to be at ease. So that is one thing that makes Swissotel so unique among the other hotels in the Philippines,” he related
He is used to living away from his family as he lived in Cebu for five years. He just made sure that there was a mall, beach and mountains nearby so that he would have the opportunity to disconnect when he needed an opportunity to get away from it all. “My mom asked me where I was going. I told her I was moving to Cebu in a week and that she would not see me at the house anymore. She was shocked and I went off to Cebu,” he said.The highlight of Aquino’s career so far was when he was named the 2021 awardee of the 7th Virtus Awards for Outstanding Hotel Sales and Marketing Manager given by the Hotel Sales and Marketing Association International Inc.
