SULIT TRUE TO ITS NAME; Online ad exchange yields millions for couple

Ang kakayahan at galing ng mga taga-Angono ay hindi lang sa larangan ng sining kundi maging sa makabagong teknolohiya ng Internet.

"RJ David dreamed of inventing something that can be used by many people. His wife, Arianne, wanted a business. Together, they established an online classified advertising site that got them what they both fancied—and more.

Sulit.com.ph (sulit is Tagalog for “worth it” or something that measured up to expectations) was created and launched in RJ’s bed room in 2006. It did not take long before the venture got him into a boardroom.

RJ and Arianne, his girlfriend then, started with an experimental website to test what product will bring the heaviest traffic.

“What we poured in was time and effort, not much in terms of money was needed,” RJ said.

Their first office, he said, was the terrace of his parents’ house in Angono, Rizal."
