Subanen native Emerilyn
Suya, President of Contact Center Network Group (CCNG), expanded her horizon as
a successful designer and entrepreneur, taking the role as franchise holder at
Misters of Filipinas Zamboanga Peninsula.
Suya held a Meet &
Greet Charity Night recently for CCNG with the proceeds to go to its social
responsibility projects to help local communities sustain their way of life.
Suya was joined by PEPPS president Carlo Morris Galang, founder of Misters of
Filipinas, and David Salon consultant Mother J Samonte.
Suya, who was born in a
farm but grew up in the big city, got her first taste in fashion trade when she
moved and live with her teacher aunt and engineer uncle who loved music and
fashion. She enrolled in a fashion school and learned her trendsetting designs
and ideas as well as studying online for sewing, drawing, pattern making
and drafting.
From a very young age, she
started working with different offline businesses, marketing local and
international cosmetics and networking with fashion industry leaders. She
traveled to Europe and Southeast Asia which further flourished her
love for fashion.
Following her dreams and
not giving up, she built on her confidence and soon found great time developing
and designing new patterns that expounded into high-end stylish and chic
clothing line.
Suya now owns the Lorieme
Fashion Collections in Makati and the Ems Eco Resort in Salug, Zamboanga de
Norte. “Passion keeps me going. I just followed my heart’s wishes, focus on
what I’m doing and never giving up. It’s not about designing for people, but
being happy about what you’re doing,” said the Zamboanganian native. “I also
want to create something that’s educational. I take inspiration in nature and I
want them to learn how to appreciate nature,” she added.
After getting her
introduction as marketing director in 2009, Suya continued to develop and
redefine her own style of clothing, apparel and accessories for both personal
and business consumers. Her collections consist of women and men’s fashion,
customize dresses, women’s office wear, jewelries and make up for all occasion.

in Zamboanga Del Norte, to provide materials for learning for the
villagers to have an opportunity to have a better life. (Report and Photos by Eton Concepcion)
