Born in Iloilo and raised in Roxas City, Injap attended the University of San Agustin in Iloilo City with dreams of being an architect. But he dropped out of college when he was only 19. He went on to start several small businesses, dabbling in a laundry shop, a photo-developing business, and even a small local hotel. It wasn’t until seven years la...
Due to his Filipino-Chinese father’s beliefs in feng shui, Injap was almost about to call his fast-food shop “Mng Inasal,” because this was one letter closer to eight letters, an auspicious number of letters that success stories like Jollibee and Chowking also possess. Injap was able to persuade his father to let him stick with the 10-letter “Mang ...
“Injap” is actually a nickname friends and family fondly call him, derived from his parents’ heritage. His mother, Pacita, is half-Japanese or “jap,” and his father, Edgar Sia Sr., is half-Chinese or “intsik.” In a joking but fond manner, the nickname “Injap” was born to honor his parents’ lineage. Aside from his multicultural background, Injap is ...

Back when Mang Inasal was still under his ownership, Injap found a mentor in one of the country’s most successful self-made businessmen—Jollibee founder Tony Tan Caktiong. Their business relationship began in 2010 when Mang Inasal’s rapid growth and consumer success caught the eye of Jollibee Group. By then, what started as a small restaurant in Il...
In the same way the former aspiring architect is now building instead of designing through DoubleDragon, Injap also went back his roots when he set up MerryMart, a grocery chain that is reminiscent of his grandfather who started his own grocery store in the ‘50s, and his parents who’ve been running their own grocery store since the ‘80s. This time,...
“There’s a very thin line between being aggressive and being purely reckless; I’m aggressive, but not reckless,” said Injap. “I consider myself a risk-taker. But I think there’s also a defensive side to taking risks, which is very important.” Aggressive business mentality is what has brought him to this point, but had he been reckless, he would hav...
There’s no such thing a luck for Injap. Or at least, if there is, it’s because men make their own luck. “I think success is a series of correct decisions. Every decision that’s made today was made because you thought it was right today; and, as a leader and a business founder, that’s your job—to keep making decisions all day. “For ten decisions you...
Having cash in the bank might make some people spendthrifts and frivolous, but for Injap, it only made him more conservative and challenged. “Up to a certain level, money makes your life more comfortable. Only up to a certain level. After that, you don’t feel a significant difference anymore especially if you have set your personal contentment leve...
