<p>After opening his first business venture late last year with girlfriend Loisa Andalio, Ronnie Alonte shared how happy he is with the way the first quarter of his 2023 has been going so far.</p><p>“Okay naman, masaya. May mga shinoot kaming pelikula ni Loisa. Soon ipapalabas na din siya. And may mga offers na hindi pa din na-start. Blessed kami. Happy kami. Sa mga business naman namin, yung Farron consistent yung kita. Sana mas lumakas pa, pati yung mga next project namin, yung mga branches pa na itatayo this year. Sa south pa rin, sa Binan at saka meron sa LRT tapos meron sa school din. So soon yun,” he shared in an exclusive interview with PUSH during The Th3rd Floor Celebrity 3x3 basketball challenge held earlier this month.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpMzXUmvJu3/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A959592.2999999523%2C%22ls%22%3A959489.5999999046%2C%22le%22%3A959492.2000000477%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="773" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>The 26-year-old Star Magic artist admitted that he has learned to become a risk taker when it comes to investing and starting a new business, </p><p>“Kailangan natin sumugal sa negosyo kasi kung hindi natin i-ta-try, matatakot tayo. Ganun naman lagi eh. Kaya even before the pandemic, ang daming mga offers sa akin ng mga kaibigan, mga tropa ko or kung sino man na businessman. Sabi nila, ‘Ronnie, magpasok ka dito.’Hindi ko pinapansin. Kasi takot ako. Tapos nung nagka-pandemic, dun ko naintindihan na kailangan natin sumugal sa negosyo. Kasi pag natalo ka, eh di matututo ka. Pag nanalo ka, magtu-tuloy tuloy ka.”</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/12/10/ronnie-alonte-reveals-losing-p1b-in-cryptocurrency-during-car-burglary"><strong>READ: Ronnie Alonte reveals losing P1B in cryptocurrency during car burglary </strong></a></div><p>Now that he is expanding his businesses this year, Ronnie said it has always been important to him to have a separate source of income outside showbiz.</p><p>”Pag business yung pinag-uusapan, siyempre kasi sa industriya namin hindi naman araw-araw may work eh, yung kita di din naman everyday. Kumbaga bihira lang din. Sa isang taon, isang project, dalawang project. Yung endorsements minsan lang din. Yung raket minsan lang din. So kailangan natin ng income na tumatakbo kahit wala kang ginagawa.</p><p>“Kasi yun yung dream ko eh. Na kahit mawala ako sa showbiz, kung kelan man, meron akogn income na tuloy tuloy na pumapasok sa akin and masaya ako kasi unti-unti lumalaki and kumbaga lumalawak na din yung isip namin ni Loisa sa business kasi nag-start na kami pumasok dito. Kay Loisa yung Bloom Project nakapag-start na din. At saka may ilalabas pa silang bagong product na soon ma-lo-launch na. Sa kanya yun,” he admitted.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/10/28/fresh-scoops/look-loisa-andalio-throws-surprise-party-for-ronn-196576"><strong>READ: Loisa Andalio throws surprise party for Ronnie Alonte </strong></a></div><p>A passionate basketball player since he was in school, Ronnie played for Team Laguna which won the 1st The Th3rd Floor Celebrity 3x3 basketball tournament. But off the court, Ronnie revealed he was still nursing an injury in one of his legs.</p><p>“Naglalaro pa rin ako pag may time. Ngayon masakit siya eh kaya nahirapan ako. Pero narehab ko naman. Safe naman. Kasi yung mga kalaro naman hindi naman nananakit so safe,” he revealed.</p><p>Last seen in the iWantTFC series <em>Love in 40 Days,</em> Ronnie said his acting career is still on top of his priority list this year.</p><p>“Sa ngayon, priority ko umarte siyempre. Kung ano man yung ibigay na project sa akin, tuloy pa din ako. Hangga’t nandito pa yung mga opportunities, push lang. Kasi yung business nandiyan lang naman,” he said.</p><div><style rel="stylesheet">.scroll-wrapper {-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;}.scroll-wrapper iframe {border: none;}</style></div><div class="scroll-wrapper"><iframe id="MegaControllerIframe-1677806795789" style="width:100%;min-height:480px" src="https://controller.megaphonetv.com/?m=tqu4z&amp;iswebpoll=true&amp;poll_id=active"></iframe></div><script type="text/javascript">!function(){class e{constructor(t,s=null){this.type=null,this.fieldName=t,this.fieldValue=s,this.originMessageID=`${(new Date).getTime()}_${Math.random()}`,this.systemID=e.SYSTEM_ID}toPlainObject(){return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this))}}e.GET="GET",e.SET="SET",e.RESPONSE="RESPONSE",e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK="LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK",e.SYSTEM_ID="MP_FIRST_PARTY_DATA_BRIDGE";class t extends e{constructor(t,s,a=null){super(t,s),this.status=a,this.type=e.RESPONSE}}function s(){try{if("undefined"==typeof localStorage)return!1;try{return localStorage.setItem("testkey","testvalue"),localStorage.removeItem("testkey"),!0}catch(e){return!1}}catch(e){return!1}}if(window&&window.addEventListener){const a=document.getElementById("MegaControllerIframe-1677806795789");new class{constructor(){this.targetOrigin="*",this.bubblingMessages=new Map,this.beginListeningForMessages()}beginListeningForMessages(){window.addEventListener("message",this.messageListener.bind(this),!1)}messageListener(a){if(a.data.systemID!==e.SYSTEM_ID)return;let i=a.data.type,n=a.data.fieldName,r=a.data.fieldValue,g=new t;if(g.originMessageID=a.data.originMessageID,i===e.GET)g.fieldName=n,s()?this.handleGet(n,a.source,g):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.SET)s()?this.handleSet(n,r):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK)s()?this.handleLocalStorageCheck(a.source,g):this.checkForBubble(a.data,a.source,g);else if(i===e.RESPONSE){const e=this.bubblingMessages.get(a.data.originMessageID);null!=e&&(this.bubblingMessages.delete(a.data.originMessageID),e.source.postMessage(a.data,this.targetOrigin))}}handleGet(e,t,s){s.fieldValue=localStorage.getItem(e),s.status=200,t.postMessage(s.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)}handleSet(e,t){localStorage.setItem(e,t)}handleLocalStorageCheck(e,t){t.status=200,e.postMessage(t.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)}checkForBubble(e,t,s){!function(){try{return window.self!==window.top}catch(e){return!0}}()?(s.status=403,s.fieldValue=null,t.postMessage(s.toPlainObject(),this.targetOrigin)):this.bubbleMessage(e,t)}bubbleMessage(t,s){this.bubblingMessages.set(t.originMessageID,{message:t,source:s}),t.type!==e.GET&&t.type!==e.LOCAL_STORAGE_CHECK||setTimeout(this.handleBubbledMessageTimeout.bind(this),4e3,t,s),window.parent.postMessage(t,this.targetOrigin)}handleBubbledMessageTimeout(t,s){this.bubblingMessages.has(t.originMessageID)&&(this.bubblingMessages.delete(t.originMessageID),t.status=404,t.type=e.RESPONSE,s.postMessage(t,this.targetOrigin))}};window.addEventListener("message",function(e){e.data.hasOwnProperty("height")&&(a.style.height=(parseInt(e.data.height)+1).toString()+"px")},!1)}}();</script>
