That was really the success, skipping one step. That&#x27;s the secret.&quot;<div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2017/business/10/30/1030-cathy-yang.jpg?ext=.jpg"/><figcaption>Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc President Ronald Mascarinas talks to ANC&#x27;s Cathy Yang.

In marketing being different is the best proposition,&quot; he said.Bounty Agro also has 2 other rotisserie brands, Uling Roasters and Reyal, which comes with sauce.Uling Roasters uses flavors tailor made for a planned African foray, which was scuttled by the Ebola outbreak in Ghana, Mascarinas said.Reyal, on the other hand is flavored with honey, chili pepper and garlic bits, he said.&quot;A lot of people demand sauce. We don&#x27;t want to lose that market,&quot; he said.Catch full episodes of The Boss on iWantTV and tfc.tv.
