The Obstacle
He was not born rich like other successful entrepreneurs. Que came
from humble beginnings. As a survivor of World War II, he was orphaned and was
deprived of the chance to study early on.
The Triumphs
Since pharmacies that time hardly sold sulfiathiazole, Que then decided
to invest his P100 to buy the drug and sell these in single doses to reach the
poverty-stricken communities. Selling Sulfathiazole by individual pieces, Que was
able to save enough to open up the first outlet of Mercury Drug in Bambang,
Manila on March 1, 1945
The founder of Mercury Drug, Mariano Que, was a modest and private
individual who avoided the spotlight. Despite making significant contributions on
the healthcare industry, he preferred working in quiet and allowing his successes
speak for themselves. Que's dedication to excellence and service was evident, yet
he remained modest, embodying humility and integrity throughout his career.
Greatinnovator and entrepreneur whose business practice was marked by humility
(he was) a self-effacing man who abhorred the limelight.”
