PEOPLE BEHIND UPWORLDS SUCCESS: CEO, WOWIE RIVERA with wife ANGELOU DE LEON- RIVERA Living in two worlds The couple set up a networking business “I’m the corporate secretary of the company (Upworld Marketing). That’s my other side,” she quipped. “I have fun because the business also involves dealing with many types of individuals.” And how does she divide her time between work and home? ANGELU and Wowie, with baby Rafa, makeS sure they have lots of bonding time together at home. “With proper scheduling and time management,” she replied swiftly. She makes sure to have regular dinners with the entire family. “My husband and I have ‘alone’ dates as well.” Sometimes they go on short trips. “Even before we got married, he was my travel buddy,” she said. They started off as “badminton friends,” she recalled. “We met sometime in 2006. We were part of a big group of friends.” He came at a time in her life when she was already content being a single mom. Their friendship soon deepened and they found themselves defying previous expectations. While on a trip abroad, she realized that this was the real deal. “When you’re away from your comfort zone, you get to learn more about your partner,” she said. “That’s because you rely on each other, since you have no one else.” Curiously enough, they are self-confessed opposites, who hit it off beautifully. “We’re still different people,” Angelu said. “But we enjoy doing a lot of things together. We love sports. We love to chat. We love shopping together. Seldom do you find a man who doesn’t mind accompanying his wife to the mall. He’s very patient that way.” upworldph.tk/
