CBZN PERSPECTIVE: Our Story of Grit, Growth, and God’s Grace
To our clients – We are your team.
To the newly hired – It’s going to be tough, but it will be fun.
To my team – As our logo proudly says: Think Outside the Box.
2020 – The End That Became a Beginning
September 2020 – I received one of the hardest news I’ve ever had to deliver: our previous company, Cubizone Philippines, was shutting down operations.
By October, during our general assembly, I faced my team and told them the painful truth — we were about to lose our jobs. I saw the sadness in their eyes, but also the fire that refused to fade. We were all in the same boat, and as their captain, I couldn’t just let it sink.
A thought struck me — What if we built something of our own? Something that would carry the same people, the same talent, but with a new purpose and vision.
On November 27, 2020, our new company was officially born — CBZN Perspective. Derived from our former name, Cubizone, but this time, it’s our perspective. Our story. Our future.
Thanks to the unwavering support of our mentor and father figure, Mr. Lee Yew Hon, we were given our first few projects to help us stand on our feet.
By December 2020, we had our first payroll — just four employees: two contractuals and two who worked for free (myself and our finance, Rose Dagohoy).
It was humble beginnings, but it was filled with hope.
2021 – Building the Foundation
With limited resources but limitless determination, we started growing.
We began getting clients and projects, relying on teamwork, creativity, and the trust we had in one another.
Our Cebu development team, led by James Cabilino and our creative director Mark Ambing, helped raise our standards in design and web development.
Their passion—and sometimes stubborn perfectionism—became our secret weapon.
To our first international partners Mr. Wilson Low, Mr. Ernie Tan, and the Wilstech Malaysia team, thank you for believing in us.
To my mentor Sir Danny Fong, thank you for guiding me through the journey of entrepreneurship.
And to all our clients and partners — your trust became our motivation to keep improving every single day.
2022 – Growing Through Challenges
The world was still recovering from the pandemic, and like many others, we faced countless challenges — tight deadlines, financial risks, long nights.
But with every obstacle, our team only grew stronger.
We didn’t just survive — we learned, adapted, and evolved.
We became more than just a creative agency; we became a family bound by resilience and faith.
2023 – The Rise of Philippine Game Dev Expo
This was the year of creation and courage.
We launched one of our biggest and most ambitious projects yet — the Philippine Game Dev Expo (PGDX).
From concept to execution, it was a dream brought to life through teamwork, innovation, and passion for local gaming culture.
It marked a turning point, showing the world what a Filipino creative team could do when driven by heart and purpose.
2024 – Growth Beyond Expectations
Time flies. Four years ago, we were a small team of four.
Today, we stand as a thriving family of 32 strong individuals under the CBZN banner.
Through every challenge, we stayed true to our values — integrity, perseverance, and teamwork.
Every project, every client, and every late night became a stepping stone to where we are now.
2025 – Expanding Horizons
This year, we took bold steps to diversify and innovate.
We invested in Yugen Media — our platform for creative storytelling and media production.
We built 3C Tech, an internship hub to nurture young talents, and CubePass, our in-house ticketing system.
We launched Victus Grounds Printing, a support business dedicated to our clients’ printing and branding needs.
Together with MediaQuest, we pushed our latest IP — Philippine Game Show (PGS) — to new heights.
The journey isn’t over yet; we’re planning to add more gaming components and aim for a bigger venue next round.
Running an agency is never easy. But we’ve learned that challenges are opportunities in disguise.
That’s why we continue to diversify — from tech to media, from ideas to impact.
And through it all, one thing remains constant — our faith in God.
Because at the end of every victory and every trial, we can only say:
“Lord, Ikaw na po bahala sa amin.”
The Journey Continues
CBZN Perspective is not just a company — it’s a story of people who refused to give up. A team that turned loss into legacy.
A family that continues to think outside the box, dream bigger, and work harder every single day.
To our clients, our partners, and our team — this success is ours.
And this story? It’s just the beginning.
