From Cruise Lines to Car Lines: VPX Welcomes Dr. Sarah and Kenneth Padron-Lumalang as Newest Franchise Owners in Pasig City

Quezon City, Philippines — VPX Auto Service Franchising, a pioneering brand under ValuePlus Auto Service Philippines Inc, is pleased to announce the signing of its newest franchisees, Dr. Mary Sarah Padron and her husband John Kenneth Lumalang.

Situated in the bustling city of Pasig, the young couple brings a fresh burst of energy and innovation to the network.

Both overseas Filipino professionals, Dr. Sarah is a practicing physician, while Kenneth has a background in the Food and Beverage sector in the cruise industry.

As they embark on this new chapter, the couple balances the ambitious task of establishing their franchise with the joys and challenges of raising a family.

“I’ve always been fascinated by cars and the complexities of auto maintenance.” Channeling this enthusiasm into a VPX franchise is a dream come true. “We strive to deliver exceptional service by combining medical precision with culinary flair,” adds Dr. Sarah.

Kenneth, her husband, adds, “We are thrilled to be a part of a brand that resonates with our values.” VPX is innovative and customer-focused, qualities we want to instill in our own franchise.”

“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Dr. Sarah and Kenneth into our VPX family,” says ValuePlus President Normann Chiu. Their particular skill set and enthusiasm for the business make them great franchisees.”

Mark Saberola, GM of ValuePlus, is equally upbeat, saying, “Dr. Sarah and Kenneth embody the spirit of what VPX aspires to be—versatile, committed, and focused on delivering top-notch service.” Their various backgrounds promise an intriguing dynamic that we can’t wait to experience. 

A Journey Fueled by Aspirations and Icing: Dr. Mary Sarah Padron and John Kenneth Lumalang with their one-of-a-kind ‘Opening Soon’ cake, a heartfelt gift from VPX, capturing the promise and excitement of their forthcoming auto service venture in Pasig City.

While many may think that a physician and an F&B specialist branching into auto care is a stretch, Dr. Sarah and Kenneth defy this perception.

Their diverse skill set not only enriches the VPX brand but also challenges the traditional notion that auto servicing is a domain reserved for mechanics and engineers. 

The Pasig City branch in Eagle Avenue in Brgy. Ugong, set to open its doors soon, marks another milestone for VPX Auto Service Franchising in its quest to revolutionize auto care in the Philippines.

The addition of this talented couple to the VPX roster is a clear indication of the brand’s inclusive and forward-thinking approach.
