The 31-year-old, who founded local F&B startup Chunk & Dunk, stood out from more than 1,100 submissions by entrepreneurs from across the country.

Adam, who is also known as a content creator, received the recognition at the 10th annual 100MIYE award ceremony held here on Friday.

He said the accolade reflected perseverance and growth after navigating the realities and pressures of building a business from the ground up.

“This award is truly a humbling and rewarding experience for me, and it shows that with hard work and sacrifice, the effort will eventually pay off,” he said.
