It was in 1997 when he decided to go back to his native land Philippines and still helped his parents run the Original Matutina Restaurant. In the same year, he met Imelda Pasion and got married. In view with his knowledge in Food and Catering, he then asked permission from his parents to put up his own restaurant business. In the Year 1998, with the help of his wife, they have built a Matutina Annex on their own. Gerry and Imelda strived on, personally responsible of everything, from marketing of raw materials such as fish, vegetables and all the spices that goes with our dishes. It doesn’t stop from there, they did the cooking, washing the dishes and mere putting their Restaurant speck and span. They serve dishes that are basically prepared from organic produce. And the most important part is making sure that they serve the freshly catch seafood.

The name Matutina became very famous when people knew that prominent politicians and well known celebrities come regularly to sample Matutina’s sumptuous Filipino dishes.

Having the status of a natural entrepreneurs and because of a highly demand of customers, Gerry and Imelda decided to expand the business and built another branch in Urdaneta City in the year 2003. They essentially created jobs for the less fortunate Filipino people.
