Being a father is not easy, especially if you have to juggle fatherhood and work, and at the same time keeping yourself in style. Let\u2019s all learn from Tobi Ang<\/strong>, a father to his two young girls and a leader of The Angcore Motor Group in Davao, where he sits as vice-president and COO, some tips on how he manages his work without compromising fatherhood and style.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy day always starts waking up and spending time with my girls. The girls, Michelle, my wife, and our two girls are early risers, so I get to spend some quality family time with them before heading to the office,\u201d<\/em> shares Tobi.<\/p>\n

\"M&S<\/p>\n

Tobi is one of Davao’s well-dressed young men, let’s all find out how his manner of dressing changed from being single to becoming a dad.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s family time like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any time I get to spend with my wife and kids is quality family time for me. Usually, our best moments are those spent at home.<\/em><\/p>\n

As for fatherhood, it\u2019s is my greatest challenge and responsibility. I hope I’m able to raise good kids, who will become positive contributors to society.<\/em><\/p>\n

And husband and wife time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"M&S<\/p>\n

Since our kids are still very young, we barely get our own time. We try to squeeze in a vacation once in a while, otherwise, we just put on our headphones and enjoy watching our favorite TV Shows while the kids are fast asleep.<\/em><\/p>\n

How about \u201cme\u201d time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Angcore Group has Kia, Chevrolet & Mahindra dealerships in the Davao region and General Santos, so I barely have “me” time. But I am a big believer in staying healthy in order to maximize the time you have and what you can do with it. So, I try my best to allocate time for working out. Lately, it’s been rowing, Pilates and HIIT Training three times a week. It clears my mind and gives me the energy to keep up with my kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your fashion style?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"M&S<\/p>\n

I used to dabble in more fashion forward and trendy styles when I was much younger, but I’ve since moved on to a more classic look. I always go with what makes me feel comfortable and confident to take on anything. If you call that my signature look, then I’ll go with it.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was never good at following fashion icons. I see something I like and I get inspired by the look, but I don’t take note of who was wearing it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Has the closet contents changed much now that you\u2019re married with kids?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d say I’m a much more practical dresser these days. When you have kids who are as active as mine, it’s difficult to maintain a blazer, well pressed shirt or polished leather shoes. I used to travel with all those items checked. Nowadays, I accessorize with a hip seat carrier, diaper backpack, cargo pants & sneakers.<\/em><\/p>\n

I wear polo shirt, jeans or slacks and loafers during the day, and when there are nice events, I don’t mind putting on a good suit every now and then. I always try to dress appropriately for every occasion.<\/em><\/p>\n

Who shops for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do a lot of my own shopping and do it when I have to, so it’s not that often. I try to limit my clothes to what I can wear and let go of items I no longer use.<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you set a price limit when shopping for clothes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"M&S<\/p>\n

I always look at value for money, so price is relative. I buy things of good value, and I never spend on something I’m not comfortable wearing. If I have to worry about damaging what I’m wearing, and have to be extra careful, then it’s too expensive for me. I usually buy brands that feel & look good and stay that way for quite a while.<\/em><\/p>\n

Your Lola Pat (Montemayor) is an avid M&S shopper. How does M&S appeal to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

M&S will always be relevant and it appeals to all generations. But personally, it will always have a special place in my heart, since I bought my first suit from their Shangri-la branch for my junior prom a few decades ago.<\/em><\/p>\n

What important piece of clothing should a dad have in his wardrobe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comfortable shoes, and maybe a good watch that tells you when it’s time to go home.<\/em><\/p>\n
