His journey from a hardworking immigrant to a multifaceted entrepreneur has left an indelible mark on the realms of profitability, customer service, employee development, and personal growth.
FROM TONDO, PHILIPPINES TO CALIFORNIA, BETTER LIFE FOR HIS FAMILY DURING THEIR IMMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES
In 2000, Angelo embarked on a journey from Tondo, Philippines, to Los Angeles, driven by a desire to provide a better life for his family. He worked tirelessly, juggling roles as an accountant by day, janitor by night, and bartender on weekends. His professional journey is like a financial thriller, featuring key positions as comptroller, Chief Financial Officer, and Vice President in esteemed investment firms.
Picture Angelo orchestrating daily operations for massive assets, crisscrossing the nation to ensure peak performance for major management companies—a testament to his commitment to excellence and financial finesse.

Premier Property Preservation LLC: A Rising Star
Under the umbrella of VGC, Premier Property Preservation LLC (PPP) was established in 2017 and quickly secured janitorial contracts for prominent sites like the DMV and Las Vegas Convention Center. Angelo’s strategic leadership and PPP’s innovative approach, especially during the challenges of 2020, propelled the company to new heights.
During the pandemic’s uncertainty, PPP took bold steps by leveraging a call center and virtual assistants to secure contracts with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), outpacing competitors. Under Angelo’s guidance, PPP facilitated the safe reopening of over 1,100 schools, providing janitorial services and creating jobs for over 200 food service employees.
Angelo is actively pursuing contracts across the United States, positioning PPP to become one of the largest janitorial and property preservation companies in America. The company is also on track to become publicly traded soon.
