Behind Pablings Barbershop Aklan is Eduard Majabague Carpio, a native of Antique who previously lived in Aklan and currently resides in Ireland, where he owns and operates Filipino Bakery and Café in Dublin.

Majabague’s business journey reflects the determination of overseas Filipinos to establish businesses abroad while maintaining strong connections with their roots in the Philippines.

In Dublin, Filipino Bakery and Café marks his venture into the food and hospitality industry, bringing Filipino flavors and a sense of home to the community. Meanwhile, Pablings Barbershop Aklan, a franchise of the nationwide Pablings Barbershop chain owned by Michael Padayao, highlights Majabague’s entrepreneurial spirit and enduring connection to his hometown.

Pablings Barbershop Aklan aims to serve customers in the province by providing haircutting and grooming services in a welcoming environment.

For Majabague, his journey from Antique to Ireland and his business venture in Aklan reflect how success abroad can go hand in hand with maintaining ties to home. His success story is a reminder that no matter how far life takes Filipinos, there are purposeful ways to stay connected to their roots and contribute to communities in the Philippines.
