Actress Dina Bonnevie revealed how her father brought her into business at an early age.
During a recent interview with broadcaster Korina Sanchez, Dina revealed that she was raised in a well-to-do family, but that she knew how to work to make her own money.
At 11, Bonnevie already understood what the business is, her parents coached them to work hard and earn whatever they want the hard way. Because they believed that "not everything is easy."
Bonnevie, who rose to fame via the movie "Underage," remembered what her father had told her. “You can do better than that, you should never settle for mediocrity, but always aim for excellence. If you want to have something, you should earn it. She needs to work for everything she wants to have.”

Victorino’s Restaurant isknown for its Ilocano dishes: bagnet, bagnet chips, poqui-poqui, warek-warek, to name a few.
Since then, Dina has worked hard to get everything she has at the moment. She also listened to the advice of her parents.
