Hours after he landed in Davao City, Philippines -- Michael Zee, "Mike Zee" as we call him, headed down to our Office to see how things are going. Gathered in a room that almost doesn't fit everyone from engineering and marketing, Mike Zee never wasted time and directly talked about his experiences and his personal story with Onerent. A brief yet, very concise introduction about himself and what he does in the past years.
So what do we know about Mike Zee?
- He served as the Top Legal Adviser at Google
- He was one to the first hire employee at Google

- He stayed in Japan for about six years
There's too much to tell but I'll leave it to those who were in the room.
Dinner time, we grab food and drinks from a native local restaurant "Belitos". Where Mike really appreciate we bought him there rather than bringing him to a fancy class resto.
