“I am an extremely driven and passionate person. I always set my eyes on the prize, and as people would describe me — what Nate wants, Nate gets,” says 27-year-old Yabut on his “The Apprentice Asia” profile page.

He was recognized as one of the top 7 marketers in the Philippines under the age of 35 in the 2012 Mansmith Young Market Masters Awards.
