Less than two years after opening its first location, Above Sea Level Restaurant (ASL) is looking at becoming the first successful fast-food chain in the Philippines sourcing its main ingredients from the sea. ASL came into being in January 2017, after the husband-and-wife team of Polsan Pangindian Jr. and Winna Baldonado decided they could make their fortune in the Philippines, as well as overseas Filipino workers in Dubai. They then registered the sole proprietorship they called ASL 2421 Above Sea Level Seafood Bistro with the Department of Trade and Industry.
