ITO'Y in the context of the Filipino language means "IT IS".
Thus one may interpret it as "IT IS A COFFEE HAUS". But
people not familiar with the language would probably think
that ITOY'S... is the possessive form of ITOY to mean "IT'S
MY COFFEE HAUS".
However, it is not what people may perceive it to be,
because the name "ITOY" is the nickname of the grand old man
of the Marcelo Clan - Benito Jason Marcelo, Jr. The father
of Mrs. Ma. Editha Marcelo Bayron, the owner of Itoy's
Coffee Haus.
Girlie as she is fondly called by friends and relatives,
started to dream of owning her coffee shop while sipping her
favorite cup in one of Metro Manila's prestigious coffee
shops. She would go coffee shop hopping to get a taste of the
differentcoffee mixes in the market. Thus on
December 8, 2005, after ten (10) years of careful planning
and market research, Girlie finally established Itoy's
Coffee Haus in the heart of Puerto Princesa City. Two years
later, December 8, 2007, she opened a branch at Barangay San
Pedro, Puerto Princesa City.
ITOY and EVING - the couple in their lifetime lived a
simple life. Itoy would spend most of his time tending to his
farm at Tagburos or at Canigaran while Eving stayed home to
take care of their children. Love they gave to their
children abundantly - talk with them, listen to them and
laugh with them. There was so much love and caring in their
relationship that to this day their memory lives on.
