Rommel Delgado of Spring valley on Life, Lessons & Legacy

We recently had the chance to connect with Rommel Delgado and have shared our conversation below.

Rommel, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
“For me, integrity is the most important. Intelligence and energy are valuable qualities, but without integrity, they can be misused. Integrity builds trust, ensures fairness, and keeps a team working toward the right goals. Once integrity is in place, energy drives action and consistency, while intelligence helps solve problems and make good decisions. In short, I believe integrity is the foundation, energy is the fuel, and intelligence is the tool.”

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
“Hi, my name is Rommel Delgado, and I’m passionate about sharing simple joys that bring people together. One of the inspirations behind my story is Taho—a classic Filipino street food made of soft tofu, arnibal (sweet syrup), and sago pearls. For me, Taho represents warmth, comfort, and connection—it’s more than a snack, it’s a piece of culture and community. Through my brand, I aim to celebrate those everyday traditions that remind us of home and create moments of happiness. Right now, I’m working on ways to share that experience with more people, whether through storytelling, content, or community projects.”TAHOpe You Love Me

Okay, so here’s a deep one: What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
“The part of me that I need to release is the constant self-doubt. It once kept me grounded, but now I realize it only slows me down. I’m choosing to trust myself more and step into new opportunities with confidence.”

What fear has held you back the most in your life?
“The fear that has held me back the most is the fear of failure. For a long time, I hesitated to take risks or try new things because I was worried about not succeeding. I’m learning now that failure is actually part of growth and that every step forward, even the mistakes, teaches me something valuable.”

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
“The public version of me is a real part of who I am, but it’s not the whole picture. In public, I show the aspects of myself that fit the context — professionalism, positivity, and resilience — but privately, I have vulnerabilities and quieter sides that most people don’t see. Both sides are genuine; one is just more visible.”

Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
“I hope people say that I was someone who made their lives a little brighter — that I cared, shared, and gave more than I took. I’d like them to remember me as someone who stayed true to my values, who lifted others up, and who created moments of connection and joy. More than accomplishments, I want my story to be about kindness, integrity, and making a positive difference.”
