Philippines, Tanduay Holdings, one of the world's largest rum

makers, and

Fortune Tobacco, the largest tobacco company in the country.

In 1985,

Tan bought Century Park Hotel.

1988, the Lucio Tan Group of Companies
acquired Tanduay Distillery, the oldest maker of rum,
from the Elizalde Family. Tan and his group launched a

henry sy

In 1958, Sy established a small shoe store

in Quiapo, Manila that marked the establishment
of SM Prime Holdings. In November 1972, the
small shoe store became SM Quiapo, SM's first
standalone department store.
On December 25, 1985, he established his first SM
Supermall, SM City North EDSA.
He is the Philippines' richest man, gaining $5
billion in 2010, amid the global financial crisis. The
huge gain was due to his holding company, SM
Investments Corporation, which has interests
in Banco de Oro, inter alia. Forbes magazine's
2008 list of 40 wealthiest Filipinos, revealed the
Sy family's net worth was $6.2 billion. Earlier, he
was the second wealthiest individual in the
Philippines, next toLucio Tan, and (as of 2010) 201st in the world.
Sy is considered a tai-pan. The Sy group is the operator of Banco de Oro and owner
of Chinabank. In 2006, he bought the remaining 66% of Equitable PCI Bank, the Philippines
third largest lender, in which he already had a 34% stake, and merged it with Banco de Oro
in 2007. The merger created the Philippines' second largest financial institution with
resources of close to $17 billion. Rumors say that the Sy family has a personal stake of $4
billion in these three banks, although there is no sufficient evidence to strongly substantiate
that.
In August of 2005, Sy's stake in the San Miguel Corporation, Southeast Asia's largest food
and beverage conglomerate, reached 11%.He sold that stake in October of 2007 [9] for $680
million.

Group and soon opened a concession at SM Makati's
department store. This gave him the idea to design a line of
men's t-shirts and jeans, which eventually became Bench in
1987.
Chans borrowed motto from Jonathan Swift, Vision is the
art of seeing the invisible, helped him perfect his craft. He
chose to market t-shirts to be because he wanted the basic
white undergarment to become a fashionable outerwear.
The first Bench store was opened in a corner of an SM Department Store. In 1988, the first boutique
was opened in Park Square. Chan hired actor Richard Gomez to be Bench's first endorser. This
captured the attention of the masses as Bench gained consumers metrowide. In 1989, Bench began
to be sold nationwide. By 1990, Chan added a Bench cosmetic line.
In 1994, Bench's first franchise store abroad Saudi Arabia was opened in Saudi Arabia. An outlet in
Shanghai, China was also opened in the same year. A third franchise was opened in Kuwait.

Yao is one of the most admired businessmen in the Philippines today. The
flagship companies of his sprawling Zesto Group are called ZestCorporation and Zest Airways. The names couldnt be more
appropriate. After all, these are enterprises built on the
foundation of Yaos enormous enthusiasm for finding another
way.
when his new packaging technology failed to gain traction, Yao
making juice to sell the pack. Thus, one of the countrys largest
companies Zest-O-Corp. was born. Similarly, when his
airline, Zest Airways, faced headwinds in a highly competitive
created an entirely new route to operate flights. Not
therefore, 68-year-old Yao is considered an inspiring and

Popularly known as

Zest-O-Corp. and
Zest Airways but also the founder of a clutch of firms
Semexco Marketing,
Inc., Harman Foods, Amchem Marketing, Inc., American Brands
Philippines, Inc., SMI Development Corporation, and the Philippine Business Bank.
Yaos successes in all of his business ventures until now have prompted people to call him
the juice magnate with the Midas touch. But that Midas touch hasnt come easy to Yao.
Having lost his father at 12, he grew up doing odd jobs to help his mother feed the family. As
a young man, Yao was determined to start something on his own. So he invested in a small
printing press and named it after his mother. In two decades, the press became reasonably
successful, so much so that in 1979 Yao could afford to visit a trade exhibition in Europe.
There, he came across a new technology in packaging, which used plastic and foil to make
easy-to-use collapsible packs. Known as doy packs, these were lightweight, and they could
stand upright and be sealed aseptically.

Tony Tan Caktiong

In

1975, Tony and his colleagues went on a visit to a Magnolia Ice

Cream plant located in Quezon City and learned that it was
offering franchise when he saw a poster for it. By the month of

May,

with his family savings, he took P350,000 to grab the franchise

opportunity and opened two Magnolia ice cream parlors named

Cubao Ice
Ice

Cream House located near the Coronet Theater, and Quiapo

Cream House located beside the bridge the one going
to ilalim near a Mercury Drug outlet. They all
worked hands-on but as the business propels,
they noticed they could not do it all so they
started to set up an organization hired store
managers, and trained people.

They were looking for a symbol that would represent the group, and because Tony was very
impressed with Disneyland characters, they decided on a bee. The bee is a busy creature
that produces honey one of lifes sweetest things. They thought it would be a very good
symbol to represent everybody. They decided they would all be very busy and happy at the
same time, because if they were busy but not happy, it wouldnt be worth it. Thats why they
put the word jolly and just changed the y into i to form a brand name JOLLIBEE.

Eugenio Lopez III

Eugenio L. Lopez III (EL3) was the youngest member
of the triumvirate that steered ABSCBN to
unprecedented heights in the 1990s.
Post-martial law, EL3 took on the role of ABS-CBNs strategist/analyst, his father Eugenio
Geny Lopez Jr. was the founder/dreamer, while longtime executive Freddie M. Garcia was
the market-savvy helmsman/tactician, wrote Raul Rodrigo in his 2006 book Kapitan: Geny
Lopez and the Making of ABS-CBN.
Officially, EL3, who had earned a MBA from Harvard Business School and worked six years
as MIS Group manager in Chemical Bank during his years in exile in the US, joined ABS-CBN
as finance director upon his return in 1986. A year later, he became tsyhe general manager
of the network.

Within three years after the end of the Marcos dictatorship, the revitalized ABS-CBN had
regained its lost glory. Ensconced back in the coveted number one spot, the network had
become so successful that it was by then competing only against itself and its own
remarkable record, according to Rodrigo.
Geny presented EL3 with a challenge: to spearhead the diversification process that he
himself had argued for after realizing that it was the path to take in order for the company
to continue growing at the rate that [it was] growing. His dream was to transform ABSCBN into a fully integrated media company, like Time Warner or Disney. Under EL3, ABSCBN successfully ventured into interactive media, sound recording, international cable and
satellite distribution, postproduction, sports programming and licensing, and
merchandising.

MANUEL Villar

In 1975, with an initial capital of P10,000, Villar purchased

two reconditioned trucks and started a business delivering
sand and gravel for construction companies in Las
Pias. This eventually segued into building houses, as Villar
took out a seven-year loan from a rural bank offering low
interest rates, and began what would become the country's
largest home building company, with an emphasis on lowpriced mass housing. A notable innovation of Villar's
companies was to sell house and lot packages, when the
common practice at the time was to sell lots for future
homeonwers to build upon.He initiated mass housing
projects through economies of scale, utilizing the cost
advantages of developing a large scale project in order to
bring down housing prices. The number of homes built by
Villar's companies totaled to over 200,000 units.
In July 1995, Villar's flagship property, C&P Homes, was listed on the Philippine Stock
Exchange and grew by more than a third in one day, ballooning Villar's 80% stake in the
company to $1.5 billion. Villar had concentrated on low-cost housings which were bought by
the home buyers themselves, giving opportunities for the low and middle income Filipino
families to acquire homes. He also wanted to set an example to Filipino entrepreneurs that
what they set their mind on can be achieved.
Vista Land and Lifescapes, Inc., a family owned business of Villar, is also listed in the
privately owned Philippine Stock Exchange. Their shares of stocks were bought primarily by
foreign funds which had given the government, as well as the PSE, good revenues.
