Manny Pangilinan, heads of mega businesses which include hospitals, water company, sugar mills, telco, expressway now 76, holds the distinction of having businesses that encompass all the persons daily needs in cash. (While we are both senior and both graduated at same university, the same can not be said of accomplishments)
1. Health care - via hospitals
2 Communications via PLDT
3 Entertainment - TV5
4. Food - Sugar
5. Transportation via expressway
6 Water company
While it was reported he does not make money with TV 5, most of his businesses are enviable. He left the BGC project to focus on Telco. Went for a while in investment in Meralco
Lately he has made investments in Agriculture.
His advice: to graduates:
“Success springs from old-fashioned values — values as fundamental as being honest and truthful — with yourself and with others. And so is being diligent, hard-working and disciplined. But most of all, success is about passion— passion to succeed, passion for excellence, passion to compete.”
To his company:
“We confidently face the future – resolute to do our duty well, resolute to uphold our values by deed and by word, resolute to attain our highest goals, in keeping families connected, entertained, and educated; enabling businesses to operate at home or in the office – and simply being a source of strength amidst extraordinary adversity and affliction, and above all, resolute in preserving the ground we have retaken; never again shall we yield.
More power Mr MVP.
