Brief History:

AEV is recognized as one of the best-managed companies in the Philippines and in the region and is
consistently cited for its commitment to good corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.
With five generations of Aboitiz Group business success behind it, AEV is moving forward, pursuing its
vision to be a truly sustainable enterprise that can be entrusted to future generations.

Aboitiz & Company (ACO) was founded by Paulino Aboitiz in the late 1800s as an abaca trading and
general merchandise business in Ormoc, Leyte and later ventured into inter-island shipping to transport its
goods across the Visayas. It was formally incorporated in 1920 and serves as the private holding company
of the Aboitiz family today.

When Don Ramon Aboitiz, Paulino’s second son, took over management of the company, he established
a strong foundation of growth and expansion. From a small mercantile operation, ACO has grown and
diversified to various companies engaged in distinct services in key industries that are contributing to
nation-building.

The journey of ACO from a small family business to being one of the largest and most respected business
groups in the Philippines is a testament to its solid foundation built on trust, fairness, integrity, and
quality.

With five generations of family and professional management behind its business success, Aboitiz echoes
the time-honored philosophy of Don Ramon, the legacy of excellence nurtured and strengthened over the
past century.

Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. (AEV) was originally incorporated on September 11, 1989 as Cebu Pan
Asian Holdings, Inc. The Company changed its corporate name to the present one on December 29, 1993

Brief History:

The oldest bank in the Philippines still in operation. It is the country's third largest bank in terms of assets,
the country's second largest bank in terms of market capitalization, better source needed and the country's
most profitable bank.

Established on August 1, 1851 under Spanish colonial rule, BPI was originally known as El Banco
Español Filipino de Isabel II, named after then Queen of Spain, Isabel II.

The bank was the first to be established in the Philippines, and was responsible for starting the country's
banking and finance industry. Playing a unique role in the early economic history of the Philippines, the
bank performed many functions that in effect made it the country's Central Bank, including providing
credit to the National Treasury and printing and issuing currency in its own name.

Following the Spanish-American War of 1898, the Bank was reorganized and essentially privatized under
the U.S. federal government's National Bank Acts of 1863 and 1864. The bank adopted its current name
on January 1, 1912.

In the early 1980s, the Monetary Board of the Central Bank of the Philippines (now the Bangko Sentral
ng Pilipinas) allowed BPI to evolve into a fully diversified universal bank, to offer investment and
consumer banking services in addition to traditional commercial banking activities. This transformation
into a universal bank was accomplished through both organic growth and mergers and acquisitions.

Today, BPI is acknowledged as a leading provider of financial services in the Philippines.

current Banco de Oro Universal Bank (BDO Unibank). It is one of the many banks owned by a Chinese-
Filipino in the Philippines (others include Metrobank and Chinabank).

BDO Unibank eventually became involved in insurance services in 1997 (it is a bancassurance firm) by
establishing a subsidiary called BDO Insurance Brokers. In 1999, BDO Unibank expanded its insurance
services through partnerships with Zamora Assurance and Assicurazoni Generali s.p.a., one of the world's
largest insurance firms, and Jerneh Asia Berhad, a member of Malaysia's Kuok Group. Later, BDO
Unibank. partnered up with its insurance affiliates, which are Generali Pilipinas Life Assurance Company

Globe Telecom, commonly shortened as Globe, is a major provider of telecommunications services in the
Philippines. It operates one of the largest mobile, fixed line, and broadband networks in the country.

In 1928, Congress passed Act No. 3495 granting the Robert Dollar Company (a corporation organized
and existing under the laws of the State of California), a franchise to operate wireless long-distance
message services in the Philippines. Subsequently, Congress passed Act No. 4150 in 1934 to transfer the
franchise and privileges of the Robert Dollar Company to Globe Wireless Limited, which was
incorporated in the Philippines on 15 January 1935.

Globe Wireless Limited was later renamed as Globe-Mackay Cable and Radio Corporation ("Globe-
Mackay"). Through Republic Act ("RA") No. 4630 enacted in 1965 by Congress, its franchise was further
expanded to allow it to operate international communications systems. Globe-Mackay was granted a new
franchise in 1980 by Batasang Pambansa, under Batas Pambansa 95.

In Q3 2016, Globe Telecom dislodged Smart Communications as the largest telecommunications

stringent Basel III regulations, GT Capital was formed to assume Metrobank’s non-banking businesses
and to function as the Ty family’s official holding company. Today, GT Capital owns market-dominant
businesses in five vital high-growth sectors that drive the Philippine economy, namely banking,
automotive, infrastructure and utilities, property development, insurance, and microfinancing.

Brief History:
Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants owned by Jollibee Foods Corporation
(JFC). As of April 2018, JFC had a total of about 1,200 Jollibee outlets worldwide with presence in
Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Hong Kong, North America, and Italy.

In 1975, Tony Tan Caktiong and his family opened a Magnolia Ice Cream parlor in Cubao, Quezon City
which is credited as the first Jollibee outlet. The Magnolia outlets operated by Tan's family began offering
hotmeals and sandwiches upon request from the customers which the family found out to be more popular
than the franchise' ice cream. In 1978, the family decided to cancel the Magnolia franchise and converted
the ice cream parlors they operated into fast food outlets. Management consultant Manuel C. Lumba
advised the family of the move.

The company that would be managing the chain of fast food, Jollibee Foods Corporation, was
incorporated on January 1978. By the end of that year, there were 7 branches in Metro Manila. The first
franchised outlet of Jollibee opened in Santa Cruz, Manila in 1979.

Jollibee experienced rapid growth. It was able to withstand the entry of McDonald's in the Philippines in
1981 by focusing on the specific tastes of the Filipino market, which differed from the American fast food
company. The first Jollibee store overseas opened in Taiwan in 1986 which is now closed. Jollibee
continued to expand and set up outlets both within the country and abroad.

Each year, Meralco sells more than 23 million megawatt-hours (MWH), with residential and commercial
sales each contributing roughly 35 percent, and industrial sales adding 30 percent. Formerly a power
producer, Meralco purchases its power requirements primarily from government-owned National Power
Corporation; since the beginning of the 2000s, however, the company has begun to purchase electricity
from a number of newly established independent power producers, helping to lower its prices. Meralco
also has started to diversify its operations in response to the deregulation of the Philippines power
industry by extending into power generation, industrial construction and engineering, and other areas,
including real estate development, e-commerce, and consultancy services. Meralco is led by Chairman
and CEO Manuel M. Lopez, whose family, through direct and indirect holdings, retains control of some
25 percent of the company. The Lopez family, one of the country's most prominent, also controls

Brief History:

Petron's history dates back to September 7, 1933 when Socony-Vacuum Oil Company (Standard Oil of
New York) and Standard Oil of New Jersey (also known as Jersey Standard) merged their interests in the
Far East into a 50–50 joint venture named the Standard Vacuum Oil Company (Stanvac). It operated in 50
countries, including the Philippines, New Zealand, China, and the region of East Africa.

In 1953, the Philippine national government, partly to promote Claro M. Recto's national industrialization
program and partly to respond to increasing international oil prices, attempted to launch a national oil
company that caters Filipino consumers with affordable petroleum products. In 1957, Stanvac won the
concession to build and operate a refinery in Bataan. For this purpose, FilOil Refinery Corporation was
established in 1959.

In 1973, the Philippine government, through the Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC), acquired
Esso Philippines, Inc., including FilOil Refinery Corporation. Esso Philippines, Inc. was renamed
Petrophil Corporation (Petrophil) and by 1974, Esso filling stations were rebranded as "Petron", a
portmanteau of petroleum (PET) and research octane number (RON). Subsequently, Mobil (successor of
Socony-Vacuum Oil Company) also sold its share of FilOil Refinery Corporation to PNOC. The oil
refining and marketing units in PNOC, including FilOil, were merged into Petrophil Corporation.

In 1988, Petrophil Corporation was renamed Petron Corporation

Security Bank and Trust Company and was the first private and Filipino-controlled bank of the post-
World War II period.

Security Bank was established on June 18, 1951 as Security Bank and Trust Company (SBTC) in Manila.
At the time, SBTC was the first privately-owned, Filipino-controlled bank of the post-World War II era.
The bank's head office was first located in the Don Roman Santos Building on Plaza Goiti, moving to
Escolta in 1954. At the time, Security Bank was so aggressive in opening branches that at one point
during the 1950s, it had more branches in Metro Manila than any other local bank.

Beginning in the 1960s, Security Bank also started expanding outside Metro Manila, with the opening of
its first provincial branch in Angeles City, Pampanga. Within the decade, the bank started a rapid
expansion in the provinces. It was also in the 1960s that Security Bank led a consortium of local and
foreign companies that lent US$ 62 million to the Lopez family to fund their acquisition of Meralco, the
first of its kind in Philippine banking history.

Brief History:

SM Prime Holdings, Inc. or SM Prime is the parent company of the SM Group's shopping malls. It is the
largest shopping mall and retail operator in the Philippines.
The roots of SM date back to the 1950s when entrepreneur Henry Sy, Sr. established a shoe store in
Carriedo, the then-central business district of Manila. His aggressive and adamant strategy helped him
gain large profits within a few years and he later expanded his business in Quiapo to become a fully
functioning department store named "Shoemart", specialising in the sale of shoes, the sector of which the
store originally was. Shoemart was later abbreviated to SM and became commonly known as "SM" or
"Shoemart" by the locals. The SM in Carriedo was later abandoned and moved to the present site in
Quiapo near the Manila LRT Line 1. The old site was demolished in 1982 and was turned into its
Clearance Outlet.

The first SM Supermall, SM City North EDSA, was opened in 1985. Each contains at least one or more
amusement facilities, such as cinemas, bowling centers, convention centres and game arcades.

Located in several cities and areas in Metro Manila, as well as major provincial cities, each SM is easily
accessible and situated by places of public interest, such as churches, schools, and highways. SM opened
its first department store outside Metro Manila (SM Delgado) in Iloilo City in 1979 and was relaunched in
2004.

Brief History:

Universal Robina Corporation is a Philippine company based in Pasig, Philippines. It is one of the largest
food and beverage companies in the Philippines.

In 1966, Universal Robina Corporation was established. It pioneered the salty snacks industry through Chiz Curls,
Chippy, and Potato Chips, under the Jack 'n Jill brand. Other snack products followed, as the company successfully
introduced market leaders like Pretzels, Piattos, and Maxx.

In the coming decades, URC had more acquisitions and developments. In the early 1970s, the family entered the
commodities business through the formation of Continental Milling Corporation, for flour milling and production.
The late 1980s brought the acquisition of three sugar mills and refineries, under URC Sugar. These two businesses
provided stable cash flows, and allowed for further vertical integration in the supply chain, to help URC weather any
volatility in the cyclical commodities market. In line with this strategy, during the late ‘90s URC entered the plastics
business, through URC Packaging.

While the businesses became more diversified, the companies were slowly integrated in order to streamline and
minimize costs. In 2005, the present structure of the group was completed. All the different companies are now
organized under the Universal Robina Corporation umbrella, divided into three focused groups:

 the Branded Consumer Food Group, comprised of BCFG Domestic (including packaging) and
International;
 the Agro-Industrial Group, comprised of Universal Corn Products, Robina Farms, and Robichem;
 and the Commodities Group, for sugar and flour divisions
