Citing his outstanding achievements in business, distinguished judges
from local and foreign business communities recently awarded Pangilinan

“This award is unexpected, but is nonetheless most appreciated,” said
Pangilinan, who was chosen for his management achievements which
catapulted the companies under his watch into new levels of growth,
achievement and recognition and pioneering achievements that created
innovative products and services; and his involvement in corporate
social initiatives.
“Aside
from our involvement in the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co.,
we’ve invested great efforts in building up the infrastructure

vital infrastructure that it needs to become more prosperous in the
next few years,” he added.
