MANILA,
Philippines - Distinguished judges from local and foreign business
communities recently chose Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co.
(PLDT) chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan as the “Global Filipino Executive
of the Year,” citing his outstanding achievements in business at the
first Asia CEO Awards held at Dusit Thani Hotel.
“This
award is unexpected, but is nonetheless most appreciated. Aside from
our involvement in PLDT, we’ve invested great efforts in building up
the infrastructure businesses under the wing of Metro Pacific
Investment Corp. These investments are the result not only of
hard-nosed business calculations but also spring from our desire to
help the Philippines acquire the vital infrastructure that it needs to
become more prosperous in the next few years,” Pangilinan said.
Organized
with the help of the local and foreign business communities to promote
the Philippines worldwide, the Asia CEO Awards recognizes individuals
and teams who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and achieved
excellent results in their businesses while benefiting the community in
general.

eight categories were: KPMG Executive Leadership Team of the Year,
Entrepreneurial Leadership Team of the Year, Non-Profit Leadership Team
of the Year, Global Filipino Executive of the Year, Jones Lang LaSalle
Leechiu Expatriate Executive of the Year, NorthgateArinso HR Leadership
Team of the Year, Finance Leadership Team of the Year, and Technology
Leadership Team of the Year.
The Global Filipino Executive of the
Year Award is given to the most accomplished Filipino executive who has
excelled locally or outside the Philippines.
Pangilinan
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.
