A patriarch remembered: Eugenio H. Lopez Sr.

He was a pioneering kababayan, a visionary. A patriotic businessman with a resolute spirit. He was the grand patriarch, Eugenio Hofilena Lopez, Sr.
His prominent place in Philippine business and industry is undeniable. From sugar milling to publishing one of the first postwar newspapers in the country. From land, sea and air transportation, to pioneering what is now ABS-CBN, the leading broadcasting network in the country and the most admired media network in the whole of Asia. He capped his achievements with the daring purchase of Meralco, then and now the largest electricity distribution company in the country.
In all his endeavors, Don Eugenio's words and deeds spoke eloquently of a business philosophy that was way ahead of its time. He said "A commercial firm which could hardly make both ends meet but which gives service and real satisfaction to the community is, in our estimation, more successful than a multimillion corporation which reaps huge profits and them keeps them to itself, completely neglecting the community which sustains its life."

nice story

[@aaronvalerio19]

Sorry, but judging from what happened to our country after Marcos was ousted I can now say without a doubt and with no hesitation that non of the things the senior Lopez said here was ever true. ABS-CBN has never been in the service of the Filipino people and Meralco has become a cash cow for the inner circle of the elites in the country. The younger generation of the Lopez clan who is now running the ABS-CBN could not grow the business without bribing some political personalities in the country and all of the company's employees are contract workers who are terminated at will, without reasonable basis. How is that a service to the Filipino people?
