Top 3 Entrepreneurs in the Philippines

 

Aloha Everybody!!! I'm back!!!

I am back again and for the blog this week, I am gonna write about the top three successful entrepreneurs here in the Philippines. Though it is a bit off, I write this to inspire myself and boost myself that someday I will be like them in the future. And I also would like to share it with you. :)

1. Henry Sy

Henry Sy, a trailblazing businessman who is referred to as the “Father of Philippine Retail,” established the Shoe Mart (SM) Group, one of the country’s leading retail companies. Sy, who was born in Xiamen, China, in 1924, went to the Philippines in the 1930s and began his business career by hawking wartime supplies. Sy started his retail empire in 1958 when he built the first Shoe Mart location in Manila. He gradually expanded his company into a number of retail marketplaces, including malls, department shops, supermarkets, and hypermarkets. Sy’s firm reached new heights thanks to his innovative leadership and unrelenting pursuit of excellence. In addition to his financial success, Sy was renowned for his social work. He supported healthcare and education programs in the Philippines and donated to a number of charitable organizations. Aspiring businesspeople in the Philippines and elsewhere are still motivated by his legacy.

2. Tony Tan Caktiong

The “Jollibee Man,” Tony Tan Caktiong, is a well-known businessman who established the Jollibee Foods Corporation, a multinational fast-food chain that has gained notoriety in the Philippines. Tan Caktiong, who was born in the Chinese province of Fujian in 1953, migrated to the Philippines with his family in search of better chances. Tan Caktiong founded Jollibee, a little ice cream shop, with his family in Quezon City, Philippines, in 1975. Tan Caktiong developed his company into a full-fledged fast-food chain because of his clear vision and dedication to offering tasty food and top-notch customer service. He infused his cuisine offerings with Filipino flavors and cultural ideals, which connected with the locals and proved to be a prescription for success. 

3. Soccoro Ramos

In the Philippines, Socorro Ramos, better known as Nanay Coring, is a well-known businesswoman who is most known for founding the National Book Store. Socorro Ramos began her business career with modest beginnings after being born in a small hamlet in Tayabas, Quezon province. During the Japanese rule of the Philippines in 1942, she started her company by selling textbooks and school supplies out of a modest stand in Escolta, Manila. The success of Nanay Coring may be ascribed to her astute business judgment, client-centered philosophy, and dedication to offering reasonably priced and high-quality goods. She has also garnered various medals and distinctions for her services to the Philippine retail business, including the Entrepreneur of the Year award from Ernst & Young Philippines in 2004. Socorro Ramos is still actively involved in the running of the National Book Store and supports numerous humanitarian initiatives despite her accomplishments.
