By 1914, San Miguel Beer was being exported from its headquarters in Manila to Shanghai, Hong Kong and Guam. A pioneer in Asia, San Miguel established a brewery in Hong Kong in 1948, the first local brewer in the crown colony. | | Today, San Miguel Beer–the Company’s flagship product–is one of the largest selling beers and among the top 10 beer brands in the world. While brewing beer is the company’s heritage, San Miguel subsequently branched out into the food and packaging businesses.

It has also diversified into heavy industries including power and other utilities, mining, energy, tollways and airports.

* AVIATION * PHILIPPINE AIRLINES
Flag carrier Philippine Airlines is a major player in the global aviation industry and the one of Asia’s most dynamic carriers today, having unveiled a road map that seeks to transform “Asia’s first airline” into Asia’s airline of choice.
More than 70 years after PAL first took to the sky, the story of PAL continues to evolve. Under a new management that has a track record for successfully growing businesses and run a highly diversified conglomerate that includes some of the country’s strongest brands in virtually every growth sector of the Philippines, PAL is taking a tried-and-tested concept and applying the discipline of a three-pronged business strategy that’s simple yet bold: fleet modernization, network expansion and service innovation.
To jump start its transformation, PAL’s new management led by San Miguel Corporation president Ramon S. Ang, ordered 65 brand-new Airbus jets worth $9.5 billion, the largest aircraft purchase deal in Philippine aviation history.
Once the fleet modernization program is complete, PAL will operate the youngest and most modern fleet in the region. The new aircraft, which will augment PAL’s existing fleet over the next five years, will service existing and new routes, covering Asia, Australia, China, the Middle East, Europe and North America (US and Canada).
The carrier recently launched flights to several new destinations including Basco, Batanes for the domestic sector; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Darwin and Brisbane, Australia; and Guangzhou, China for the international sector. The Philippine flag carrier has also opened new routes to the Middle East - Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh and Dammam; as well as to Europe starting with London.
PAL’s transformation goes well beyond external appearance. It also entails further raising the standards of service and innovation on the ground and in the air – standards for which the PAL brand has always been celebrated and known for.
Inflight and ground services have been enhanced to address customer needs. Some of the changes include: a new customized passenger services system; exquisite inflight cuisine developed by international master chefs; inflight amenity innovations such as onboard iPads and inflight connectivity (PAL InAir) that enables phone calls and internet browsing initially on long-haul flights.
World-class aircraft maintenance also ensures the air-worthiness of each and every PAL flight.
Recognizing the evolving needs and preferences of customers, PAL has introduced a wide range of flight offerings aimed at providing convenience, quality service and affordability to its increasingly discerning but diverse customer base.
The new fare structures are designed to attract today’s savvy travellers who are cost-conscious yet continue to have high expectations in terms of both service quality.
Indeed, PAL is ready for the next journey, to become the global airline of choice – superior to its competitors at home and at par with the world’s best, but offering the best value for its customers. PAL will continue to carry the Philippine flag overseas and to be a source of national pride, guided by its principles of service excellence and social responsibility. As such, it aims to be responsive to the needs of its passengers and mindful of its role in serving the millions of Filipino migrant workers overseas. For indeed, PAL is not just an airline for Filipinos but also a partner in developing global travel and tourism.
