Annual Report for 2018 DRAFT MAP 2018 ANNUAL REPORT as of December 18, 2018 MAP THEME FOR 2018 “COMPETING IN THE AGE OF DISRUPTION” In 2018, the MAP encouraged collaborative and transformative programs that help organizations face the massive disruptions caused by advancements in technology, innovations in business models, prominence of borderless competition, adaptation to climate change, and dynamism in geopolitics. In pursuing its mission of promoting management excellence for nation-building, the MAP partnered with the business community, the government, the academe and the civil society in pushing for reforms that help the country improve its competitiveness, enable businesses to capitalize on disruptions, encourage the government to sustain a level-playing business environment, and inspire the citizenry to contribute to social progress. PRIORITY PROGRAMS FOR 2018 The MAP delved on the following three (3) policy programs for 2018: 1. Ease of Doing Business and Competitiveness 2. Managing Business Disruptions 3. Data Privacy EASE OF DOING BUSINESS AND COMPETITIVENESS The MAP focused in 2018 on helping to improve the ease of doing business in the Philippines so it can contribute to attracting local and foreign investments, creating more jobs, and ensuring inclusive growth. The MAP continued to push for reforms and policies that foster an enabling business environment. The MAP remained steadfast in advocating for practical solutions that facilitated the business registration and accreditation process, and address bureaucratic problems faced by investors.

LUZ, former Private Sector Co-Chair, National Competitiveness Council (NCC); Associate Director, Ayala Corporation MANAGING BUSINESS DISRUPTIONS In these times when so many changes are happening— at a very fast pace at that — organizations must adapt, or die. History has shown that even huge corporations are not invulnerable to disruptions. There is really no choice but to adapt, and some organizations need more help than others to turn disruptions into opportunities. As long as programs are in place to increase the readiness of people in adopting new processes and technologies, disruptive innovations could potentially yield societal and economic benefits. The MAP conducted the following activities in line with the Managing Business Disruptions advocacy: 1.

PLABASAN, Deputy Director and Head of Core IT Specialist Group, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Moderator 1.6 Dr. PARIS DE L´ETRAZ, Professor, IE Business School of Madrid, Spain DATA PRIVACY Data Privacy and Cyber Security are issues that keep MAP members and other CEOs awake at night. While there have been robust developments in the field of data protection, data breaches remain as pervasive as ever. If the seemingly impenetrable Pentagon is vulnerable to data breaches, how can an ordinary individual protect his personal information? Page 4 of 46 Cyber-attacks put every organization at risk. Business continuity is unequivocally a Board Room responsibility, so business leaders and directors will have to increase the attention and resources they devote to Data Privacy and Cyber Security. In 2018, MAP conducted the following programs aimed at enlightening its members and their stakeholders on how to protect sensitive personal information and enhance cyber security. 1. APRIL 27 MAP GMM on “Protecting DATA PRIVACY in the Age of Disruption” (l-r) Mr. DIETRICH BENJES, Mr. JAIME GARCHITORENA, Comm. RAYMUND LIBORO, Atty.

  • PAGCOR) Launched an Intensive Communication Campaign to Emphasize the Agency’S Contributions to the Government
    About the Cover In November 2018, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) launched an intensive communication campaign to emphasize the agency’s contributions to the government. The “PAG” campaign is anchored on the agency’s revenue-generating function which many people, Filipinos included, are not aware of. We used various media platforms to educate the general public about PAGCOR’s programs and to heighten public awareness about our noble goals. Many people associate PAGCOR with gaming and casinos. But while operating and regulating games of chance are among our core mandates, our important mission is to help build a strong nation. As we remit half of our income to the National Treasury, we have become one of the biggest revenue generators of the government. A sizeable portion is also allocated for the agency’s mandated beneficiaries and the privileged sectors of society. We were able to provide funds for our various mandated beneficiaries by regulating gaming and preventing the proliferation of illegal gambling in the Philippines. Most of all, the dedication, talent and commitment of employees to their work enabled PAGCOR to achieve greater heights. At the end of the day, our real mission is to serve the nation and help build a sustainable future for our country. #PAGsilbisabayan 3 HIS EXCELLENCY RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE President, Republic of the Philippines Annual Report 2018 CONTENTS 8-9 Corporate Profile ...................................................................................................................................................................................

Dear Friends, AOFOG Committee Chairs In the blink of an eye, we are already half way through 2019 and nearing the end of the current AOFOG Council tenure. Minimally Invasive In March and April 2019, AOFOG participated at the Annual Gynecologic Surgery Congress of the Taiwan Association of Obstetricians & Gynecologists Masaki Mandai (TAOG) and the Japan Society of Obstetrics & Gynecology (JSOG) (Japan) respectively. The AOFOG sessions were well received in both these meetings and the added bonus was a rare opportunity to meet with the President of the Republic of China, HE Tsai Ing-wen, who, as a woman, Maternal & Fetal Medicine was empathetic to and supportive of our efforts to improve womens’ Ounjai Kor-anantakul (Thailand) healthcare. Both the TAOG and JSOG have developed in leaps and bounds and the efficiency with which they conduct their business is something we can all aspire to. For many years now, these 2 Oncology organisations have held dedicated AOFOG sessions during their Young Tak Kim Annual Congresses and this is also being emulated now by our National (Korea) Society members in South Asia.
