PRESS RELEASE SM PRIME PARTICIPATES AT METRO MANILA WIDE QUAKE DRILL As a partner of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), SM Prime is steadfast towards its commitment to minimizing the risks of disasters among its stakeholders in the Philippines. On July 30, 2015, 52 SM Supermalls within Metropolitan Manila participated at Metro Wide Quake Drill together with other multi-sector cooperation from schools, business, government agencies, and religious organizations. The Earthquake drill will increase the metro’s chances of better recovery and implementation of contingencies in the event of earthquakes. The Metro Wide Quake Drill was initiated by the Metro Manila Development Agency (MMDA) along with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) with the support of various private sector organizations such as SM Prime Holdings, Inc. Earlier, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology reported that the 100- kilometer long West Valley Fault system, which passes through various cities and provinces, including the Metropolitan Manila, could trigger a 7.2-magnitude quake which happens every 400 years. The one-hour “shake drill” or the metro-wide earthquake simulation was set for one hour on July 30, 2015, at 10:30 including all SM branches within Metro Manila. Mr. Hans T. Sy, member of the UNISDR-Private Sector Advisory Group (UNISDR-PSAG), was in full support of the initiative, stating: " The safety of the communities, employees, customers, and the facility structure remain top priority in all SM Prime developments. As I tell my design teams ever so frequently ensuring safety is the only way I can sleep well.

Diversification Strategies of Large Business Groups in the Philippines
Philippine Management Review 2013, Vol. 20, 65‐82. Diversification Strategies of Large Business Groups in the Philippines Ben Paul B. Gutierrez and Rafael A. Rodriguez* University of the Philippines, College of Business Administration, Diliman, Quezon City 1101, Philippines This paper describes the diversification strategies of 11 major Philippine business groups. First, it reviews the benefits and drawbacks of related and unrelated diversification from the literature. Then, it describes the forms of diversification being pursued by some of the large Philippine business groups. The paper ends with possible explanations for the patterns of diversification observed in these Philippine business groups and identifies directions for future research. Keywords: related diversification, unrelated diversification, Philippine business groups 1 Introduction This paper will describe the recent diversification strategies of 11 business groups in the Philippines. There are various definitions of business groups but in this paper, these are clusters of legally distinct firms with a managerial relationship, usually by virtue of common ownership. The focus on business groups rather than on individual firms has to do with the way that business firms in the Philippines are organized and managed. Businesses that are controlled and managed by essentially the same set of principal owners are often organized as separate corporations, not as separate divisions within the same firm, as is often the case in American corporations like General Electric, Procter and Gamble, or General Motors (Echanis, 2009). Moreover, studies on emerging markets have pointed out that business groups often occupy dominant positions in the business landscape in markets like India, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines (Khanna & Palepu, 1997; Khanna & Yafeh, 2007).

The Business Case for Disaster Risk Reduction
The business case for disaster risk reduction From Shared Risk to Shared Value Manila, Philippines, 16-17 June 2014 FINAL REPORT "Economic losses from disasters are out of control and can only be reduced in partnership with the private sector which is responsible for 70% to 85% of all investment worldwide in new buildings, industry and small to medium sized enterprises. The principles of disaster risk reduction must be taught at business schools and become part of the investor's mind-set." • UN Secretary -General Ban Ki -moon “We need to bridge the gap in understanding and convince business owners of the need to move beyond basic continuity planning, and to consider the opportunity to create value in markets with products that address disaster risk and the important role of public-private sector partnership in disaster recovery.” • President of SM Prime Mr Hans Sy 1 Making the case: The President of SM Prime, Mr Han Sy, tells the Philippines’ private sector that disaster risk management is both good business and good for business. Rationale: the private sector and disaster risk reduction In future, trillions of dollars of new business investment will pour into hazard-exposed regions, determining whether disaster risk continues to accumulate and underlying risk drivers remain unaddressed. The Philippines is one of the most exposed and vulnerable countries in the world in terms of disaster risk. The November 2013 Typhoon Haiyan (known as Yolanda locally) is the most recent – and tragic – illustration of this fact. A post-disaster needs assessment from the 2009 Typhoon Ketsana (known as Ondoy locally) revealed that 90% of losses were sustained by the private sector.

The Family Business: Statistics, Profiles and Peculiarities by Sheelah E
The Family Business: Statistics, Profiles and Peculiarities By Sheelah E. Johnston The family business is the world’s dominant form of business organization. Based on figures compiled by the Family Firm Institute (FFI), family firms comprise 80 to 90% of all businesses in North America. In the United Kingdom 75% of all businesses are family businesses. Contrary to most expectations, family businesses are not limited to small, “mom and pop” operations. Some of the world’s biggest and best-known companies are actually family-owned. In the United States, some 37% of Fortune 500 companies are family-owned while 60% of publicly-listed companies are family-controlled (FFI figures). Wal-Mart, Ford, Mars Corporation, J.P. Morgan, Firestone, DuPont and Levi Strauss are some examples of big family businesses in the U.S. Other family-owned or family-controlled multinational companies with popular brands include: L’Oreal (France), Benetton (Italy), Siemens (Germany), Ikea (Sweden), Lego (Denmark) and Kikkoman (Japan). In the Philippines, it is estimated that at least 80% of businesses are family-owned. In fact, most big corporations are family-owned or family-controlled. These companies, whose ownership may be already dispersed, are still identified with the founding family. They would include Ayala Corporation (Ayala family), Metrobank (George Sy Family), ABS-CBN and Meralco (Lopez family), J.G. Summit Holdings (Gokongwei family) and SM Prime Holdings (Henry Sy family). Although these companies are publicly listed and hence, ownership may include non-family shareholders, each family’s influence on these companies is still far-reaching: the top position is occupied by a family member.
