1. “Mapping the Future” Column in the INQUIRER on December 24, 2018 1. “MAPping the Future” Column in the INQUIRER on December 24, 2018 “Harnessing the Potentials of Today towards a Future-Ready Philippines” by Ayala Corporation President and COO FERNANDO ZOBEL DE AYALA, “MAP Management Man of the Year 2018” (Following is the acceptance speech delivered by the author when he received recently the “MAP Management Man of the Year 2018” Award from the MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILIPPINES.) Good afternoon. Let me first thank all those involved in making this event and recognition possible. Thank you to the MAP Board of Governors led by Mon Fernandez, the MAP Management Man of the Year Judging and Search Committees led by Gigi Montinola, Ed Chua, Marife Zamora, and Perry Pe. I also extend a very special thanks to the individuals who have so kindly nominated me for this honor: Amb. Albert Del Rosario, Lilia De Lima, Tony Aquino, and Jess Estanislao, as well as the many others behind the scenes who were involved in the nomination process. Let me also take this opportunity to congratulate the incoming Board of Governors, and your incoming President, Riza Mantaring. Allow me to also acknowledge representatives from the senior management of Ayala present today. My brother Jaime and I often discuss how privileged we are to be able to work with these exceptional individuals. They are passionate about our country and share our desire to bring the Philippines to the highest stage of development within the community of nations. I would also like to express my warmest appreciation to the many friends, partners, and customers of the Ayala group of companies. Our group’s stability and success would not have been possible without your continued trust, and we are very thankful for your faith in us throughout the years. Let me also acknowledge a good friend of our family, Mr. Fred Borromeo, who joined MAP in 1954, and at 92 years old is certainly the wisest MAP 1 member in the room. Last but certainly not the least, I would like to thank the members of my family present today—my parents, my wife Kit and siblings, spouses and friends. We owe so much to my father, who took a risk and entrusted the leadership of Ayala to Jaime and I at a fairly young age. He had already set high standards of professionalism in the company and a deep sense of commitment to the developmental goals of the country. Jaime and I had a great platform to build from. I am deeply honored to receive this recognition, and greatly humbled to join the company of such an illustrious group of individuals—many of whom I have admired and respected, and have had many fond memories with as friends, business partners, and mentors. We are also deeply honored as a family that I am now the third member of the family, after my father and brother, to be recognized for this award. MAP’s overarching theme for 2018 is “Competing in the Age of Disruption.” As I was reflecting on the many achievements of our esteemed previous awardees, as well as MAP’s enduring work in advancing the management profession in the country, I realize that this theme remains relevant and resonant, regardless of the period. In every timeframe in our history, we have had to deal with disruptions on various fronts. These challenge us to continuously find ways to put our organizations—and our country through our collective contributions—on a clear path to shared prosperity. We live in a world that is very volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. But while current developments appear bleak, today’s dynamic times have likewise given birth to impressive advances and amazing possibilities. We live in an era where technological innovation, new business models, and new ways of thinking can be used to benefit a larger number of our population. This is the notion that I would like to put forward today—that the ingredients to bring the country to the next level are already within our grasp. MAP and our individual organizations carry the challenge and responsibility to properly harness the potentials of today and use them to create a progressive, equitable, and Future-Ready Philippines. Our journey towards future-readiness requires a strong platform from where we can launch ourselves. I believe that we have already been building this over the last few years. I refer to our macroeconomic foundations, and our highly talented and committed human capital. On the former, I think we would all agree that we have had a unique period of continued economic growth that has transformed our country. This growth has largely been consumer- led, supported by strong overseas remittances, the growing BPO and services sector, and complemented by increasing investments. I would also like to emphasize the enormous role that local private capital from many of the companies represented here today has played in the growth of our economy. We also see many positive developments with our people, whose median age is 24 and where a third of the total population are millennials. We are also seeing a continuing influx of young and talented Filipinos who have studied and trained overseas. These young Filipino professionals not only possess excellent technical skills, but are also technologically adept, and more importantly, have the ideals and innate passion to contribute to national development. They are also prepared to take on significant managerial responsibilities at a much younger age than we may have been used to in the past. 2 The challenge we all now face as a business community is to determine where we want our country to be in the next 10, 20 and 30 years. There are many areas where the private sector is focusing its efforts. From our point of view in Ayala, we have decided that four areas hold tremendous potential to make a lasting and meaningful impact as we build a Future-Ready Philippines. These sectors are: inclusive finance, education, healthcare, and sustainable tourism. Let me start with financial inclusion. It is unacceptable that only 23% of Filipinos are part of the banking system. The rest are exposed to unauthorized lenders charging exorbitant rates and face the risks of the unofficial economy. We are doing our part through banking channels and mobile solutions. BPI formed BanKo a few years ago to serve micro, small, and medium enterprises with their lending requirements. We further recognize that mobile technology has likewise provided a unique opportunity to serve the financial needs of a broad segment of our people. Through one’s mobile device, there are now several solutions available for payments and mobile wallets, digital lending, plus wealth management and credit analytics. Our partnership with Ant Financial, a subsidiary of Alibaba, has brought forth an enormous amount of knowledge in the fintech and mobile space, given the cutting edge technology that China has been deploying for their population. While the Philippines is still far from having fintech as ubiquitous as it is in China, together with Ant Financial, we are excited to further develop our fintech industry to reach our financially underserved countrymen. Ensuring the success of our financial inclusion efforts through mobile technology, however, requires massive investments in telecom infrastructure. The telcos have been spending record amounts to keep up with the exponential demand for more data and faster connections. Let me now shift to education. McKinsey estimates that up to 15% of the global labor force, or 375 million workers, will have to switch jobs by 2030. As certain professions are rendered irrelevant, new opportunities will emerge. However, this will require the right type of training in 21st Century skills and values. On a more basic level, we must immediately tackle the serious condition we face in many of our schools, wherein 3.6 million Filipino youths find themselves out-of-school. Even more stunning are the findings of the Philippine National Employability Report, published in 2017 by employability assessment firm, Aspiring Minds. From their survey of 60,000 fresh graduates from 80 tertiary level institutions, they found that 65% of Filipino graduates lacked the appropriate skills and were thus unemployable in their sector of choice. Our educational system is in serious need of help and it is very encouraging that the private sector has been contributing in a significant way. In our own case, our solutions revolve around some of the key problems that we have had to address through our schools. These include a huge reduction in dropout rates; increasing the employability of our students; and producing competent teachers to sustain education reform. At the basic education level, through CENTEX and APEC Schools, we have changed the way students are taught with a curriculum that focuses on practical skills and innovative teaching methods. Through close coordination with the needs of industry, we were also able to design programs where recent graduates are employed within 90 days and receive starting salaries that are significantly higher than the average. At the teacher level, we are delighted that through our partnership 3 with the National Teachers College, we now have an opportunity to equip our teachers with the necessary skills to drastically improve the quality of instruction in the country. Aside from our students, we also need to give the workforce an opportunity to upskill and retrain themselves. A number of online digital learning solutions are readily accessible with content from the world’s top universities offering customized training programs, suited to the individual’s needs, and at a very modest cost. We have recently launched Ayala University, a digital learning platform that brings together carefully selected online global content from the best schools to upskill our employees at an exponential scale.

  • AC Earnings Release
    11 August 2017 1H 2017 EARNINGS RELEASE Ayala’s net income rose to ₱15.1 billion in the first-half, up 9% year- on-year Ayala Corporation’s net income expanded nine percent in the first half of the year to ₱15.1 billion year-on-year, primarily driven by the solid contributions of its real estate and power generation businesses. Equity earnings amounted to ₱17.4 billion in the first semester, six percent higher from a year ago. This was underpinned by robust contributions from Ayala Land and AC Energy, which grew 17 percent and 64 percent, respectively. In the second quarter, Ayala recorded a net income of ₱8.1 billion, up two percent from its year- ago level. The higher securities trading gains recognized by Bank of the Philippine Islands in the previous year tempered Ayala’s net earnings during the period. “We are pleased with the overall strong performance of our businesses. The active portfolio management, new business initiatives, and financial discipline we employed in recent years— supported by a healthy domestic economy—continue to bolster Ayala’s growth trajectory,” Ayala President and Chief Operating Officer Fernando Zobel de Ayala said. Real Estate Ayala Land sustained its growth trajectory in the first semester, recording ₱11.5 billion in net income, an 18 percent-jump from a year ago on the continued expansion of its property development and commercial leasing businesses. Revenues from Ayala Land’s property development business rose 32 percent to ₱44.3 billion, mainly driven by strong performance across its residential, office for sale, and commercial and industrial lots sales segments.
