In conversation with Jaime Alfonso Zobel de Ayala

[@JanBanJoovi-ol1qv]

He’s just 32 and speaks like a seasoned CEO. Leadership runs in his blood. You can’t sense arrogance in him despite his social status. He’s on track to be the proper successor.

[@lawrence.centinales]

he looks and talks like his father

[@alma09876]

Leadership skill is not inborn. It is acquired through training and because of luck or opportunity given by his privilege status.

[@JanBanJoovi-ol1qv]

@@alma09876 runs in the blood is just an expression, and not to be taken literally. It only means he was born with the privilege of having a father who could pass on the valuable skills to run a big business. If you take everything literal, life sucks and boring, you will end up arguing about every single sh*t.

He comes from the Old Money of the Philippines. My mom used to work for the Cojuangcos and she used to say that the Ayala clan looked like celebrities when she saw them during parties.

[@nielsplav]

Both Mariana and Jaime Alfonso already have the business acumen ingrained in them at such a tender age which speaks volumes of how the preceding generation has groomed them into the future driving force of Ayala Corporation. But still, they remain down-to-earth just like JAZA and FZA which makes them very refreshing to watch.

I am a Filipino American and retired. I briefly work as an Engineer for Atlantic Gulf in 1970s and my own experience in USA and watching the rise of Asian Tigers compels me to believe that the only way for the Philippines to prosper is to allow corporations to compete in manufacturing internationally

[@TheMilpitasguy]

The Chinoys will say Chow King, Goldilocks, Red Ribbon are easier to set up AND less capital intensive. I'm like you. I favor a more industrialized base, steel manufacturing and our own military industrial complex. I used to work for SSAB, a Swedish steelmaking company. I know all about metal coils and metal plates. The stewardship of our economy by the Chinoys has not been all that great. Kung hanggang Blend 45 coffee and Robina Chicken lang ang alam nila, let's give other folks a chance.

There is something you dont understand about Filipino races. During the pullout of Spain from the Philippines some chose to stay and never go back to spain. The locals also dont have any bad blood with spanish people because they have a new common enemy which is the americans. And also spanish people who was born in the philippines where called the original Filipinos, while the locals were calles indios. So there is no questions on who is Filipino and who is not. The locals just upgraded their status from being indios into Filipinos.
