A legacy starts with curiosity and, according to Lance Gokongwei, is shaped by grit, integrity, and an everyday commitment to facing what lies ahead.
From family beginnings and challenges they’ve faced to the lessons passed down through generations and the legacies still being written, we explore what it means to build something that extends beyond a single lifetime.
The Head of the Gokongwei Group and President and CEO of JG Summit Holdings details the origins of one of the largest conglomerates in the Philippines and reflects on its purpose to build businesses that serve the nation by providing better options for the Filipino people.
Gokongwei also looks back at the lessons he learned from his father, business magnate John Gokongwei, and looks ahead at the legacy he continues to build every day.
