MSOpinion There can only be one Bobby Ongpin “There’s imperative need to update the 1987 charter to erase the fact that the Philippine charter has become repressive and a big hindrance to the entry of foreign investments”
“There’s imperative need to update the 1987 charter to erase the fact that the Philippine charter has become repressive and a big hindrance to the entry of foreign investments”
Ongpin was then the youngest ever to hold that position after he finished his post graduate course in Business Administration at Harvard University. But, when he was absent one time from a board meeting of the firm, business partner Willy Ocier ousted him from the board. RVO’s debt-free Alphaland Corp. is expanding into a nearby 732-ha Patnunangan Island, to be called Balesin International Gateway, which Bobby was expecting to be completely finished before the yearend.
To complement members and guests of Balesin, he has bought more Cessna planes for the benefit of members and guests, and a hydrofoil jet boat, which was scheduled to arrive in one week’s time from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, where it was brought by a vessel.In fact, another big project of Ongpin is to attract premier soccer big league teams to go to Balesin when it is winter in the United States and Europe..
Ongpin, as this column goes to press, will already have been buried in his beloved Balesin, cradled in its arms when he died and now cradled still in the arms of his Beloved Balesin.
