Manuel Velez Pangilinan, CLGCrL (born July 14, 1946), also known as Manny Pangilinan or sometimes by his initials MVP, is a Filipino businessman and sports patron. He is the managing director and CEO of First Pacific Company Limited, a Hong Kong-based investment management and holding company with operations in the Asia-Pacific region. Pangilinan is also the First Pacific's chairman for the group's investments in the Philippines, such as the Metro Pacific Investments Corporation, PLDT, and Philex Mining Corporation. He is the chairman Emeritus of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) and was its first president, having served two consecutive terms from 2007 to 2018.
Pangilinan's first job was as the executive assistant to the president of the Philippine Investment Management Consultants, Inc. (PHINMA) where he served for six years.[2]
In 1976, Pangilinan relocated to Hong Kong as executive director at Bancom International, an investment bank, where he gained experience in international finance. He then went on to the American Express in Hong Kong as an investment banker.[2]
In Hong Kong, Pangilinan co-founded First Pacific in 1981 with Sudono Salim and Salim's son, Anthoni Salim. In 1987, Pangilinan established Metro Pacific as First Pacific's investment arm in the Philippines.[2] As chairman of Metro Pacific, Pangilinan contributed to nation building through major investments in power distribution and energy innovations (Meralco), urban water concession (Maynilad Water Services), tollways (Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation), upgrading hospitals and health services (Metro Pacific Investments Corporation). He is also Chairman of TV5 and Philex Mining Corporation.[citation needed]
In 1998, First Pacific acquired PLDT, the largest telecommunications firm in the Philippines. The company, which had once been troubled by debt and technological issues,[3] improved under First Pacific's management to become the nation's leading provider of digital communications.[4]
Pangilinan is also a major patron of Philippine sports. He owns three PBA teams – TNT KaTropa, the Meralco Bolts and the NLEX Road Warriors.
