Examples of the latter would be the Government Service Insurance System, a social security system for government employees. There are over 200 GOCCs. GOCCs both receive subsidies and pay dividends to the national government. Under the GOCC Governance Act (Republic Act 10149; Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCC) Governance Act of 2011), GOCCs are overseen by the Governance Commission for Government-Owned or Controlled Corporations (GCG).[3] The Governance Commission is the "government’s central advisory and oversight body over the public corporate sector" according to the Official Gazette of the Philippine government.[4] The Governance Commission among other duties prepares for the President of the Philippines a shortlist of candidates for appointment by the president to GOCC boards. Many but not all GOCCs have their own charter or law outlining its responsibilities and governance.

Headquartered at the PNB Financial Center in Pasay City,[8][9] the airline was founded in 1941 and is the first and oldest commercial airline in Asia operating under its original name.[10] Out of its hubs at Ninoy Aquino International Airport of Manila, Clark International Airport of Angeles, Mactan-Cebu International Airport of Cebu, and Francisco Bangoy International Airport of Davao, Philippine Airlines serves 31 destinations in the Philippines and 41 overseas destinations in Southeast Asia, East Asia, Middle East, Oceania, North America and Europe. Formerly one of the largest Asian airlines, PAL was severely affected by the 1997 Asian financial crisis. In one of the Philippines' biggest corporate failures, PAL was forced to downsize its international operations by completely cutting flights to Europe and Middle East, cutting virtually all domestic flights except routes operated from Manila, reducing the size of its fleet, and laying off thousands of employees. The airline was placed under receivership in 1998, and gradually restored operations to many destinations. After PAL's exit from receivership in 2007, PAL embarked on a frequent revamp of management. However, PAL's vision to re-establish itself as one of Asia's premier carriers, is still the matter of greatest importance.Philippine Airlines is owned by PAL Holdings (PSE: PAL), a holding company responsible for the airline's operations. PAL Holdings is in turn part of a group of companies owned by business tycoon Lucio Tan.

- Two weeks ago Tan made his son Bong president of the listed PAL Holdings, but until then the Philippine business community had presumed the heir apparent to the entire conglomerate to be eldest son Michael, 54, who was in 2012 named president and chief operating officer of LT Group, the family holding company.But in June this year Michael sold off most of his shares in the firm and was left with an equal amount of equity to Bong. This came after his father, the chairman of the board, clipped his powers as president. The post no longer gave him the right to preside over board meetings. The elder Tan revived the post of vice-chairman and gave that power to its holder. Tan’s younger brother Harry now holds the post.A source familiar with the family who spoke on condition of anonymity said Bong was three months younger than Michael. The pair are half-brothers – Bong’s mother is the elder Tan’s wife Carmen, while Michael is Tan’s son by his common law partner, Letty. The duo are reportedly good friends after both attending Dunman High School in Singapore and then Peking University in Beijing to study Chinese history for two years. After that both went to North America – Michael to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver to study civil engineering, and Bong to the University of California-Davis to study the same. Tycoon Tan reportedly sent them on similar paths in an effort to achieve harmony in the family.https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/people/article/3037283/philippine-business-community-reeling-after-deaths-titan-john

The origins of MBC can be traced to DZRH, which first went on air as KZRH on the morning of July 15, 1939 by the Heacock Company, a prominent department store based in Escolta Street, Binondo, Manila. Years later, it bought KZRC (now DYRC) from Isaac Beck in Cebu City. The Japanese took over the stations and KZRH became PIAM (Philippine Islands AM) for their propaganda use.

- https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/people/article/3089472/philippine-tycoon-and-san-miguel-boss-eduardo-danding-cojuangco The death of tycoon Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco, Jnr. at the age of 85 in Manila on Tuesday night has drawn mixed reactions in the Philippines , where his corporate and political achievements were tarnished by his links to the late former dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Cojuangco was chairman of San Miguel Corporation, the country’s largest food and drink conglomerate, which produces San Miguel beer and also has interests in energy, power, oil refining and infrastructure. He was also chairman of the Nationalist People’s Coalition Party, which has three sitting senators and is part of the ruling party coalition. The businessman ran for president in 1992 but Imelda Marcos, widow of the late dictator, joined the race, splitting the pro-Marcos votes. It was the last time he would run for president. Instead he set up his own party and became a political kingmaker, backing the presidential run of actor-turned-vice-president Joseph Estrada in 1998, then his relative Benigno Aquino III in 2010. The ironic twist of a Marcos loyalist supporting the son of the woman who helped topple Marcos sent tongues wagging, as Cojuangco was initially linked to the killing of former Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino in 1983. Years later, Kris Aquino denied that Cojuangco was behind her father’s assassination. He noted that the tycoon, who was of Chinese descent and had lost his father at age 16, belonged to the poorest branch of the Cojuangco family and once worked as a petrol attendant in the United States to earn pocket money while studying at California Polytechnic College. “I believe that without the aid of Marcos he could not build what he built in his lifetime,” Parreño said. Cojuangco was the lone civilian and political ally in a clique of generals who helped Marcos plan the imposition of martial law in 1972, which extended his term indefinitely. The two men were so close that they were named as godfather to each other’s eldest sons. Marcos’ only son, Ferdinand “Bongbong” Jnr., called his godfather “a rock in my life”. In 1973, the dictator issued a decree imposing a “coconut levy” on coconut farmers of 15 pesos per 100kg of copra sold, to fund the development of the industry. Cojuangco controlled the fund and used it to purchase 26.6 per cent of San Miguel shares through an investment holding firm established for the benefit of coconut farmers, while he took out a loan from United Coconut Planters Bank (funded by the same levy) to buy a 20 per cent stake in San Miguel for himself. These twin purchases gave Cojuangco control of 46.6 per cent of the company, and he assumed chairmanship of San Miguel in 1984. But this was cut short when Marcos was ousted and he fled together with the Marcoses to Hawaii in 1986. The San Miguel shares were sequestered by the Aquino government as part of the “ill-gotten wealth” of the Marcoses and their cronies. Nearly three decades later, however, the Supreme Court ruled that Cojuangco indeed owned 20 per cent of San Miguel while 26.6 per cent belonged to the government since the coconut levy was a form of tax. Seven senators offered their condolences, but there was no word from Marcos’ daughter, Senator Imee Marcos, who won last year with the backing of Cojuangco’s political party. Instead, she issued a statement lamenting the country’s poor internet service, titled “WHY, OH WHY, MY WI-FI!”.
