Tycoon Fernando Zobel de Ayala led a contingent of Ayala Group executives to support a series of events by the We Are Ayala Business Club (WAABC) Negros, including a 400-strong employee town hall, a multi-brand trade fair, and a client appreciation night.
"WAABC Negros is a crucial piece of this purpose. We hope to demonstrate Ayala's continuing commitment to the region’s development," Zobel added.
The WAABC is close to the seventh-generation Zobel, who revitalised the organization while he was Ayala Corp. CEO until he stepped down in 2022.
Zobel remains a member of the boards of Ayala, Bank of the Philippine Islands, and Ayala Land.
He is also the chair of Ayala Foundation and Ayala's healthcare arm, AC Health.
"Negros is the fourth stop of a series of regional visits that we have done, focusing on provinces and cities where there is a significant presence of Ayala group employees and key stakeholders of the company,” Zobel said.
“We plan to visit the other five business clubs in key areas across the country to also touch base with our Ayala Group partners, customers, valued clients, and local officials," he added.
