San Miguel Corp., the conglomerate led by tycoon Ramon S. Ang, delivered a sharp profit jump in 2025, with core net income climbing 52 percent to P79.6 billion as margin expansion and improved operating efficiency across its major businesses offset mixed revenue trends.
Under the multi-agency program, San Miguel will deploy heavy equipment and personnel to help rehabilitate eight waterways across Cebu City, Mandaue, Talisay, Liloan and Consolacion. The effort will mirror the company’s Better Rivers PH initiative, which has already cleared millions of tons of silt and waste from river systems in Luzon over the past five years.
San Miguel Corp. (SMC) has launched a large-scale river cleanup and restoration program in Laguna, pledging to fund the entire operation at no cost to government as part of its flood-reduction efforts.
Deep fake videos circulating on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram digitally alter Ang’s likeness and voice to trick viewers into clicking links and transferring money through e-wallets. SMC said it has reported the cases to platforms and authorities but is awaiting action.
Carma's findings highlight the media’s preference for CEOs who are visibly tied to nation-building efforts. Ang’s expansive infrastructure projects and Pangilinan’s leadership in energy and utilities gave them unmatched visibility.
Major Philippine business groups have declared support for the plan of the San Miguel Corp. president and CEO to undertake flood control projects in Metro Manila at no cost to the government. The endorsements underline confidence in the private sector’s capacity to tackle long-standing national problems.
