Messages My best wishes to Aboitiz and Company, Tnc. on the occasion of Its golden anniversary. In the highly competitive field of commerce and Industry, Aboitiz stands as a splendid example of business stability and strength, as shown by its dynamic growth in. the past fifty years, a process intimately linked with the economic and social development of the Philippines itself. The rapid expansion of Aboitiz from a single company into a multi­ faceted enterprise involved in a wide range of business activities, includ­ ing manufacturing, shipping, trading, banking, insurance, home and commercial financing, utilities, and realty is indeed Impressive. This remarkable capacity for expansion, and the ability to survive and flourish in a highly competitive milieu should stimulate other Filipino economic enterprises, and thus spark our further and speedier develop­ ment. It is my hope that as it enters the second half-century of its corporate existence, Aboitiz will further contribute to the ceaseless task of nation­ building. perhaps by maintaining its business leadership and the quility of its services and products, which has distinguished its operations dur­ ing the past fifty years. (SGD.) FERDINAND E. MARCOS President of the Philippines It is with distinct pleasure that I greet Aboitiz and Company, In- - corporated as it celebrates its 50th Anniversary, a milestone in the company’s remarkable growth and progress. Starting as a hemp dealer and a iittle shipping and general mer­ chandise business in Leyte 50 years ago, Aboitiz and Company has since grown into a multimil­ lion-peso business enterprise which has diversified into all facets of the nation’s economy. It is through its remarkable growth that the name Aboitiz be­ came an institution and by-word in the business world, thanks to the pioneering enterpreneurship of Don Ramon Aboitiz, its venera­ ble founder. Again, I extend my felicitation^ to Aboitiz and Company, to Don Ramon Aboitiz, and to the other able men behind the company who have since become our dependable partners in the task of nation­ building. (SGD.) ERNESTO M. MACEDA Secretary of Commerce and Industry November 14, 1970 I take great pleasure in extend­ ing my felicitations to Aboitiz & Co. on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. This company has played a lead­ ing role in the building of our nation, a giant step from its hum­ ble beginnings as a hemp dealer 50 years ago in Palompon, Leyte. It is my hope that more men with the gift of Don Ramon Aboi­ tiz would continue to blaze the trail in business for the nation’s continuous prosperity. (SGD.) CESAR VIRATA Secretary of Finance Greetings to Aboitiz and Compa­ ny as it celebrates its golden anni­ versary. As the main- beneficiaries of the economic progress and prosperity generated by Aboitiz and Company through its diversified enterpri­ ses, the people of the Province of Cebu acknowledge with gratitude the contributions of this company to their well-being during tne past fifty years. I am aware that no single busi­ ness entity as big and as diversified as Aboitiz has done more to accele­ rate the development of the Pro­ vince of Cebu during the past halfcentury, thereby making it an im­ portant cog in the overall develop­ ment efforts of the country. I fail to see any business or eco­ nomic activity in Cebu today that does not reflect or contain the in­ fluence of Aboitiz, whether in ship­ ping, manufacturing, banking, insurance or utilities. My congratulations to Aboitiz and Company on its golden anni­ versary, (SGD.) O. G. RAMA. M.D. Provincial Governor of Cebu I join the people of Cebu and the rest of the nation in felicitating Aboitiz and Company, Inc. on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversa­ ry of its founding. We at Cebu City have every reason to be elated at this signi­ ficant event for the growth and progress of Aboitiz during the past half century parallels the econo­ mic development and prosperity of this southern metropolis itself. If Cebu City is today the social, commercial and cultural center of the South, it is due to a large ex­ tent to the impetus given by Aboi­ tiz to its development through its varied activities like shipping, banking, trading and others. On behalf of the people of Cebu City, I extend my congratulations to Aboitiz and Company on this auspicious occasion, with the' hope that it will continue to endeavor the acceleration of the economic development ofthis city. City of Cebu, October 15, 1970. (SGD.) EULOGIO E. BORRES Mayor of Cebu City Page 15 ABOITIZ & CO. SUPPLEMENT
