San Miguel Corporation (SMC) president and chief operating officer Ramon S. Ang was recently named Executive of the Year in the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Annual Awards at Manila Hotel.
The country’s oldest media organization bestowed the honor on Ang, also known as RSA, mainly for his three teams in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA)—San Miguel Beer, Barangay Ginebra and Magnolia Pambansang Manok, the three most popular teams in the PBA.
He also threw his support to women’s volleyball through his Petron Blaze Spikers in the Philippine Super Liga. He is also behind the success of his son, karting star Jacob Ang.
He also supported the training of skater Michael Martinez, who recently completed in the Winter Olympics held in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
In 2005, RSA and SMC were instrumental in leading the Philippine team to the overall championship in the Southeast Asian Games. The hosts won a total of 290 medals composed of 112 golds, 85 silvers and 93 bronzes.
