PHINMA Corporation announced leadership changes in the company with Oscar J. Hilado stepping down as Chairman of the Board with Ramon R. del Rosario Jr. taking over the helm.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, PHINMA said Hilado, who has led the company as chairman since 2003, will stay as the company’s chairman emeritus.
Del Rosario, previously the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is now the Chairman and CEO of PHINMA Corp. Replacing del Rosario as president is Dr. Chito B. Salazar, who will concurrently serve as chief operating officer and head of education.
“I have full confidence in Ramon and Chito that they will lead PHINMA towards the realization of our goal of making the essentials to a dignified life more accessible to more families,” said Hilado.
He noted that, “PHINMA has weathered many crises in its 66 years of existence, and it has always come out stronger and wiser. I am sure this time will be no different.”
“PHINMA has always aimed to find the gaps in our society–here in the Philippines and elsewhere–where we can help,” del Rosario said.
He added that, “The current landscape has given us the opportunity to spot these gaps more quickly and has obliged us to respond more quickly as well. We pursue our mission of ‘making lives better’ with ever-growing fervor.”
“PHINMA banks on its 66 years of mission-driven businesses in treading new terrain and facing new challenges. We draw from experience as we answer the call to make business a force for doing good,” said Salazar.
