Passion, drive and heart of an MVP
When I joined PLDT-Smart Foundation in 2011, our first gift to Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan (MVP) was a book entitled “Game of Life: Passion, Drive and Heart of an MVP.” The book put together what we think are three of MVP’s dominant passions: business, basketball and CSR. It also captured some of the precious moments of an exhibition game where he brought in some of the top NBA players to the Smart Araneta Coliseum. This amazing feat was topped by the Philippines’ hosting of the FIBA Games in 2023, again made possible by MVP’s single-minded resolve to bring the best of the sport to our basketball-crazy country.

Early birthday gift for MVP
MANILA, Philippines — Now it can be told. Meralco chairman/CEO Manny V. Pangilinan went to the Bolts’ locker-room about an hour before Game Six of the PBA Philippine Cup Finals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum last Sunday and showed a 1971 newspaper clipping of a MICAA championship match.
