ANNA MELOTO-WILK

Anna is a daughter of Antonio Meloto, the founder of Gawad Kalinga, a Philippine-based

poverty alleviation and nation-building movement. As a daughter of someone who has
responsibility in his shoulders to somehow do something to level the playing field and provide
more opportunities for the poor, she grew up in a village where the middle class and poor
were neighbours. Their family only had enough or just the basics for a dignified life. They were
exposed to the realities of poverty and inequality in the Philippines at a young age. This
experience helped shape their values and taught them to interact
with people from all walks of life and treat everyone with dignity
and respect.

After college, she decided to enter the corporate world instead of joining Gawad
Kalinga as she felt the need to find her own path and step out of her father's shadow. She fell
in love with the art of brand-building and communications. She worked in media, advertising
and a multinational food brand where she learned the skills she find useful in leading Human
Nature.

She is currently the President of Gandang Kalikasan, Inc., the makers of Human Nature, a brand of natural
personal care and cosmetic products. She is in new product development, promotion of social entrepreneurship and
Gawad Kalinga partnerships.
Why she became a social entrepreneur?

Human Natures promote advocacies that are Pro-Philippines, in which they use local ingredients whenever possible so
made in the Philippines can mean world-class; Pro-poor, to empower rural and urban communities by buying raw materials
and finished goods at fair trade prices and lastly Pro-environment, biodegradable and at least 95% natural-safe to earth,
kind to animals and good for you.

MARIA FE PEREZ-AGUDO

Maria Fe Perez-Agudo, The President and Chief Executive Officer of Hyundai Asia
Resources, Incorporated (HARI), President and co-founder of the Association of Vehicle
Importers and Distributors (AVID), 2013 Go Negosyo Women Icons of Entrepreneurship
Awardee, and 2011 Ernst and Young Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Philippines should
know.
Her impressive entrepreneurial track was built on a series of calculated risks. This
outstanding executive, thought leader, and one of the few women leaders in the Philippine
automotive industry, is an Accounting graduate of St. Scholasticas College, Manila, where she was a full scholar and student
leader. She also attended the Leadership Development Program at Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania.

Fe stepped up to her game. She got a job right after she graduated in order to be of help to the family. Today, she
counts 30 years of experience and expertise in real estate, then in the automotive industry, with proven and verifiable year-
after-year success in various business environments and rapidly-changing market scenarios.

Introducing Hyundai to the Philippines was no easy journey. First off, Fe and her startup team had to contend with the
long-established American and Japanese automotive giants, as well as debunk the then-pervading public perception that
Korean-made cars were lemons. From zero ranking, Hyundai became the Philippines third top-ranking automotive brand in
terms of sales.

Why she became an intrapreneur?

Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo has certainly proven her leadership chops as a woman in the multifarious aspects of
running a business in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Still, she maintains that leadership is not a question of
gender or title, but of the passion to make change happen, and building it into a legacy that would last.

EDUARDO COJUANGCO

Eduardo "Danding" Murphy Cojuangco Jr. is the chairman of San Miguel

Corporation, the largest food and beverage corporation in the Philippines
and Southeast Asia, former Philippine ambassador, and former governor of
Tarlac.

Other than owning the largest food and beverage corporation in the country
and several other companies, Cojuangco and his family also have economic
influence particularly in the province of Negros. When he and his close friend Ferdinand Marcos left the country in
1986, Cojuangco was estimated to have acquired over of 5,300 hectares of agricultural lands in the towns
of Himamaylan, Isabela, La Castellana, La Carlota, Pontevedra and San Enrique. He was also engaged in sugar farms,
orchards, cattle ranches, fighting cocks breeding farms business before he left. Upon his return in the Philippinesin
1991, he made the province as a base for his recovery, busying himself in various expansion projects there yet again.

In 1998, Cojuangco returned to San Miguel Corporation and elected himself as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer. He brought with him Ramon S. Ang, his friend and a former auto-mechanic whom he entrusted his

Miguel shares. The government, who filed the lawsuit against him, claimed that the shares were acquired illegally
from coconut farmers during Marcos rule.

million shares for P75 each for P37 billion. Top Frontier is composed of businessmen Roberto Ongpin, Inigo Zobel
