The Philippines’ richest businessman – Henry Sy.

He started out a small sari-sari store business which has helped them in their day-to-day life. Sy and his father used to live in a small space until the fruits of their labor made them successful in the passing years.

But with Henry Sy’s determination, he stayed in the Philippines and built his own shoe business in Marikina – the Shoe Mart, now popularly known as SM malls dominating the whole country. He also owns Banco De Oro and a majority share in China Bank.
