SECURITY BANK CORP.

Owner Name:
Mr. Alberto Villarosa

Short History:
Security Bank was established on June 18, 1951 as Security Bank and Trust Company
(SBTC) in Manila. At the time, SBTC was the first privately-owned, Filipino-controlled
bank of the post-World War II era. The bank's head office was first located in the Don
Roman Santos Building on Plaza Goiti, moving to Escolta in 1954. At the time, Security
Bank was so aggressive in opening branches that at one point during the 1950s, it had
more branches in Metro Manila than any other local bank.
Beginning in the 1960s, Security Bank also started expanding outside Metro Manila, with
the opening of its first provincial branch in Angeles City, Pampanga. Within the decade,
the bank started a rapid expansion in the provinces. It was also in the 1960s that Security
Bank led a consortium of local and foreign companies that lent US$ 62 million to the
Lopez family to fund their acquisition of Meralco, the first of its kind in Philippine
banking history.
In the 1970s, Security Bank issued its first credit card, introducing the Philippines
to Diners Club. It also marked the start of the bank's trust offerings, many of which were
deemed innovative, and still survive today as pre-need and common-trust plans, of which
they are descended from Security Bank's offerings at the time. Towards the end of the
1970s, the bank was granted permission to operate a foreign currency division by
the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. It widened its investment services portfolio in the 1980s,
even when the Philippines was thrown into a deepening political crisis. Like other major
banks, Security Bank survived.
The 1990s brought in new owners led by present chairman Frederick Y. Dy. On April 26,
1994, the bank was issued a universal banking license by the BSP. With the issuance of
its universal banking license, the legal name of Security Bank changed to the present-day
Security Bank Corporation. The bank also moved to its new headquarters along Ayala
Avenue in Makati City. SBC's stock was also formally listed on the Philippine Stock
Exchange on June 8, 1995, with a 1.5 billion-peso initial public offering.

UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU) to bolster its capital and enhance their global capabilities. BTMU is

SMA, which became the first commercially produced and distributed synthetic milk in
the United States in 1921. The business was eventually sold in 1932 to American Home
Products Corporation (AHP) of New York.
Though SMA started importation to the Philippines in 1925, the joint venture between
A.T. Suaco and AHP in 1958 marked the beginning of the Wyeth nutrition and
pharmaceutical business in the country. This collaboration was also recognized as the first
Philippine-American tie-up in the pharmaceutical industry, under the official name Wyeth
Suaco Laboratories, Inc. (WSL). In 1964, WSL was inaugurated as the first
manufacturing plant for infant nutrition products in the country with its first facility in
Makati.
In 1987, WSL merged with Ayerst International, and subsequently acquired A.H. Robins.
WSL began construction of a huge nutritional manufacturing facility in 1990 in Cabuyao,
Laguna, which became fully operational after two years. WSL then changed its name to
Wyeth Philippines, Inc. (WPI) in 1993.
Pfizer globally acquired the business in 2009, and the nutrition arm of Wyeth became
Pfizer Nutrition. At the end of 2012, Pfizer announced its strategic alternative and Nestle
S.A. completed the acquisition of Pfizer Nutrition—now recognized as Wyeth Nutrition.
Today, Wyeth Nutrition continues to be a leading global brand.
