Brief History: The Company began in 1834 with the formation of a distillery owned by
Casa Róxas, a partnership between Domingo Róxas and Antonio de Ayala. The distillery
was the maker of Ginebra San Miguel and was later acquired by La Tondeña, Inc. in
1929. More than a decade later, the firm established what was to be the precursor of the
Bank of the Philippine Islands, the first bank in the Philippines. Fast-forward to 1881,
Jacobo Zobel y Zangroniz introduced Tramcars to the metro, the country’s first public
mass transportation system. The firm finally took root in 1968, the year it was officially
incorporated. Eight years later, in 1976, Ayala Corp. became a publicly listed company.
1988 saw the birth of Ayala Land, which now holds a variety of developments from
residences, malls, hotels & resorts, to name a few. What we now know as Bonifacio

Brief History: GT Capital Holdings, Inc. (GTCAP) was incorporated on July 26, 2007 as
a holding company. GT Capital traces its history to Metropolitan Bank and Trust
Company (Metrobank), one of the Philippines’ largest banks. Dr. George S.K. Ty

more stringent Basel III regulations, GT Capital was formed to assume Metrobank’s
non-banking businesses and to function as the Ty family’s official holding company.
Today, GT Capital owns market-dominant businesses in five vital high-growth sectors
that drive the Philippine economy, namely banking, automotive, infrastructure and
utilities, property development, insurance, and microfinancing.

responsibility and environmental sustainability projects.

of education and initiating projects for the marginalized in our society.
