PRACTICAL EXERCISE 3B

MNAB 312

I. Give your ideas about leading as a function of management:

1. Identify five (5) Electrical/Geodetic/Electronics/Mechanical Engineers in the

Philippines. Describe his/her leadership style. Are there important changes that have
to be made in his style? List down the proposed character change applicable.

1) Geronimo Z. Velasco
The late mechanical engineer Ronnie Velasco was winner of the 1977
Management Man of the Year Award, first president of Philippine National
Oil Company (PNOC). He was chairman of Republic Glass Holdings Corp.
which used to own the pioneer factory supplying 70 percent of Philippine
glass requirements for home and building construction since 1956. The firm
sold its shares in Republic-Asahi Glass Corp. to its Japanese partner Asahi
Glass in 2001.

Velasco was a protégé of the smart yet controversial American Jewish self-
made tycoon Harry Stonehill, who tasked Velasco in the late 1950s with
building the Philippines’ pioneer glass manufacturing factory. Velasco also
served as energy minister from 1978 to 1986, implementing President
Marcos’s then strategic goal of reducing Philippine dependence on imported
oil. I had met him a few years ago when his friend SM founder Henry Sy
invited me to five hours dinner at Banana Leaf resto of the newly opened
Podium mall.

2) Diosdado “Dado” Banatao

The Filipino high-tech entrepreneur and innovator in Silicon Valley,
California is an electrical engineering cum laude graduate from the Mapua
Institute of Technology with a master’s in electrical engineering and computer
science from Stanford University. I met him in California in 2001. His cousin,
Dr. Orlando “Orly” Banatao Molina, is now a candidate for president of the
Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), which he hopes to upgrade,
similar to Asia’s best schools like the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

3) Ramon S. Ang
This mechanical engineering graduate of Far Eastern University is now the
dynamic boss who is transforming San Miguel Corp. from a beer giant into a
diversified conglomerate with huge investments in infrastructure, energy and
other fields. Due to Ang’s bold strategic reforms, beer and foods now
constitute only 20 percent of San Miguel’s total businesses.

4) Henry Lim Bon Liong.

 This mechanical engineering graduate of UP batch 1972 is a leader in
Philippine paper products with Sterling Paper Group. In recent years, Lim has
become more known as a pioneer of hybrid rice technology with his SL
Agritech Corp. which seeks to promote Philippine rice self-sufficiency. He is
now one of the vice presidents of the Federation of Filipino-Chinese
Chambers of Commerce & Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII).

5) Bayani Fernando.
The former Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairman and
Marikina mayor is a mechanical engineering graduate of Mapua. Before
entering politics, he was founder of the BF Group of Companies, with
construction, steel, manufacturing and real estate businesses. BF built the
country’s tallest building, top shopping malls, industrial and residential
subdivisions and other facilities. Like Consunji, BF is also a former secretary
of the Department of Public Works and Highways. BF once told me that
engineers like him “are more practical and prefer to focus more on solving
problems.

6) Ralph Pablo
declared an Outstanding Geodetic Engineer by the Professional Regulations
Commission.

A stalwart in the geodetic practice in the Philippines fully engaged in the

pursuit of a reliable land survey in the country as a foundation for
developmental efforts and the advancement of a responsive land information
system, Engr. Ralph C. Pablo has silently yet effectively played a big role in
allowing geodesy to shape national development.

Owing to his long career in the Geodetic practice dating back in 1985 as a
Surveyman for the Bureau of Lands in Region 2, he acquired a firm grasp of
the importance of geodetic controls in a country that can cope with the
changing requirements of economic development. Hence, 25 years later in his
stint as the Director of the Land Management Bureau (LMB), he started the
operationalization of the Land Administration Management System (LAMS)
that saw the digitalization of Land Records and of the Inspection, Verification
and Approval of Surveys (IVAS). He also initiated the installation of LAMS
e-Survey Plan to guarantee a faster approval process through Digital Land
Survey Data (DLSD) which provides a faster survey returns verification and
approval process. He is also responsible for the conduct of Inventory, Sorting
and Grooming (ISG) of all Land Records in the 16 Regional Offices, including
their respective CENROs and PENROs. But none of these compare to the fact
that it was this unassuming fellow that spearheaded the completion of the
Cadastral Survey Project in the country, his legacy, a timeless extension of his
hard work and dedication to his craft that everyone in the geodetic practice
will cherish forever.
2. Identify twenty (20) successful leaders in the country. Provide his/her achievements
and Accomplishments.

1) Rodrigo Duterte
16th President of the Philippines at age 71, making him the oldest president of the
country. His war on drugs has had a major impact on the Philippines. At the age of
32, he joined the prosecutor’s office in Davao City as the Special Counsel, and
every two to three years, he has been given a higher position in the prosecutor’s
office. By 1986, he was assigned the responsibility of the vice mayor of the city of
Davao. One of the laws in the Philippines is that a political person is forbidden to
be in the same position for more than three consecutive terms.

ever done this.

and removed the red tape. A new provider entered (DITO).

includes the longest bridge in Cordova, Cebu, and the planning of Negros-Panay
bridge which will be started before his term ends.

construction started, has been dormant. It opened last October 21 under Duterte. This

strict impartiality in applying the law. "No bribes or extortion" was the first rule of her
courtroom.
 As commissioner of Immigration and Deportation, DEFENSOR SANTIAGO set out
to show that a "traditionally corrupt government agency can be reformed." With
breathtaking decisiveness, she threw out the fixers, transferred suspected bribe-takers
from sensitive positions, and filed administrative charges against corrupt employees.
She swept away corruption-breeding disorder and red tape. She declared war on crime
syndicates and exposed drug pushers, pedophiles, gunrunners, and passport forgers.
 Confronting the staggering consequences of her country's graft-driven "open-door"
immigration system, DEFENSOR SANTIAGO sought simple yet effective solutions:
 self-deportation with amnesty for certain illegal aliens, and, for close to 500,000 other
overstaying foreigners, an opportunity to legalize their Philippine residency. The hefty
fee the latter pay goes to the state, not to bribe-takers.

3. Describe president Duterte as a leader. What is his leadership style?

Duterte is known for his authoritarian leadership style, decisiveness, fiery
rhetoric, and man-of-the-people persona. As a leader, Mr. Duterte uses a combination
of different leadership skills characterized by firmness in decisions, taking
responsibility for all actions made, and the ability to accomplish the desired outcomes.
He is a transactional leader with charisma to the masses. He actively monitors the
work performed by subordinates and executes corrective actions if deviations from
expected standards occur. He is an entrepreneurial leader, a risk-taker, and a
negotiator. His autocracy fits the level of maturity of the Dabawenyos. He is voted
primarily for his leadership skills in maintaining peace and order while the various
programs he has implemented are considered additional accomplishments to his brand
he won most of the Filipinos hearts because he can easily connect with people
especially the homeless and poor people because of his past experiences. His
charisma does not only help him in the elections but also, his confidence. He was the
mayor of Davao City for more than two decades and he experienced different
positions from municipal to regional government. He has the confidence that he has
the power to change the country for its better development just like what he did in
Davao City by making it, a crime-and-drug-free city. Lastly, a great leader must have
 the determination and Rodrigo Duterte has it; he would do anything it takes to ban
drugs in the Philippines. This shows that he gives severe attention to drug-related
issues and to poor people. Rodrigo Duterte is an effective leader because Filipinos
follow him and believe that he can change the country despite his vulgar attitudes and
his barbaric ways to solve an issue such as drugs.
