Know the story how he built all SM Malls and became one of the biggest bankers enabling him to become the richest man in our country surpassing both Lucio Tan and the Ayalas. Let’s learn from a successful entrepreneur story as his daughter Teresita Sy-Coson narrates the story of his father’s success: 

Our company, SM, came from the hard work of my dad, Henry Sy, Sr. It is a rags to riches story that even myself did not realize until I went to trace his roots in China.

His determination, discipline and thriftiness have produced an astute and street smart businessman who has influenced a lot of people. Including us, his children. 

He was disappointed with the economy many times, but he never saw the reason to quit and instead pursued his goals relentlessly. He had many obstacles, both external and internal  and there were times he could not understand why things had to be so complicated for him to pursue his business objectives.

Bakit Mahalaga Ang FINANCIAL FREEDOM?

Iba kasi kapag may FINANCIAL FREEDOM. Kapag may pera ka may choice ka.

Pero kapag wala kang pera ay sa turo-turo o murang carinderia ka lang kumakain. No choice ka, hindi ka makakain sa mamahaling restaurant eh!
