In a significant move, bilyonaryo Lucio C. Tan has taken on the role of chairman emeritus at the Philippine National Bank, while his wife, Carmen has joined the bank’s distinguished board Advisors.
In a statement issued, PNB also announced the appointment of Chester Y. Luy and Atty. Eusebio V. Tan as new members of the board of directors as part of a broader strategic restructuring.
The tobacco, beer and airlines tycoon and his wife will continue to be actively involved in the bank.
“As I assume the role of chairman emeritus, I would like to personally assure our customers, shareholders, investors, and employees that the Tan family will continue to be a major shareholder of PNB. We remain strongly committed to support the bank and its future,” Tan said.
Similar developments have been evident within Philippine Airlines, coinciding with the appointments of Lucio Tan III as the new president and COO of LTG and his brother Kyle as president of Eton Properties Philippines Inc.
It’s a move that underscores PNB’s commitment to adapting and thriving in an ever-evolving financial landscape,” said PNB president Florido Casuela.
Atty. Tan was the managing director of the prestigious law firm ACCRALAW. His areas of expertise include corporate law, banking and finance, investment law, franchising, mergers and acquisitions, government contracts, public-private partnership arrangements, and privatization projects.
Luy, on the other hand, served as a member of PNB’s board of advisors and held the position as PNB’s chief strategy officer and the head of Wealth Management Group. He also serves on the board of various corporations, including LTG, Tanduay Distillers and Eton Properties Philippines.
