 Lopez Group Foundation Inc. chairman Oscar M. Lopez (center) signed the P25-million deed of donation that will enable the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) to renovate its Makati campus. Accepting the donation are AIM chairman Jose Cuisia (left) and president Edilberto de Jesus (right). The donation supplements the initial donation that the Lopezes gave in 1969 through the Eugenio Lopez Foundation Inc. to construct the AIM main building and dormitory. During the signing event, OML rededicated himself to the ideals that led his father, Eugenio H. Lopez Sr., to support AIM’s establishment. He said that being deeply committed to education, his father saw that the idea of setting up an academic institution with similar standards and methods as that of Harvard University—where his father took up Masters in Law—“was a good way of providing his most lasting legacy to the Philippines and Asia.”
