Eduard Santos, SKYCable:
I apply the Lopez values in my daily work by simply thinking that I am the owner of the company. In this way you will do all the best you can to do all your work, not just by completing it but by exceeding your target every day, by not being absent, not being late and always aiming for the higher goal. As what we say in Tagalog: “’Di pwede ‘yung pwede na, dapat pwedeng-pwede!”
Jenie Chan, ABS-CBN:
We may come from different Lopez companies, but there is a common mindset amongst us that distinctly distinguishes us from employees of other companies—it is our firm belief that each of one of us is a valuable contributor to achieving the social purpose of every Lopez business—service. Knowing that we are part of an organization committed to the betterment of Filipino society, the drive to consistently pursue excellence, and create and implement pioneering projects becomes second nature.
Christopher Santos, ABS-CBN:
As I write my copy and produce my plugs even for a niche audience, I confidently believe that…my words could reach even a single consciousness of youth and influence him or her to move and make a change. That suddenly trickles my nationalism and integrity even as it seeps through the airwaves and feeds my audacity for social justice with my daily copy.
Gonzalo Roque, EDC:
Since 1992, when I was hired by PNOC-EDC to work for the drilling group, and now as a kapamilya, I stood by my moral values. Several years ago, I was once bribed by a contractor. They wanted me to favor them in the bidding. I immediately declined the offer and confronted the contractor. I told him that he cannot buy my dignity and my love for EDC. I also informed my boss about this and he was pleased with the decision I made.
Pedro Abellano, EDC:
I treat the company as if it is my own and I am mindful in my bearing to show people from outside that we are respectable and professionals working in a prestigious company. It becomes inherent to us to be upswing in our duties to uphold our vision at Fluid Collection and Recovery System to ensure efficient utilization of our geothermal steam to supply the power plant. In this way I can reciprocate the best things that the company provided for my family.
Kimrey Gomez, ABS-CBN:
When I came on board last year, I was firmly convinced that the only way for our team to succeed in our role as stewards of accounts receivables is to fully engage our clients—agencies and advertisers—and such should be on a regular basis. We use the simple pyramid of engagement as our guide, where the base is communication, in order to build confidence, cooperation and ultimately benefit as the tip.
Edgardo Tadias, EDC:
I will be a brother and a sister to my colleagues in this company… treating them with utmost respect, inculcating unity, harmony and fairness in everyday dealings, inspiring younger siblings, respecting the knowledge, experience and wisdom of the older, always open to suggestions and opinions vital to the company’s growth. …I would always apply…the Lopez values by appreciating and loving what I do, and realizing that by doing so, I am serving EDC, my family and my country the way God wants me to.
Edgardo Cadungog, EDC:
I am blessed as a kapamilya in the Lopez Group of companies. I value working in EDC as I value serving the needs of my family. Reading the Lopez values, I was able to evaluate my work attitude and performance to check where I could start to comply with the expectations of EDC, as a member of the management.
