This is apart from his son’s death and the challenges that San Miguel Corp businesses had to face as an effect of the pandemic.
“For the first time in my life, I’ve experienced na mga masasakit na pangyayari na nangyari nung 2020. Namatayan po ako ng anak and tatlong beses po akong tinamaan ng COVID-19,” he said.
Ang’s son Jomar, who was the chief financial officer of RSA Motors, dealer of BMW cars in the Philippines, passed away last April 11, 2020.
“Despite of that, tuloy-tuloy pa din po tayo nagtatrabaho concentrating to produce more food para hindi maubusan ng pagkain ang mga kababayan natin at marami din tayong tinulungan na mga mahihirap para hindi magutom at nagtayo din tayo ng mga laboratory – PCR testing laboratory para matulungan mga kababayan natin at mga empleyado natin,” he added.
Ang shared that they continue to push for its infrastructure projects including the Skyway Stage 3 which it recently opened. (ES)
