It was a fantastic and magical two years. When we launched the magazine at Grand Hyatt last time, the objective was to promote the Philippines as the premier business hub in Asia from the stories of real leaders from different industries. Since the Filipinos are one of the biggest resources that we are proud of. The resiliency, tenacity, and grit are the characteristics and foundation to be successful in any field.

Our first two covers; Frontrow leaders— Sam Verzosa and RS Francisco are the epitome of leadership followed by the President of AstraZeneca and Bounty Agro Ventures. Enjoyed also the pictorial of Comelec Chairman George Erwin Mojica Garcia and BIR Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr. For this issue, we are proud to have Governor Dodo Mandanas of Batangas and the one and only Captain of her industry, Miss Glenda Dela Cruz.

We are in more branches of National Bookstores now and grateful to Philippine Airlines for the displays in the lounges for the indulgence of their frequent fliers. Our Rising Tigers Family became bigger with the addition of more partners.

We are still consistent and look like we are paving the way for others. We were flattered actually and will continue to innovate and surprise everyone for the years to come.
