A Conglomerate as Agent of Change

A seed of social involvement was planted in the early 1800s. It was sown and nourished in a spirit of meaningful giving.

At a time when Manila was little more than a large town and the rest of the country was a rural landscape, Margarita Roxas de Ayala already saw the need for quality education, particularly for girls. The wife of Antonio de Ayala and daughter of Domingo Roxas – the two men who founded Destileria y Licoreria de Ayala y Compania, the precursor of Ayala Corporation – invited Spanish nuns to come to Manila and set up a school for girls. On land and with startup funds the Ayala family donated, a school was established that still operates today as La Concordia College.
