A tycoon as big as Pangilinan may find each minute of his day assigned to something, whether it’s closing a merger, drawing up a new product or service, or facing a crisis. And yet, here he is, clocking in an hour or two each week to move paintings around his office.
In the room where I was about to interview MVP, paintings of mother and child lined up on the left side of the wall from the door. The first one to catch my attention was a charcoal piece of a mother, in a floral cloak, piggybacking her sleeping child. On the farthest end of the wall hung a sketch of a mother in traditional baro’t saya, piercing a stare at the viewer, as her child appears to be resting by her chest.
I jumped the gun immediately, amused by his seeming obsession over arranging art pieces. A tycoon as big as Pangilinan may find each minute of his day assigned to something, whether it’s closing a merger, drawing up a new product or service, or facing a crisis. And yet, here he is, clocking in an hour or two each week to move paintings around his office.
I inquired who his preferred artists were, and he quickly named the masters, including Amorsolo, Buenaventura, Hidalgo and Luna. Let me skip Meralco for this because in my six-year stint so far in business journalism, I have yet to cover energy. Take the case of PLDT, for instance, which is in the business of connectivity. Its core may be telephone, but nowadays PLDT specializes in broadband and wireless services.
Internally, MVP overhauled the system the way that PLDT does transactions, tightening its safeguards on purchase orders to avert a repeat of that particular incident. Complacency is dangerous. It is in this view perhaps that Pangilinan always reinvents his art placements and business strategy.
