Jacob Paolo Ang, the youngest son of San Miguel Corporation (SMC) President and CEO Ramon S. Ang, has taken on a larger role within the conglomerate’s corporate empire after being elected to the board of directors of Ginebra San Miguel Inc. (GSMI).
According to a disclosure filed with the Philippine Stock Exchange (SMC), Ang will fill the board vacancy left by the passing of Leo Alvez, effective November 4.
