Dear mindful reader,
How is everyone? I hope you’ve all done your share of blessing someone this past week. But most importantly, I truly wish all of you good health, abundance, and peace of mind.
For today’s narrative, allow me to share the story of the most recent accolade bestowed by one of the most prominent international award-giving bodies known as the World Business Outlook Awards, to a place that has been my home for almost 2 decades. A tropical Shangrila where I’ve had my fair share of happiness, pride, bitterness and pain, but has definitely molded me to the much more confident and forthright person I am today – Subic Bay.
Just last November 2, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) was awarded the “Most Sustainable Investment Hub in the Philippines 2024 during the World Business Outlook Awards 2024 at the Marriott Marquis Queens Park in Bangkok, Thailand.
Organized by the World Business Outlook magazine, the award-giving body fetes global brand companies that excel in Global Banking, Finance, Real Estate, Healthcare, Education, Technology, Mining, and other business sectors worldwide.
SBMA Chairman and Administrator Eduardo Jose L. Aliño received the prestigious award, along with Director Teodoro Del Rosario, Business and Investment Group for Leisure Manager Josephine Ivy Ferrer and General Business and Investment Officer-in-Charge Cleofe Espinelli from His Excellency Artur Dmochowski, Ambassador of Poland to the Kingdom of Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar.
According the organizers, the World Business Outlook Awards is a prestigious event that recognizes industry excellence, exceptional leadership, outstanding success strategies, and global presence.
They also disclosed that their expert jury panel was established to ensure that only the top performers from each sector will receive the top honours of the year and that they have a very discrete and rigorous methodology for each of our award categories. The Global Recognition that winners receive are a testament of the organizers’ dedication towards promoting industry champions.
Chairman Aliño expressed his gratitude to the World Business Outlook for recognizing the SBMA for its thrust in developing the Subic Bay Freeport Zone a sustainable investment hub in the world.
“It is with profound honor that we accept this distinct accolade from the World Business Outlook award-giving body for being the Most Sustainable Investment Hub in the Philippines for the Subic Bay Freeport Zone,” he said.
The SBMA chief adds, “This is not only a celebration of our achievements but also a testament to the unwavering commitment of our community, stakeholders, and partners who share our vision for a sustainable future.”
Chairman Aliño also urged the event attendees to, “engage in innovative practices, promote green technologies, and ensure that our commitment to sustainability remains at the forefront of everything we do.”
“Together, we will continue to pave the way for responsible investment practices, ensuring that we leave a thriving planet for future generations,” he said.
Ambassador Dmochowski and India-Thai Chamber of Commerce in Bangkok President Sushil Kumar Dhanuka were the guests of honor during the ceremony. The event also served as a bridge to other companies, as some of the most innovative business minds and influential people were also present during the event.
The World Business Outlook cited that their main motive is to “Reward the Ultimate in Business Excellence” from across the world. “We hope you take complete benefit of this networking opportunity at World Business Outlook 2024 and turn this evening into a memorable event for your company and your team.”
Other Philippine awardees were ABS-CBN Corporation, Ayala Property Management Corporation, Cebu Pacific Air, Centro Escolar University, Megaworld Corporation, Nickel Asia Corporation, San Miguel Global Power Corporation, and among other Filipino brand names.

Take care. Be kind.
