2010
August 2010 First Sumiden Circuits Inc. (FSCI): Harvesting the fruits of the Balanced Scorecard AS they say on Facebook, “it’s complicated”—sort of—but did you know that the laptop or smartphone you use to access your favorite social networking site or even read Lopezlink.ph may just have a bit of the Lopez Group in it?
July 2010 Brave new Sky WHEN her 1,000-peso “lifetime” cable connection courtesy of her building’s handyman went kaput, Gina (not her real name), simply went online for her entertainment and news updates. But she says she still misses watching the latest reality shows on a TV set, which is why she’s considering getting cable TV again—the legal way.

June 2010 A new reality for ABSCBN's 'army for change' FOR the May 10, 2010 general elections, some 17,000 positions were at stake, including the presidency, the vice presidency, and 12 senatorial seats. It was the country’s first presidential elections since 2004 when outgoing President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo prevailed over the late Fernando Poe Jr. with a slim margin of a little over one million votes.

May 2010 Undaunted we stand WHAT do you get when you distill the essence, the life of a man—a patriarch and pillar of business, historian and scholar—into one and a half hours of song and dance numbers by turns poignant, touching and rousing? 
April 2010 OML on turning 80 WHEN Lopez Group chair Oscar Moreno Lopez turns 80 years old this April, the first thing he wants to do is climb another mountain, this time Mt. Kinabalu in Borneo. At 14,000 feet, it will surpass the highest mountains he has climbed in the Philippines, Mt. Pulag and Mt. Apo, both approximately 10,000 feet each. He recently reached the highest peak in the Visayas, Mt. Kanlaon. 
March 2010 A Golden Celebration At 50, the Lopez Memorial Museum and Library has become an institution in the truest and best sense of the word—dignified and authoritative. Yet, like a cool aunt or uncle, it is also unself-conscious enough to throw off the trappings and take on a newer, hipper era, as was evident in the exhibit cum book launch that formally kicked off its golden year at the Rockwell Tent on Feb. 18.
February 2010 Adtel: Leading the charge into solar energy in the Philippines A pastor said he was able to read the bible at home even after sundown. A woman cried tears of joy. A man, presented with the prospect of charging his cellphone  without having to trek to the town center, eagerly whipped out his unit—an iPhone. Different  folks, different priorities and needs, but all of them expressed gratitude for having electricity in their homes for the first time.

October 2009 Typhoon spurs bayanihan (2.57MB) WHEN Jane woke up on the morning of September 26, she thought it was just another rainy Saturday, like most weekends in the past month or so had been.

way of unwinding from a long, crazy week at work.

September 2009 Griffin takes the world (2425 kb) Lopez Group companies are known for being leaders in their field.
