ATENEO de Manila University and businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan—arguably the school’s second most prominent living alumnus after President Aquino—finally patched things up last month. Critical differences were apparently set aside for the good of the school’s student body (or, more specifically, the basketball team) that benefit from MVP’s financial support.
The severing of ties between the Manuel V. Pangilinan group and his alma mater Ateneo de Manila University continues, following a very public falling-out due to “irreconcilable differences” on key issues such as mining.
After the race to the skies and the continuing race on toll roads, the next tug-of-war between frenemies Manuel V. Pangilinan and Ramon S. Ang is the battle for the “heart” (and mind) of the people. After all, well-placed industry sources said that when RSA talked about San Miguel Corp. “seriously considering” to enter the broadcasting business, he really meant GMA Network, not ABS-CBN, not Solar TV as others theorize.
