CEOs, champagne and celebrations
Today we’re celebrating the big bosses — the chief executive officers of brands that have innovated, adapted and made an impact on society. And they show balance in that they don’t just go all out on their hustle — they can go all out on celebrations, too. Work-life, as they say!
The Business Manual CEO Awards starts 2025 strong with this event. The country’s premier digital business magazine follows the success of its inaugural awards ceremony last year, taking it further with “Honoring Industry Disruptors” as its theme.
At Shangri-La The Fort, we were welcomed into a buzzing ballroom. Don’t think I miss a detail even when I’m chatting away or mid-photo op — I managed to spot people I rarely see, like leading CEOs who were proudly in attendance.
As we settled down for a five-course dinner fit for royalty, the program commenced. TBM shared their extensive evaluation process, which set the stage and highlighted the impact of the 21 honorees! That’s not to say the rest didn’t deserve to be recognized, of course!
Everyone has been changing the game in the country in their own way. Aside from the CEO honorees, TBM also honored three organizations with the Enterprise Catalyst Award for their exceptional commitment in supporting and empowering Filipino entrepreneurs. Bravo to everyone!
I raise my glass again to The Business Manual for a flawless event. I don’t doubt the success of your third year, and for more CEO Awards to come. You know how to send my invite. I’ll be there, dressed like a boss.
