MANILA, Philippines – Lopez Holdings Inc., formerly Benpres Holdings Corp., adopted a new logo connoting its vision to be “a world-class conglomerate committed to investments that improve the lives of Filipinos.” The publicly listed holding company continues the Lopez Group’s 82-year-old tradition of nation-building.
The logo shows two wedge graphics as overlapping structures akin to building the nation. The overlap of the two graphics creates a diamond pattern representing a rich history and collective memory on which to anchor stability and sustain future growth. Both wedge go upward and sideways to represent expansion and a forward-looking approach.
The color blue is associated with depth, confidence and truth, symbolizing the Lopez values of a pioneering entrepreneurial spirit, business excellence, nationalism, social justice and integrity. Green, the color of nature and harmony, represents the Lopez values of unity and concern for employee welfare and wellness. The practice of the Lopez values throughout generations is meant to create companies that are built to last.
The major investments of Lopez Holdings are in media and communications through ABS-CBN Corp. (ABS-CBN) and in sustainable energy development, infrastructure, property development and green manufacturing through First Philippine Holdings Corp. (FPHC). ABS-CBN is the country’s largest multimedia content provider and drives synergies with affiliate Skycable Corp. and sister company Bayan Telecommunications Inc.
FPHC, a minority shareholders in Meralco, is the parent company of leading clean and renewable energy advocate First Gen Corp., which in turn controls geothermal energy pioneer Energy Development Corp. FPHC also owns construction firm First Balfour Inc.; pipeline operator First Philippine Industrial Corp.; Rockwell Land Corp.; First Philippine Industrial Park; and First Philec Corp., parent company of solar wafer slicer First Philec Solar Corp., flexible printed circuit maker First Sumiden Circuits Inc., and distribution transformers manufacturer Philippine Electric Corp., among others.
