PSE chief takes rally outside the exchange

Ramon Monzon, the president and chief executive officer of the Philippine Stock Exchange Inc. (PSE) since 2017, brought the rally outside the local bourse when he joined the “Trillion Peso March,” igniting hopes that more business leaders will take a public stand against corruption.

Monzon, who enjoys walking every day as well as visiting local wet markets and doing groceries on weekends, embarked on a different path last Sunday.

He joined other PSE and Philippine Dealing System Holdings Corp. officers and staff toward the EDSA Shrine.

There, he led the stock market contingent during the protest actions where thousands gathered to demand accountability and punishment for those engaged in anomalous deals in the government and in the private sector, especially those who have pocketed trillions in public funds meant for flood control and infrastructure projects.
