A milestone in BPI’s legacy The launch of BPI Wealth Singapore gathered distinguished guests from the Philippines and Singapore, including His Excellency Medardo Macaraig, Ambassador of the Philippines to Singapore, and Phua Wee Ling, executive director at the Monetary Authority of Singapore. They were joined by Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, chairman of BPI; Lim Chow Kiat, chairman of the Wealth Management Institute; Jose Teodoro “TG” Limcaoco, president and CEO of BPI; Maria Theresa D. Marcial, deputy chairman of BPI Wealth Singapore and president and CEO of BPI Wealth; Janet Guat Har Ang, board director; and Christmas Sevilla, CEO of BPI Wealth Singapore.
