Marcia Gokongwei

General Manager, Nissin Universal Robina and Hunt’s Universal Robina

My childhood dream was to find Prince Charming and live happily ever after. My dream now is to live happily ever after, then meet Prince Charming. For me, success means being the best in whatever career you’ve chosen. My business icon is my father, John Gokongwei, of course. The best thing my mom (Elizabeth Yu-Gokongwei) and dad taught me is no work, no pay. The best part of my job is I get to eat Yakisoba, Cup Noodles and Hunt’s Pork and Beans every day, for free. Legacy to me is passing on a good name to your children. In 30 years, I’d like the Philippines to evolve into a country that gives every Filipino child a quality education so that he or she may have the opportunity to elevate the lives of his or her family.
