JAIME ZOBEL DE AYALA

WHY HIM? Businessman, photographer and philanthropist Ayala has spent his long career—he’s now in his 80s—expanding the Ayala Foundation, which is best known for preserving and promoting Filipino culture through the Ayala Museum and the Filipinas Heritage Library. THE NEXT GENERATION Ayala has passed the reins of the foundation to his sons, Jaime Augusto and Fernando Zobel de Ayala, who are continuing the organisation’s cultural work while also launching educational, youth development and sustainability programmes.
