MVP's visionary leadership: Revolutionizing healthcare through Metro Pacific Health

For a vision to be realized, it takes heart, ambition, and action.

Manny V. Pangilinan has proven to be capable of these many times throughout his career. A respected business magnate and sports advocate, he has led various companies throughout their journeys towards greater good, whether it’s to provide top-notch internet access for all socioeconomic classes or opportunities for Filipino athletes to maximize their potential and succeed at what they love.

As he celebrates his 77th birthday today, we take a moment to reflect on yet another vision he continues to work hard for to this day—quality healthcare for all. With health as a universal priority, MVP established a private hospital group 15 years ago, Metro Pacific Hospital Holdings Inc., as part of the ever-growing MVP Group of Companies.

Rebranded as Metro Pacific Health (MPH) last October, it now stands as the largest private hospital group in the Philippines, encompassing 21 reputable hospitals like Makati Medical Center, Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Asian Hospital and Medical Center, Riverside Medical Center, and Davao Doctors Hospital, as well as 25 outpatient care centers, six cancer care centers, two allied health colleges, and a centralized laboratory.

The “Metro Pacific” in the hospital group’s name reflects pride in being affiliated with one of Asia’s largest and most esteemed investment groups, while the word “Health” affirms its journey to integrate hospital care with virtual, mobile, and home care. With a thrust to make healthcare more affordable and accessible in the Philippines, each MPH facility combines world-class medical excellence with the hospitality and compassion for which Filipinos are known all around the globe.

Its services are anchored on these foundations:

• Heart. As part of its promise to become “The Heart of Filipino Healthcare,” MPH offers high-quality, compassionate, and patient-centric care. MPH prides itself in curing with expertise and caring with kindness and compassion, which is evident across all the hospitals in the group.
• Integration and connectedness. MPH delivers integrated healthcare services that are sustainable, accessible, and affordable—from hospital care to virtual, mobile, and home care. It also fosters holistically healthy lifestyles through wellness-oriented programs and projects.
• Excellence, innovation, and trust. MPH’s commitment to medical excellence has led to upgrades in medical equipment, cutting-edge technologies, and clinical services, making it one of the most innovative and trusted healthcare providers in Asia.
• Nation-building. MPH helps Filipinos stay healthy. It currently has over 9,000 expert doctors and nearly 17,000 skilled nurses, whose efficiency and selfless service especially during the pandemic are a testament to Filipino camaraderie and resilience.

Metro Pacific Health is one of the products of MVP’s future-forward and empathetic entrepreneurship, with a strategic focus on the priority sector of healthcare. MPH continues to seek opportunities to make quality healthcare more accessible as it consolidates its leadership in the healthcare industry, inspired by the vision of the one and only Manny V. Pangilinan.

On his 77th birthday, the entire team of healthcare workers and executives across Metro Pacific Health wishes him an amazing day and many more years of happiness and good health, the same blessings he aspires for the entire nation.
