As far as rags-to-riches stories go, John Gokongwei’s is a perfect specimen. Starting out selling soap on a bike, the name Gokongwei, at that time, never even rang a bell. Now, the partriarch, philantropist, and entrepreneurial pioneer holds the reigns as chairman emeritus and founder of JG Summit Holdings – a conglomerate that spreads across multiple industries from beverages, retail and real estate, malls and media, to airlines and phone lines. And he probably never has to ring a bell.
