MANILA, Philippines - The Ortigas family foiled the SM Group's attempt to buy a 34% stake in its property firm, BusinessWorld reported on Friday.

BusinessWorld quoted company director Jaime M. Ortigas as saying the Ortigas group matched SM Group's offer to buy Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corp.'s (HSBC) 34% stake in the property firm for P11 billion.

"The Ortigas Group exercised its right of first refusal as it bid for the shares held by HSBC….OCLP Holdings (Ortigas & Co. Limited Partnership Holdings, Inc.) was able to match the earlier offer of the SM Group," Ortigas said.

"HSBC was selling something worth like P11 billion for the entire 34% stake and the deal pushed through. Today (Thursday) was the deadline for the purchase payments," he said.

On Friday morning, the Sy-led SM Investments confirmed the news report.

"We were informed that the existing stockholders of Ortigas Holdings, Inc. (OHI), which consist mainly of the Ortigas Family, exercised their right of first refusal on OHI shares owned by Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation," SM Investments said, in a disclosure to the stock exchange.

The Ortigas group has vast properties in Mandaluyong, San Juan and Quezon City. It owns the 16-hectare Greenhills shopping center, where V-Mall houses 5 SM franchises namely Toy Kingdom chain, SM Appliance Center, Our Home, Watsons, and Ace Hardware.

Ortigases block Sys' acquisition bid; partner with Zobels

MANILA, Philippines - The SM Group, led by the Philippines richest man Henry Sy, was blocked from its attempt to acquire a 34% stake in one of the oldest landlords of Manila, Ortigas & Co Limited Partnership Holdings Inc (OHI).

Closing the deal would have given Sy's SM Group a major share in the Ortigas family's crown jewel, the Greenhills shopping center, and their vast properties spanning Mandaluyong, San Juan and Quezon City.

Thanks to the right of first refusal, the Ortigas family was able to retain control of their property holding firm and buy the shares held by Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp.’s (HSBC).

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Friday, June 29, SM Investments Corp said "We were informed that the existing stockholders of Ortigas Holdings Inc, which consist mainly of the Ortigas family, exercised their right of first refusal on OHI shares owned by Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corp."

Company Director Jaime M. Ortigas told BusinessWorld, HSBC sold its entire 34% stake for "something worth like P11 billion."

Partnering with Zobels instead

Despite the SM Group's keen interest to get into Mandaluyong's central business district for the past few years, the Ortigas family opted to parner with Ayala Land Inc for development of their Ortigas properties.

The same day SM informed the PSE of its failed bid, rival developer Ayala Land of the Zobel family announced its own strategic alliance with the Ortigases to develop key growth centers in Metro Manila.

Analysts had said if SM sealed the deal it would have been a "game-changer" that would have swelled their land bank to the size of Ayala Land's.

Now, Ayala Land is the Ortigases' group of choice and has agreed to enter the partnership at the latter's invitation. ALI will make an initial investment of P15 billion to help develop residential, office, retail and hotel components in various properties owned by the Ortigas group.

According to OHI's website, the growing urban center of Mandaluyong was known as Hacienda de Mandaloyon when it was acquired by the Ortigases in the mid 1900s. The vast property was then a "virtual wasteland" but has since transformed into skyline of highrises with growing commercial and industrial businesses.

For his part, Ayala Land CEO and President Antonino T. Aquino said in a statement, “We are privileged to be a part of this strategic alliance. We welcome the opportunity to participate in the development of these key areas in Metro Manila.”

“Many of our successful developments such as the Ayala Alabang, Cebu Park District, Bonifacio Global City, Trinoma, Nuvali, Abreeza Davao, and Centrio Cagayan de Oro were built on strong partnerships with various groups,” he added.

Ayala Land said it will contribute its expertise in building large scale developments and that the strategic alliance will be able to benefit from synergies with ALI's other integrated mixed-use communities in key business districts such as Makati, Bonifacio Global City, and Quezon City.

goodbye Laurel Mansion

A Last Look at Jose P. Laurel’s Mansion in Mandaluyong City

Built in 1957 by President Jose P. Laurel, Villa Pacencia presently serves as the campaign headquarters of Senator Manny Villar. The house was partly restored and still retains a certain grace and elegance. (Photo by NOEL B. PABALETE)

MANILA, Philippines — There are some places that have remained memorable for us for some reason or another. One is the old Vallejo Hotel in Baguio which we always connect with summer vacations, our fiestas at the plaza of Lucena City, Quezon and a certain strip along Shaw Boulevard that begins at Wack-Wack and ends at Cherry Grocery in Mandaluyong City.

This area of Shaw appealed to us because it was in a way a small thriving community. Suddenly, however, it has become the address of call centers, with talk rife of our beloved Cherry Grocery closing to give way to a Pure Gold branch. Doy and Celia Laurel’s home so far is the latest to go. The Jose P. Laurel property beside it is presently being utilized as Senator Manny Villar’s campaign headquarters but it will very soon be the site of a condominium complex.
