Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) this year.
Those
who made the official list of candidates were Ismael
Cruz, Eduardo Francisco, Ramon C. Garcia Jr., Eddie
Gobing, Joseph Y. Roxas, Alejandro Yu, David Chua,
Vivian Yuchengco, Ramon T. Garcia, and Eusebio Tanco.
Former
PSE chairman Robert Coyuito Jr., a constant fixture in
the board, was not nominated in this year’s election.
For the
nonbroker category, the nominees were Roberto Atendido,
PLDT senior vice president Anabelle Chua, San Miguel
Corp. vice president Amor Iliscupidez, GSIS executive
vice president Omelita Tiangco, Jose Luis Javier,
Cornelio Peralta and Jose Vitug.
An
open-seat category is being introduced this year,
according to nomination and election committee chairman
Shirley Bangayan.
In this
category, both the broker and nonbroker can be
nominated. Only broker William Ang was nominated under
the said category. This year, the PSE board will be
composed of six brokers, eight nonbrokers and one
representing the open-seat category. The composition
will be known on May 17, which is the annual
stockholders’ meeting of the bourse. |
