The OR Department of San Miguel Corporation was moved from the Corporate Technology Group to Corporate Information and Technology Management (CITM). Past ORSP President Manuel Agustin takes over the leadership of the group from Agnes Grace Perez, current Board Director.

Appointed VP last January 1, 2010, Manuel M. Agustin heads CITM, composed of: Operations Research (OR), Corporate Information Management (CIM), and Corporate Technology Management (CTM). Joining SMC in 1979, Manny was President of the ORSP from 1992-1994.

The CIM oversees the IT Managers of all SMC business units, OR provides quantitative decision-making support to management and CTM audits the quality assurance, safety and sanitation, as well as the environmental activities of all SMC facilities.

Previously, current ORSP Board Director Agnes Perez headed the OR Department. Effective January 1, 2010, she was appointed Executive Assistant to the Senior VP and General Manager of Petron. Though not limited to OR applications in her current role, she relies a lot on her OR training to tackle the issues that cross her desk every day.

The new challenges presented by the new appointments of Manny and Agnes speak well of how the OR discipline equips people to perform various roles. ORSP congratulates them


Ms. Agnes Grace Perez
