AS a Filipino delegate to the Hong Kong Academy for Wealth Legacy (HKAWL) Summit for family offices, I was honored to participate in a series of programs demonstrating Hong Kong's role as Asia's premier family office and philanthropy hub. After spending considerable time in Hong Kong, the global headquarters for thousands of single-family offices, I believe it is imperative for the Philippines to actively lean in with this growing community of asset owners and inheritors.
