The Manila Business College Foundation was a lifelong dream of Dr. Thomas C.K Chua, and now came to a reality. An educator and philanthropist, Dr. Chua envisioned a nation of entrepreneurs and suppliers, as compared to the usual view of Filipinos being merely customers and consumers. The founder of the college is a holder of a Ph.D. degree in Business Management who came to the Philippines in 1970 to set up several business establishments with the purpose of helping develop the Philippine economy.
