“These values represent our moral compass which points us to success itself. We have held on to these values steadfastly, demonstrating over three generations that it is possible to be successful by always choosing and doing what is right,” said Dennis Tan, General Manager of HTMI.

“These pervade everything: the way we conduct trade and business, the way we treat all people, how we contribute to the community and how we help in nation-building,” Tan added.

"But malasakit begins at home. Our employees have stayed with us for decades, rising through the ranks as we ensure that as we grow, no one is left behind," Tan said.

Malasakit is a uniquely Filipino term encompassing compassion, consideration, care and concern for the community.
