The story of the Lopez family is an unending one, as long as

there are Lopezes that walk the face of the earth.”

“Knowing our roots assures survival amid today’s swift changes. On the
conviction that knowing your family roots provides the best defense
against being carried away by the winds of change, I studied
the history of our family, of the Lopez family.

— OSCAR M. LOPEZ
 should a man feel when
he celebrates his 80th birthday? Should he feel a sense
of accomplishment? Should he feel joy as at reaching
a journey’s end? Should he feel foreboding for
what comes next had only been described as eternity
and no one has come back to tell us what that is all
about.
Indeed, being 80 years in this world is significant
in the life of any man. The Bible tells us in Psalm
90:10 how we should view our transient stay in this
world: “The length of our days is seventy years, or
eighty, if we have the strength.”
The Bible seems to be saying that genetics and
the miracles of modern medicine aside, the Lord has
given us a deadline of 80 years to do the work He
set us out to do in this world. Speaking for myself, I
am quite sure the Lord isn’t quite done with me yet.
He has blessed me with pretty good health, a mind
that functions as well as anyone half my age. I still
have the urge to slug it out with the best of them in
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
the world of business. What’s more, I am thinking
of becoming even more active in the affairs of this
country… in how we are governed and in how issues
of grave consequence to us are addressed. I feel, and
with good justification, that I am built to last.
So is the Lopez Group built to last? That is precisely
the theme of “Undaunted,” the story of how my father
built the Lopez Group and by imparting his undying
values to us, his children, made sure that the Group will
live from generation to generation.
What are these values? You will find in this stage
presentation the values that keep us strong. For starters,
we believe that our primary reason for being is to serve
the Filipino people. Thus, not only are we committed to
do no evil as Google’s stated objective puts it. We shall
always do business in a manner that will result not just in
the long-term mutual benefit of our businesses, but more
importantly of the various publics and communities that
we serve.
In more specific terms, we are guided by the
following distinct Lopez Values—a pioneering
entrepreneurial spirit, business excellence,
nationalism, team work, strong work ethic, integrity,
social justice, concern for employee welfare, and
wellness. We know from generations of experience
that it is by living according to these values that a
company will be built to last.
We earlier intended to stage this presentation last
year on the occasion of the 80th year of the Lopez
Group’s founding by my father, Eugenio Lopez Sr.,
and his brother, Fernando Lopez. But the time was
not right given the many contentious issues we had
to clear before we can truly celebrate. Now, it was
thought that because those issues are behind us and I
am the one now celebrating my 80th year, this stage
presentation would be a unique celebration that
brings our relatively youthful employee force in tune
with the company’s roots.
So, sit back and enjoy the show. On this my 80th
year and the coming 82nd year of the Lopez Group,
the best is yet to come.
 OSCAR Moreno Lopez (b. April 19, 1930), fondly
known as “OML,” is the second of the five offspring
of Eugenio Hofileña Lopez Sr. of Jaro, Iloilo and Pacita
Moreno of Tondo, Manila. He is married to the former
Connie Rufino, with whom he has eight children; the
couple has 27 grandchildren and recently welcomed
their first great-grandchild.

WHO IS OSCAR M. LOPEZ?

OML is the third and current chairman of the Lopez
Group, presiding over 120 companies and foundations
including First Philippine Holdings Corp., Benpres
Holdings Corp., ABS-CBN, First Gen, First Gas,
Rockwell Land, Energy Development Corp. and
SkyCable, among others.
The young OML discovered books and reading
early, being a sickly child who was forced to stay indoors
most of the time. When he was seven, the family moved
to Baguio, whose cool weather helped soothe the boy’s
skin allergies. It was in this northern city that World
War II caught up with the family in April 1945, forcing
them to hike down the mountains for three days to
avoid the clashes.
A year later, OML entered Bellarmine College
Preparatory, an exclusive high school run by the Jesuits
and California’s oldest secondary school; after finishing
high school there, he enrolled in Harvard University.
In 1951, he became the first Filipino to graduate
from Harvard with an honors AB degree. After a year’s
sabbatical in Spain, he returned to earn his master’s in
public administration from the Littauer School of Public
Administration (now the John F. Kennedy School of
Government).
While in Spain, OML had toyed with the idea of
entering the priesthood. His father discouraged him,
vowing that he would “never go to mass” again if he
“lost” his son to the church.

2 U N D AU N T E D
 As 1956 drew to a close, OML embarked on
yet another important journey: he married his
sweetheart Consuelo (Connie) Baltazar Rufino in
Manila. They returned to Harvard at the beginning
of the new year, staying there for another three and
a half years while OML completed his master’s
degree. In all, he spent a total of 11 years in the
Massachusetts institution.
Back in the Philippines in 1960, 30-year-old
OML formally joined the ranks of the employed.
His first assignment: to run the family-owned
daily newspaper, The Manila Chronicle, as its
publisher. One of his enduring legacies during
his six-year stint there was the formation of the
Philippine Press Institute (PPI) together with
fellow publishers Chino Roces and Hans Menzi.
In the next decade, he headed the economic
research department of Meralco Securities Corp.
(MSC, 1965) and Philippine Electric Corp.
(Philec, 1970), vital assignments that saw him
spearheading the companies’ expansion into new
businesses and opening new plants.
By his mid-30s, “the little brother
overshadowed” had distinguished himself in the
field of business, with a string of accomplishments
to his name.
“I was coming into my own; I felt that I was
really accomplishing something as head of a
department, then president of Philec. My father
gave me the leeway. That was his way of telling
me: ‘Now you can do what you want.’”
With the declaration of martial law in 1972,
the Lopezes’ assets were systematically pillaged
by the administration, while family members—
including the patriarch, Eugenio Sr.—were forced
into exile; Eugenio Jr. (Geny), the eldest Lopez
son who was then president of ABS-CBN, was
arrested and jailed for five years before escaping
and seeking refuge in the US.
Through this period, OML continued working
in the family companies that had not been
sequestered by Pres. Marcos and his cronies. In
1975, his father died in San Francisco, California.
His sons had not been permitted to visit him as he
lay dying, an act that angered OML, then 45, and
which he described as “something [he’ll] always
remember.”
He found strength in his father’s encouragement
amidst the uncertainty of the martial law years:
“These things will pass. Be brave.”
OML began dedicating his time to his research
on the Lopez family history, seeking to discover the
clan’s “true nature and character, and to use these
as his guide for the future.” In 1982, the product
of his close work over four years—the first of four
volumes—paid tribute to a long line of Lopez
visionaries, entrepreneurs and philanthropists—
especially Eugenio Sr. himself.
Things turned around in February 1986 with
the ouster of Pres. Marcos via the “People Power”
bloodless revolution. One by one, Lopez family
U N D AU N T E D 3

members as well as loyal employees started
making their way back from exile or hibernation
and starting the empire’s rebuilding process.
Geny gathered his people over at ABS-CBN,
Manuel (Manolo) rejoined Meralco, while OML
took on the job of chief executive officer of
FPHC. By then, the former MSC was barely a
shell, saddled with more than P2 billion in debts
and liabilities.
OML recalled that an FPHC executive had
asked him: “Oscar, why would you want anything
to do with this big headache?” “Yes, sometimes I
wonder myself,” he had answered.
However, in only four years, OML was able to
steer the company back into the black and it posts
its first profit since 1983. “Back in April 1986, I
didn’t think it would last 20 years,” said OML.
With Geny’s demise in 1999, OML took
over the chairmanship of the Lopez Group. He
“brought in more rigor, new systems and more
teamwork to the operations of the Group” as it
prepared to step into the new millennium.
With OML at the helm, the Lopez Group
enhanced its presence in its old markets and
pushed further into new horizons: power
generation, real estate, tollroads, cable TV and
telecommunications. At the same time, corporate
social responsibility, in keeping with the belief
that its reason for being is “to serve the Filipino
people,” remains a vital cog of the Lopez DNA
through seven different foundations.
OML’s stewardship of the Lopez empire—his
father’s and ancestors’ legacy—and his unwavering
desire for the Lopezes to “play a part in the
economic growth of the country,” has earned
him accolades from many an organization in the
Philippines and around the world.
He had been cited as one of the top 20 CEOs in
Asia in 2004 by the Asian Business Leader Awards
(ABLA)—one of only two Filipinos included on
the list—and recognized by Forbes magazine as a
“Hero of Philanthropy” in Asia in 2007.

Management Man of the Year Award from the
Management Association of the Philippines
(MAP) in 2001; The Outstanding Filipino
Award (TOFIL) for business from the Insular

A MUSICALE
In Celebration of the
80th Birthday of Oscar M. Lopez
SYNOPSIS
by George de Jesus III
May 2009. The musicale begins as Oscar Lopez
prepares to give a speech at the First Philippine Holdings
Corporation’s 47th annual stockholders’ meeting. He
muses about the painful decision of giving up something
in order to survive and fight another day.
The lights dim and the OVERTURE begins to play as
a graphic animation of the Lopez family tree is projected
on the stage backdrop. We zoom in on the name of
Eugenio H. Lopez, 1901-1975.
ACT 1.
It is 1975, the funeral of Eñing Lopez.
We see Geny Lopez facing the people
attending the funeral. He sings a eulogy (Song 1:
“The Spirit That Moves Us”). He talks about his
father’s legacy, how his father taught them that
“material wealth should never enslave a man, but
that a man should always be the master of material
wealth and use it to serve his fellow men.”
His brother Oscar joins in the song,
mentioning how the “story of the Lopez family
is an unending one, as long as there are Lopezes
that walk the face of the earth.” Eñing’s wife
Nitang, together with their sons Robby and
6 U N D AU N T E D
Manolo, continue the song and they sing about
the undaunted spirit that moves them, about
their father and their family’s heritage of family
unity, honor, integrity, loyalty, entrepreneurship,
a strong work ethic, resiliency and commitment
to the development of the nation.
An image of Eñing projected onstage comes to
life and continues the song telling Oscar to not be
cowed by fear, to be undaunted in the seemingly
insurmountable darkness. He sings the lesson and
legacy he believes in: that “the sacrifice of material
things is easier to take than the sacrifice of the
spirit.”
On the backdrop, a projection: a page is
turned and the year 1976 is seen. The lights zero
in on Oscar M. Lopez.
He tells us of the decision to write the history
of the Lopez family. We then recount the history
of the Lopez family that began with Basilio and
Maria Sabina (Song 2: “With the Turning of Time”).
Oscar will tell the story and we see through the
scene how the Lopez family came about.
We then go back to 1976 and see Oscar
figuring out the reasons for writing and looking
back at the history of the Lopez family (Song 3:
“Threading the Past With The Future”). Through
the song, we see Nitang and her children coping
with the death of Eñing. Oscar continues telling
the story of the Lopez family and the tale resumes
in 1928.
We see the two brothers, Eñing and Nanding,
talking about putting up E&F Lopez Inc. They
sing about their dreams for the future (Song 4:
“We Share a Dream”). The song then transforms
into a production number that will show the
different ventures of the two brothers.
We then see Eñing and Nitang with their young
sons Geny and Oscar in Baguio. It is 1941. Eñing
and Nitang tell their sons that they will meet in
Iloilo. Onscreen, we see the date December 1941.
Geny and Oscar watch as Japanese planes bomb
Camp John Hay.
A production number about World War II
commences (Song 5: “Burning”). Through the
number, we see Oscar and Geny grow up and
how the war affected the brothers Eñing and
Nanding.
The war ends and we see Eñing and Nanding
surveying the aftermath of the war. Eñing decides
to make Manila the base of his business and
Nanding goes into politics (Song 6: “Two Paths
Intertwined”). They sing about what they plan to
do after the war, agreeing to contribute in their
own ways in the rebuilding of the nation.
We then see Eñing’s acquisition of The Manila
Chronicle and Nanding becoming Vice President.
Juxtaposed with the scenes of the brothers
Eñing and Nanding will be Oscar and Geny as
they study abroad. The scene ends as we see the
business expansions of the Lopez Group.
We go back to 2009 and we see Oscar
reminiscing about the 1982 Lopez family reunion
where the book he wrote about the Lopez family
was launched. Nitang and Connie assure Oscar
that he did a good job in writing the history of
their family (Song 7: “Love, History, Family”).
Oscar is then left alone with Connie and they
reminisce about how they got married (Song 8:
“It Must Be You”).
The song segues to a production number
(Song 9: “Bridges”), and we see the parallel rise
of ABS-CBN and Meralco. We then see Oscar
returning to the Philippines to work for his
father as publisher of The Manila Chronicle. The
whole number is then told through Oscar’s POV
presenting each milestone of Lopez Inc.: the
Meralco expansion in 1963, Meralco Securities
Corporation’s creation of a department of
economic research and development headed by
Oscar that led to a new path of diversification
and expansion; and the inauguration of the ABS-
CBN Broadcasting Center in 1968 and the new
Meralco Building in Pasig in 1969. The scene
ends with Eñing singing about how “our business
success should be measured by the happiness of
our employees” (Song 10: “The Creed We Live
By”). It is 1969 and act one ends with a shadow of
darkness hanging over the successes of the Lopez
Group.
ACT 2.
Act 2 begins in 2009 with Oscar remembering
his mother in the early 1980s after the death
of Eñing. We then see the year 1970. We see a
production number showing the unrest and rise
of activism (Song 11: “A Storm is Brewing”). We
see how The Manila Chronicle and ABS-CBN
have become critical of the Marcos regime. The
scene ends with the declaration of martial law
and the arrest of Geny.
While Geny was in prison, Eñing is abroad.
We then see a scene as Oscar visits Geny. Geny
sings a song with his father. (Song 12: “A Distance
That Keeps Us Closer”).
At the end of the song, we hear news clips and
footage of the 1986 People Power uprising that
ousted Marcos. Lights come up on Geny as he
returns to Manila and, together with Manolo and
Oscar, plans to revive the Lopez conglomerate
(Song 13: “We Rise Again”). Within the song, we
see the passing of time and the death of Nitang
and ending with a poignant moment as Geny
dies in 1999.
During the funeral, Oscar sings a eulogy for
his brother (Song 14: “Never Forget”). He tells the
story of their family and how the legacy should
continue. The song ends with Eñing, Nitang and
Geny joining in and compelling Oscar to never
forget and to continue the Lopez legacy.
We see the year 2000. Oscar is the new head
of the Lopez Group. He watches as the third
generation of Lopezes talk and sing about the
current Lopez business and CSR efforts they are
involved in (Song 15: “Moving Forward in the
Service of the Filipino”).
After the song, we see Oscar looking at the
news headlines about the problems challenging
the Lopez Group. We then go back to the
beginning of the musical as Oscar prepares to
give a speech at the First Philippine Holdings
Corporation’s 47th annual stockholders’ meeting.
Connie sings to him a reprise of the love duet
(Song 16 Reprise: “It Must Be You”).
The song segues to Oscar’s speech. Within the
speech, Eñing and Geny appear to sing the reprise
of the ending song of Act 1 (Song 17 Reprise:
“The Creed We Live By”).
The Lopez grandchildren come in together
with the ensemble to sing the finale (Song 18:
“The Spirit That Moves Us”).

D I R E C T O R / P LAY W R I G H T ’ S
The production of the musicale “Undaunted”
began in 2008 after Oscar M. Lopez (OML)
watched “I Dream: A Musicale on the Life of
Henry Sy Sr.,” which we staged as part of the
50th anniversary of SM. OML contacted Stages
president Audie Gemora, who is also a Lopez,
and in turn Audie gathered the same team and
put us to work on this “bio-musical.”
It was supposed to be staged in 2008 to celebrate
the 80th year of the Lopez Group of companies
but due to various reasons, the production didn’t
push through. But allow me not to recount all the
production details, postponements etc. behind
the making of “Undaunted.” Allow me instead to
give my insights, as playwright and director, on
the musical as a theater piece.
As a playwright, I have this need to find a
“hook” or a theme that I personally believe in,
something that I would be passionate about. With
the number of reference materials that I was given,
there were a million hooks and stories and themes
that became both a privilege and a detriment: a
privilege because it’s not often that a writer is privy
to a wealth of resources (enough to create more
than a dozen plays or telenovelas), and a detriment
because with a host of materials, it was a challenge
choosing how the stories should be told.
In sifting through all the stories, what
“hooked” me was a quote made by Eñing Lopez:
“Material wealth should never enslave a man
but a man should be its master to better serve
his fellowmen.” Initially, I didn’t know why that
statement caught my eye or why I decided to
weave the whole musicale around that statement.
It was only during the process of writing and
staging the musicale that I realized why and it
made me more than passionate about the story we
are going to tell.
More than just a story of the Lopez family,
it’s the story of us Filipinos, of a nation grappling
with its identity, struggling to identify the
values that it should live by. In a way, beyond
the entrepreneurial achievements and social
responsibility accomplishments of OML, he and
the Lopez family, with their history and legacy,
created a treatise that attempts to dissect and
analyze what the Filipinos really are, what we are
made of, what moves us and what unites us.
As I see it, the values of resiliency, integrity
and family unity are values that we can all
recognize but oftentimes struggle to apply in our
daily lives. This is what we are attempting to show
in the musicale and if there’s a single lesson that
we would wish the audience should take away,
it is that the story of Oscar M. Lopez and the
Lopez family is telling us that the ties and values
that bind us together as a nation should never be
forgotten if we are to move forward to a better
future. We must realize that these ties and values
are strengthened by the all too human emotion
called love. In recognizing this basic emotion and
need, perhaps we can better understand ourselves
and experience grief and joy, defeat and triumph
with the same positive and uplifting outlook as
OML and the Lopez family.
It is not often that a theater practitioner
like myself is given such creative freedom and
bountiful material to work with, and I am
thankful to have a very talented cast and a highly
creative staff that shares in the vision that the
material wishes to convey. I must also express
deep gratitude to the following people for giving
us this opportunity and privilege to mount a
theater production we can believe in and be
passionate about: Jay Lopez, Cedie Lopez-
Vargas, Audie Gemora and, of course, Manong
Oskie, whose words, vision and inspiration are
the true driving force that brought “Undaunted”
into being.

Us
Geny:
Let me begin by thanking all of you
For being here in our hour of grief
Your sympathy and help means so
much
You being here have made us believe
We are not alone in the dark
And your presence comforts our family
There’s so much that needs to be said
About everything my father taught us.
Our father believed and taught us
Material things shouldn’t enslave a
man
But a man should be its master
To better serve his fellowmen
Truth, Justice, Human Dignity
Are things my father believed in and
lived
Family unity despite adversity
This is our father’s priceless legacy

SONG 8. It Must Be You
Oscar:
I have met you before
I have gazed into your face
I remember your smile, your eyes
In my mind, you left a lasting trace
There were other faces
Other eyes, other smiles
But I guess then I didn’t have a clue
To know it must be you
Connie:
Never thought that I’d see you
Never dreamed it would be this way
But now, as I gaze into your eyes
I’d want to be with you each and
every day
Maybe I didn’t know better
Maybe I just didn’t see
Perhaps for me it was just new
To know it must be you
Oscar & Connie:
But now that we know
Now that we’re together
We’ll see each other through
And I know, yes I know that it must
be you
And now that we’re together
Nothing can keep us apart
We’ll face the future together
I’ll stay by you forever
Nothing can ever be this true
I know, I know, I know it must be
you
It must be you.

From today, tomorrow and beyond
Looking for new horizons
Create the bridges and you will see
We’re crossing bridges going into

We’ve made strides to success
U N D AU N T E D 11
With the changing times we continue
To be there for those we serve
The success is not mine alone
It happened because of you
For I believe there’s nothing the
Filipino can’t do
And nothing is impossible when we
believe
I’m not one to make useless speeches
I’m not a man of words
Know me by my actions
In our business endeavors
There’s a principle, a policy we believe
in and we share
Human values are far superior
To values that are merely material
This I believe
The prosperity of the company
Must go hand in hand with that
of labor
For a company that’s prosperous
While labor wallows in misery
Does not have the right to exist
Eñing/Geny/Oscar:
The right to have and enjoy the fruits
of our labor
Is paramount to any profits we
may gain
Our success should not be measured
By the wealth we accumulate
But by the happiness that we can
spread
This is our norm of conduct
This is the principle we can’t deny
This is the creed we live by.
