Early and personal life

Born to ethnic Chinese parents, Ang is married to Tessie and is a father to eight children, among them Cecile, Monica, Jacqueline, Carmela, John Paul, and Jacob. His son John Paul acts as president of Eagle Cement Corporation and holds the positions of vice chair, president, and COO at SMC. Monica works in finance, while Cecile oversees operations at the family-owned Diamond Hotel Manila Bay. In April 2020, his third child, Jomar, passed away following a severe injury.

Ang grew up in Tondo, Manila, where he gained early experience working in his father’s automobile repair business and trading used Japanese car and truck engines. He completed a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Far Eastern University while simultaneously working as a student.

San Miguel Corporation

Ang’s introduction to San Miguel Corporation chair Danding Cojuangco occurred in a car repair shop. Cojuangco, known for his collection of cars and as a Marcos crony, was frustrated after several mechanics failed to detect a fault in his expensive sports car. Ang identified the problem accurately, which led to his hiring as Cojuangco’s personal mechanic. While Cojuangco was exiled alongside dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., Ang took charge of maintaining his vehicles, residence, and investments, returning all upon Cojuangco’s reinstatement.

In January 1999, Ang was appointed vice-chairman of SMC and advanced to president and COO by March 2002. He solidified control over SMC in June 2012 by purchasing Cojuangco’s shares, thereby strengthening his leadership within the corporation.

Following Cojuangco’s death in June 2020, SMC consolidated the roles of CEO and president under Ang on April 15, 2021.

On June 10, 2024, Ang was designated chairman and CEO of SMC. Concurrently, his eldest son John Paul L. Ang assumed the roles of vice-chairman, president, and COO. The company intends to revise its by-laws to reflect these executive changes subject to approval from stockholders and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
