Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Zóbel de Ayala clan is an affluent Filipino business family with ancestry from the Philippines, and northern Spain''s mountainous region of Álava descending from the lineage of Juan Larrazábal Ayala (circa 1475), an influential landowner. Patriarch Antonio de Ayala sailed for Manila in the 1800s and established an industrial partnership with Domingo Roxas, a descendant of Mexican immigrant Antonio Fernández de Roxas of Acapulco, who migrated to the Philippines in 1695, and later with Dr. Johannes Andreas Zobel, a German pharmacist from Hamburg who settled in Manila in 1832.The clan has been residing in the Philippines for more than 20 generations. Historically, the family has been well-known for their socio-economic and cultural contributions to the country such as the pioneering of Manila''s first rail system in the 1900s, establishing the oldest existing financial institution in Southeast Asia, as well as the construction of the first steel bridges in the Philippines. They are also the first family to have a private plane in the Philippines named Prima Zobelina.
