While many subsidiaries were in "survival mode", it was imperative that innovation initiatives are in-place for the subsidiaries to be successful and sustainable post-pandemic. Donald also shares his thoughts around Web 3.0, specifically the development of blockchain in the Philippines, together with how Southeast Asia, and the Philippines in particular, will accelerate innovation.
