GRANTING PHILIPPINE CITIZENSHIP TO ANDRES MIGUEL SORIANO IV
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Andres Miguel Soriano IV was born in the Philippines and has always considered the 
Philippines his home. His roots can be traced to his great-grandfather, Col. Andres 
Soriano, a Filipino industrialist and philanthropist. Col. Soriano contributed to our 
nation’s economy and development when he founded A. Soriano Corporation 
(ANSCOR) and Philippine Airlines, and transformed San Miguel into the country’s 
largest food and beverage corporation. Moreover, Col. Soriano served as the Secretary 
of Finance, Agriculture, and Commerce under the Philippine Commonwealth 
government.
Andres is fully committed to continuing the legacy of his family by dedicating his life to 
building businesses that are instrumental to the Philippine economy. Currently, he is a 
Director of the Andres Soriano Foundation, Inc. (“ASF”) where he actively works to 
expand the foundation’s outreach assistance to island communities in their development. 
His initiatives include enabling communities to effectively manage their resources, 
providing access to education and healthcare services, and fostering financial 
sustainability through responsible resource utilization. Furthermore, he emphasizes the 
creation of partnerships that support sustainable development and poverty alleviation 
efforts. A significant aspect of ASF’s mission is the Cancer Research Program which 
aims to advance medical research and support individuals affected by cancer in the 
Philippines. Andres is deeply passionate about enhancing these efforts to broaden the 
foundation’s impact across the nation.
In addition to his work with ASF, Andres is the owner and director of Amihan Ventures 
LTD., a consulting firm that equips companies with tools for executive development, 
organizational growth, and employee training in modern technologies, including Al tools 
and productivity best practices. With a background in Entrepreneurship, Hospitality 
Asset Management, and Dispute Resolution, he aims to leverage his expertise to foster 
innovation and growth within Philippine companies.


Andres is also committed to the hospitality training sector, building on the program 
established at ASF to upskill local talent and create new opportunities within the 
industry. His vision is to enhance the hospitality sector’s potential in the Philippines.
A passionate sailor, Andres learned to sail at the Manila Yacht Club, where he became 
a professional sailor and participated in the 2011/2012 Round the World Race. He is 
dedicated to revitalizing sailing as a sport in the Philippines, with goals that include 
campaigning to represent the nation in offshore sailing at the Olympics and training 
future Olympians for competitive success in upcoming events. His affiliations with the 
Royal Ocean Racing Club and membership at the Manila Yacht Club support these 
ambitions.
Andres is fully committed to becoming a Filipino and is dedicated to helping Philippine 
companies in innovating and expanding by establishing businesses that create 
additional opportunities for Filipinos.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of the bill is earnestly sought.
