Our Foundation

Vision of Our Founder

Mr. Yao Shiong Shio

The vision of Mr. Yao Shiong Shio centered on creating a pharmaceutical company driven by compassion and public service. He believed healthcare should be accessible to every Filipino, especially the poor, and saw the business as a way to uplift communities by providing reliable, high-quality medicines at prices people could afford. More than commercial success, he emphasized genuine service to the nation and long-term partnerships built on trust. His legacy shaped a company culture that prioritizes people, purpose, and national well-being.
 

This profound sense of purpose extended beyond merely providing products; it encompassed a deep commitment to the community. Influenced by his lifelong dedication to public service, the founder envisioned Cathay YSS as an active contributor to the health of the Filipino nation, not just a supplier of medicines. This meant fostering strong relationships built on integrity and trust with both local and international partners. For YSS, this enterprise was about building a legacy of care and reliability that would positively impact the country for generations.

Ultimately, the founder’s vision was a powerful blend of business acumen and human- centered values. He believed that a company’s success should be measured not only by its profitability but also by its positive contribution to society. This philosophy inspired a company culture dedicated to excellence and driven by a higher purpose, where the development of its own people was as critical as the products they distributed. His legacy ensures that Cathay YSS remains dedicated to providing affordable, quality healthcare and continues to be a trusted partner in building a healthier, more prosperous Philippines.
