With my leadership, what was once a company focused on the oil and gas industry is now a more diverse organization catering to different sectors, including the agriculture, energy, minerals, hospitality, certification and trainings industries,” said Antonio Vicente Jr. Ortigas.

Antonio is also a photographer that is looking to give major names in the industry a run for their money. He founded Antonio Ortigas to follow his passion and has done well for himself in a relatively short while. Antonio continues to expand his horizon not only as a professional but also as an entrepreneur and he looks to conquer more grounds as time goes on. “Educating and exposing myself on our business and industry.
