About us
The destruction of the Philippines during the second world war brought about great opportunity to become involved in the post war reconstruction of the country and Magsaysay set out enthusiastically to make its contribution in shipping which was a prerequisite for national recovery.Throughout the early 1950s, Robert C.F. Ho, together with his brother-in-law, Miguel A. Magsaysay worked actively in the Filipino Shipowners Association to draft and promote the approval of the Philippine Shipping Act of 1955. The legislation remains to this day the foundation of Philippine overseas shipping.This act gave the needed impetus to organize a new liner company to service the Philippine-Japan-U.S. trade route to compete with the traditional liner companies serving the country at that time.
