PHIL M. COQUIA: Former Corpororate Finance Executive and Entrepreneur




 
Certainly one of the  most visible Past Presidents of  the Pasay-Makati Realtors Board, Phil continues to inspire current board members by serving as adviser.

After completing   his accounting degree from the University of Sto. Thomas in 1970, Phil embarked on a career in corporate finance that led him eventually to a regional posting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

He availed of  an early retirement at the age of 36, then he moved to the United States to start a trading business that he operated for 2 years. Upon his return to the Philippines, he founded a financial consultancy business in 1987. From his dealings with high net worth clients then, he saw the need to advise on real estate investments— thus his shift to what proved to be an illustrious real estate practice.
