Matthew leaned back in his chair, watching the city lights flicker beyond the glass windows of his penthouse office. The SM Prime deal had gone exactly as planned. Sentinel Systems was now embedded in the largest real estate and retail empire in the Philippines. But Matthew wasn't the type to settle. He had billions in liquidity, and he wanted more. The next move had to be bigger.
San Miguel Corporation.
A conglomerate with its hands in everything—food and beverages, power, infrastructure, oil refining, and toll roads. If there was a company that truly shaped the Philippine economy, it was San Miguel. If Sentinel could secure a stake and a board seat, Matthew wouldn't just be influencing one industry—he would be influencing the entire country's economic landscape.
