Metro Global Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated as San Jose Oil Company, Inc. on September 17, 1954 and was listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on May 4, 1964 as an oil exploration company and was reorganized in 1996 into a corporate vehicle that will pursue infrastructure-related investments and was renamed Fil-Estate Corporation.
