This annual report is dedicated to our shareholders, partners, customers, employees,
and the various communities we serve. Their trust is the reason why Ayala remains one
of the most stable and respected business groups in Asia today. Their confidence in our
stewardship drives us to grow and evolve, not just to face the challenges of the present
but to seize the opportunities of the future.
This defines our continuing commitment to build superior value into that trust.

Do your best or don’t do it at all—these are the words I live by every day.
In fact, it’s probably the credo that has made Kamiseta grow from a single rack into a chain of stores.
I’m just as enthusiastic today about coming out with a new clothing line as I was when we started
out with guts and ideas and little else. To this day, I never leave home without a little notebook in
my bag. It’s great for jotting things down: thoughts, observations, and fresh inspiration. Sometimes
a great idea gets me so excited that I have trouble sleeping!

Now the good thing about those sleepless nights is that I’ve discovered a passion for cooking.
Instead of tossing and turning in bed late, I wind up in the kitchen concocting dishes for the
next day! I can’t stand being idle. I need to be involved with something creative all the time,
something that keeps my hands and my mind busy. Chalk it up to being passionate about
everything I do—an attitude that I try to instill in my staff and a virtue that I hope to pass along to
my children.
After all, work isn’t just about earning a living; it’s about being able to enthusiastically look forward
to each new day.
Chris Aldeguer-Roque
Ms. Roque is Vice-President and Creative Director of Kamiseta, a popular
clothing store, with branches in all Ayala Malls.

In anything you set out to do, if you persevere, there’s nothing to fear. I speak from experience
when I say that poverty is not a hindrance to success in life. I survived being orphaned, the
Japanese Occupation, the war, and still managed to get a bachelor’s degree and establish my
own business.
It wasn’t easy, though. I had to work my way through college—spending my days as an agent
for a chemical company and my nights in class. When my wife and I started our own chemical
company, I personally made all the deliveries. Sometimes I would be working until the wee hours

of the morning—even on Sundays!
My perseverance paid off. I was able to send my two children to good schools, saw my business
grow into a professionally-run company, and maintain a portfolio of investments that includes
companies like Ayala Land. Today, although I still serve as adviser to our company, I can sit back
and enjoy the fruits of my hard work. I go to the gym regularly and stay on a healthy diet of fish
and vegetables.
I owe it to my family to stay fit. After all, I want to live long enough to see all my grandchildren
grow up.

Businessman,

Survivor
In 1981, when I was just a student, I overheard some ladies talking about a job opening at
Ayala Corporation. I needed to continue supporting myself through my secretarial course, so I
immediately jumped at the chance to apply. Fortunately, I was hired as a clerk-typist. I’d work until
5:30 p.m.; then take a train to get to class by 6:00.
I met my husband here and built a home with the company’s help. Now I have three children and
am still a loyal employee of Ayala.

My work as an executive secretary is so challenging and rewarding. Even if my role often keeps me
behind the scenes, I enjoy the thrill of seeing a project through successfully. Whenever Ayala Land
has a very important bid at stake, I go down to the chapel to say a prayer. Knowing that I can, in a
small, supportive way, be party to the company’s progress—is reward enough.
I’d like to be remembered as someone with the gift of service. Someone who always lends a hand
without counting the cost.
Lolit Savares-Prepeña
Ms. Prepeña is Confidential Secretary to Executive Vice President Vincent Y.Tan
and was chosen by the Philippine Association of Secretaries as Secretary of the Year in 1999.

Fellow Stockholders,
The level of public trust in products and

Despite the difficult economic and political
environment in 2002, your Company’s core

the way our clients have invariably chosen

trust and confidence that Ayala Land has
earned over the years.
Ayala Land has always sought to be
the market leader by offering distinctive
products to a discerning clientele. This
ability to innovate has become a source
of competitive advantage in today’s weak

ourselves in a number of new and growing
markets through the application of timetested management skills, sharp focus on
product innovation and improvement, and
the elevation of marketing and technical
skills to even higher levels.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Stockholders and the Board of Directors
Ayala Land, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ayala Land, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Philippines. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a

Caring for the Community
ALI is also a prime mover in the Laguna Manpower Employment
and Development Council, a multisectoral organization advocating
programs on workforce development and employment. Its
projects include the establishment of Centers for Technical
Training Excellence, the creation of the Laguna Workforce
Information System and implementation of an entrepreneurship
development program.
Environment The Calamba Green Stream Brigade (CGSB), an
awardee of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the Laguna Lake Development Authority, was created by
ALI to help protect and rehabilitate waterways. CGSB worked
with barangays, private corporations and government agencies in
rehabilitating the Baranca de Sipit and Bucal creeks - two waterways
that replenish Laguna de Bay.
Formed in 1999, the Laguna Water Conservancy is a forum of
more than 30 business enterprises regularly discussing issues
of water resource utilization, protection and management with
national agencies.
The Ayala Tree Nursery, established in 1994, has 10,000 shade
tree saplings and is now a primary supplier of full-grown narra
and mahogany saplings for various reforestation programs. It was
recently made a partner by the Quezon City government in its urban
re-greening program.

Yearly, ALI - in coordination with the Museo ng Makati - provides
free tours and seminars at the Ayala Museum for public elementary
students. ALI also supports Lakbay Aral programs in Laguna, Cavite
and Muntinlupa.
Health The Ayala Land Mobile Clinic has conducted free dental
and medical missions in various parts of Luzon, benefiting more
than 1,000 patients. In 2002, missions were undertaken in Makati,
Mandaluyong, Quezon, Pasay, Taguig, Muntinlupa and Las Piñas as
well as in the provinces of Laguna and Cavite.

formation of the Makati Festivals Foundation, a partnership between
the Makati city government and the business sector. The foundation

partner of the Department of Tourism in its bid to make Makati a
primary tourist destination.
Also in 2002, the Laguna Tourism Foundation (LTF) was founded
through the efforts of Ayala Land. LTF involves the private sector
in the formulation and implementation of tourism-related policies
and projects.
Trafc Management The Laguna Traffic Task Force is a joint private
sector-government initiative to manage traffic in Laguna’s first and
second districts -specifically the industrial and commercial corridors
along the Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road and the Biñan-Sta. Rosa portion
of the old national highway.
A similar traffic program is in place for the Alabang-Zapote Road,
which straddles the growth areas of Muntinlupa and Las Piñas.
Formed by ALI in 1997, Task Force A-Z is made up of corporate entities
and village associations, and works closely with the local government.
Flood Control ALI spearheeded the creation of the MakatiParañaque-Pasay Flood Control Association (also known as Task
Force Noah) to find solutions to flooding. The group dialogues with
government agencies on flood management programs covering,
among others, the Maricaban-Dilain and Tripa de Gallina creeks.

(LIPB) - a special project of ALI and the Laguna provincial
government - is a one-stop shop for investors interested in doing
business in Laguna. LIPB provides investors basic information on
Laguna such as investment-related ordinances, regulations and
permits processing.

incoming elementary school pupils. Launched in 1998, the “School
Starter” program has benefited thousands of school children in
Quezon City, Muntinlupa, Las Piñas, Laguna and Cavite.
Special Concerns Your Company continues to extend help to Elsie
Gaches Village - a government-run institution for the mentally
challenged - through ground maintenance work, provision of water
supply, and special events management.
