Yangco, Teodoro Rafael, 1861-1939
Teodoro Rafael Yangco (November 9, 1861 – April 20, 1939) was a Filipino businessman who served in a variety of public and civic offices, and was considered to be the foremost Filipino philanthropist of his time. He was the longest serving president of the YMCA in the Philippines and served as Resident Commissioner of the Philippines to the U.S. Congress from 1917 to 1920.
Born in San Antonio, Zambales in the Spanish Philippines, he was educated by private tutors there before traveling to Manila to live with his industrialist father and attend Ateneo de Manila University, graduating there with a B.A. before enrolling in the law program at the University of Santo Tomas for one year and studying business in Madrid, Spain and London, England. Upon returning to the Philippines, Yangco worked for his father to learn the family business from the ground up. A salaried employee, Yangco clerked and slowly worked his way up to manager after a 10-year apprenticeship, eventually being given 13 ships to start his own shipping company.
