What gadgets does a tycoon use? (Part 11 of 15)

This is part 11 of the 15 people from the Wilson Lee Flores article in Philippine Star.

Jon Ramon Aboitiz

http://www2.sunstar.com.ph/specials/23most/images/aboitiz-t.jpg

President and CEO of Aboitiz & Co. and Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc.. He descends from a Spanish-origin family in Cebu with roots tracing back to the Basque minority in northern Spain.

He now holds various positions in the Aboitiz Group, including chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Davao Light & Power Co., Inc., chairman of Veco and Aboitiz Jebsen Bulk Transport Corp., and director of Hapag-Lloyed Phils., Cotabato Ice Plant Inc. and Bukidnon Hydropower Corp.

Aboitiz is also involved in alleviating poverty through education initiatives as trustee of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc., the Aboitiz Group Foundation Inc. and the Association of Philippine Foundations. He is a member of the Board of Advisors, Washington Sycip Policy Forum at the Asian Institute of Management.

GADGETS

He disclosed specific models, which I appreciated because unlike some of the tycoons, they just would say a generic brand and that's it. For example, some would say "iPod". We know it's from Apple but it has tons of models. Anyway, we should respect their opinions. :)

Mr. Aboitiz uses the ff:

You wouldn't even thought that he'd be enjoying his slack travel time using his iPod Nano. He just makes sure no time is put to waste maybe.
