With his years of experience as a successful entrepreneur, it is no surprise then, that when DR
Teodoro applied to the Wharton Advanced Management Program (Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania) in an effort to broaden his professional foundation and strengthen
his executive decision-making ability, he was accepted. As if that were not enough, he was also
carefully chosen among hundreds of applicants from around the world to be a part of the
Harvard Business School Executive Education, Owner/President Management Program (OPM).
The Harvard Business School OPM Program is available only to presidents and business owners
who are actively involved in running their respective businesses, with minimum annual sales of 7
million; once accepted, participants will attend three sessions over three years. The Harvard
Business School and Wharton School rank 1st and 3rd respectively among the top business
schools in the nation.
As further proof of his entrepreneurial and leadership acumen, D.R. Teodoro received the 2007
Chancery Leadership Award and Most Outstanding Chapter President from University of the
Philippines Alpha Phi Beta Chancery. He was inducted into the Chicago Filipino American Hall of
Fame Class of 2007 for Humanitarian Leadership, receiving the Humanitarian-National Award.
He has also been awarded several distinctions including: Business Man of the Year 2005,
Business Advisory Council, State of New York; Business Achievement Award 2004, Pan-American
Concerned Citizen Action League, Inc., New Jersey; and Certificate of Recognition 2004, Asian
Pacific American Heritage, New Jersey.
Despite all the outward manifestations of success, DR Teodoro knows that he would not be
where he is without God’s favor. As a testament to God’s faithfulness, DR Teodoro established
Foundation for God’s Glory in 2005, a not-for-profit social service organization with three
programs running in the Philippines: scholarship, hunger alleviation and disaster relief. Since its
initial launch in the Philippines, FGG has assisted families struck by various disasters, fed 80
children daily in four economically-distressed urban communities in Manila, served 243 persons in
three medical missions, and sponsored 118 scholars for a one-year training course for pastors,
evangelists and church planters. In the US, FGG donated financial support to aid the people
affected by Hurricane Katrina, fed 60 South American indigent migrants in New Jersey, regularly
sends volunteers to help feed the homeless in New York City, and sends monthly financial
support to 17 US-based Christian ministries. In April 2008, DR traveled to the Philippines to give
the commencement address at the graduation of 53 FGG scholars this year.
When asked by Entrepreneur Magazine what success means to him, D.R. responded, “Success is
when we have found ourselves in the center of God’s will, doing exactly what we’re meant to
do.” Indeed it seems D.R. Teodoro has found his calling.
