In July 2008, DR Teodoro graduated from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Ranked as one of the top business schools in the world, Wharton is recognized globally as one
of the foremost leaders in business innovation today. While at Wharton, DR, along with 51
executives representing over 30 countries, underwent an intensive Advanced Management
Program designed to further enhance and improve business skills and decision-making. Having
undergone the rigors of such a program rightfully entitles students alumni status, therefore, as a
member of the Class of AMP 54, DR Teodoro is now an alum of Wharton, which happens to be
the first collegiate business school in the world, established in 1881.
In addition to having graduated from Wharton, DR Teodoro was 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). With its stringent
guidelines and highly selective application process, 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. DR Teodoro has completed his first year, will return to
Harvard in February 2009 and will be graduating March 2010.
As further proof of his entrepreneurial and leadership acumen, D.R. Teodoro has been selected
to be a member of the Circle of Leaders amongst the Filipino community in the U.S. and is one of
the Twenty Outstanding Filipinos Abroad for 2008. He has also 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.
