San Miguel Corporation

Ang met San Miguel Corporation chair Danding Cojuangco in a car repair shop. Cojuangco, a car collector, was looking for a mechanic to repair a broken multimillion-peso sports car that he owned, and he grew angry as the mechanics in the shop weren't able to identify the sports car's defect. Ang approached an angry Cojuangco to tell him what his car defect was. Cojuangco then hired Ang on the spot as his official mechanic. When Cojuangco went on exile with newly ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos (Cojuangco was a well known Marcos crony involved with the Coco Levy Fund scam), Ang took care of Cojuangco's cars, house, and investments. When Cojuangco returned to the Philippines, Ang handed back everything Cojuangco entrusted him to.

Ang was elected vice-chairman of SMC in January 1999; and later as president and chief operating officer (COO) in March 2002. In June 2012, he gained control of SMC after acquiring the shares owned by Cojuangco.
