Our Leaders

Jocelyn Campos Hess

Chairman Emeritus | Unilab Group

Welcome to Unilab!

Our story began in 1945, in the immediate post-war era, when much of Manila was still in ruins. The Philippines had a long road to recovery, but our founders were inspired to do their share in rebuilding a country brimming with new life and spirit.

My father, Jose Y. Campos, and his business partner, Mariano K. Tan, went on to put up United Drug, a corner drugstore in the heart of Binondo. They built the company to provide quality and affordable medicines at a time of widespread healthcare scarcity. Day after day, they religiously lived out the values of husay at malasakit—going to great lengths beyond what was typically required of them—to answer every call and tend to every customer as best they could. And they did this together.

Early on in our history, our founders instilled in us the spirit of bayanihan—people coming together to work towards a common goal. Today, we see bayanihan not just as a value, but rather as a way of life. It is integral to how we forge deeper, more effective relationships within and beyond the company as we work ceaselessly to improve our customers' lives. Here, no one stands alone, and nobody gets left behind.

From our beginnings more than 80 years ago, the once-corner drugstore has evolved into what we now call Unilab, the country's leading pharmaceutical company. But our story doesn’t end here. Responding to the evolving needs of our customers, we have been expanding our business into different aspects of healthcare, thereby further transforming ourselves into a broader, more integrated health products and services enterprise.

As we continue to develop our business to keep pace with our customers’ changing requirements and preferences, we keep sight of our purpose: to enrich the lives of the communities we serve.

We have indeed come a long way from what our founders started in Binondo, but we at Unilab continue to safeguard the shared values they imparted to us—bayanihan, husay at malasakit—and uphold our mission to enrich the lives of the communities we serve, and more.

Clinton Campos Hess

Chairman and CEO | Unilab Group

If you’ve heard the story of Unilab, you may have developed an appreciation for how the business has evolved over time. But as you delve into our history, you may gain a deeper appreciation for those who work on the front lines and behind the scenes. Over the past decades, thousands of men and women have left personal legacies of husay at malasakit that fill the lines of our biography. We call them Unilab Warriors.

Our history is replete with stories of individuals working together, always striving for excellence, and going above and beyond the call of duty. The lives and legacies of my grandfather, JY Campos, and his good friend and business partner, MK Tan, imbued them with the values of bayanihan, husay, and malasakit.

With gratitude in our hearts, we stand where we are today on the shoulders of those who came before us. But what is up ahead for Unilab? Where do we go from here?

We see a future where more people are given the chance to live lives of holistic quality and good health. This vision beckons us to action and guides us to its realization. In recent years, the company has taken deliberate steps to provide more than medicines to its customers.

Today, Unilab is part of the Unilab Group, with the vision of empowering Southeast Asia to live happier, healthier lives through quality healthcare. Today we are a health conglomerate that brings our customers access to prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, branded generics, wellness & natural products, personal care solutions, health services, and animal healthcare. We view these as integrated offerings that address the evolving healthcare needs of the customers we serve in Southeast Asia.

As we continue to develop our business to keep pace with our customers’ changing requirements and preferences, we keep sight of our purpose: to enrich the lives of the communities we serve.

In pursuit of this mission, we ensure we continuously improve how we work, including customer engagement grounded in deeper insights, technology investments across our operations, and a commitment to quality and innovation. Just as our forefathers did in building Unilab, so will the Unilab Warriors of today shape the future of healthcare for our customers.

Through it all, we commit to caring for our customers as we care for our own families, ensuring that the customer’s health comes first in everything we do.
