Meet Ray Manigsaca: The AppleOne Team Leader Whose Love for God and Family, Commitment to Community Driven the Company to Success

AppleOne Group CEO and President Ray Manigsaca he has an easy-going aura that makes people warm to him easily. But it is his no-nonsense and calculated approach to business that ultimately convinces business partners to trust his sharpness and vision. The biggest proof of that is the continuous growth of the AppleOne Group that he built from the ground up with his wife Venus.

Manigsaca has successfully cultivated his business with residential, hotel and resort, commercial and healthcare businesses. He has made it his main goal to make AppleOne focus on wanting to serve his community and the VisMin region, and creating a positive impact to help communities grow their businesses, access better medical care, and secure stable jobs. He believes in making these places and opportunities available that will raise the standard of living in many areas.

AppleOne Group credits its steady growth and lasting impact to the dynamic leadership of President and CEO Ray Manigsaca. Having devoted fifteen years to growing the Cebu-based business, Manigsaca has pushed AppleOne to the forefront of the industry at the national level, helping pave the way for the VisMin region to take the lead behind Metro Manila.

One of Manigsaca’s strongest characteristics is his spiritual stability that serves as the north star in his business endeavors. He vividly remembers starting AppleOne Medical Group after a church pastor spoke to him about the need for accessible medical services in the community. For Manigsaca, each decision must be made with a balanced and thoughtful mind, ensuring that they are in line with ethics and long-term social welfare.

“I am determined in everything I do as a businessman, and I always want to focus on VisMin because I believe there is a lot of potential and this is something we can really achieve, while ensuring that we are able to contribute to the tourism industry and the economy as a whole, as we have been striving to be government partners in our activities,” said Manigsaca.

Family also plays a big role in how Manigsaca operates as a business leader. He successfully encouraged his children, Sam and Patrick, to value his vision and what AppleOne was doing. Both are passionate about their business as they play a key role in the company’s operations and strategic planning. His business approach can be seen as family in nature – he considers his employees not just employees but as extensions of the wider company family, where there is mutual trust and respect, and many ways to grow.

“I am blessed with the support of my family which comes from their love. My children wanted to help in the business voluntarily because they saw my wife’s hard work when we were growing up. They appreciate the work we do and we have full confidence in what they can bring to the table as second generation leaders of the company. It gives them a sense of pride and satisfaction knowing that their contributions matter.”

Community involvement is another pillar of Manigsaca’s business philosophy. AppleOne is actively trying to cultivate development that benefits different sectors of society and promote tourism in the VisMin region, emphasizing the idea that there are many potentials in the region that can be explored and developed. This concept not only fuels regional development but also instills a sense of pride and purpose within AppleOne.

Manigsaca’s unique leadership style inspired AppleOne to expand its portfolio of award-winning projects that continue to elevate Cebu’s real estate and make an impact on a global scale. In fact, AppleOne has achieved many milestones, not only through strategic collaboration but also through deep commitment VisMin community and culture. His dedication has inspired the continued expansion of AppleOne, ensuring that every project improves tourism in the region, strengthens the local economy, and improves the lives of the people affected by it.

“I make sure that each decision is carefully planned, and that these decisions are connected to achieve a greater goal. For AppleOne, I thought it was a perfect business approach. Ultimately they all lead to the same goal of raising the standard of living and industry in the VisMin region,” he said.

Manigsaca’s strong leadership qualities created a positive domino effect between the Manigsaca family and the AppleOne company. As one of the fastest growing development companies in the country, Manigsaca’s hard work and excellence is paying off, one location and one development at a time.
