The Chiongbian Group of Companies was born out of one man's dream: William L. Chiongbian, born on December 7, 1914, had one dream - to own a ship. William grew up helping his father in the copra trading, where he enjoyed working on board the ships. In his mid-20's, William chartered an outrigger and hopped the islands bartering currency, dried fish, sugar and cigarette. During WWII, William took part in Emergency War Missions, eventually taking key role in what would become the liberation of Negros. 1945 From the Outrigger, William moved up to perating a "Batil" and at war's end, on December 13, 1945, William L. Chiongbian Shipping was established with one ship, named MV Victoriano, after his father. 1949 Four years later in 1949, William incorporated his business, and a year later and with 15 ships, William was voted "Shipping Man of the Year."
