As an institution that is strongly inclined towards the international curriculum, Southville International School and Colleges strives to equip its students with experiences that will enable them to grow and learn as future leaders and achievers. The Business Lecture – CEO Forum was established to provide an avenue for students to gain insights on critical concerns and issues of the corporate world through a dialogue with experts, business practitioners and managers.

For its 4th year, the CEO Forum invited Mr. Edward Lee, the Founder and Chairman of the Board of COL since 1999, COL Securities (HK) Limited since 2001, Citisecurities, Inc. since 1986, and Caylum Trading Institute since 2013. Under Mr. Lee’s guidance, COL Financial Group, Inc. became the country’s largest online stock brokerage firm, accounting for over 75 percent of online value turnover, according to Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) records.
