Chan Kiong Ki See[1] (Chinese: 施恭旗[2]), commonly known as Carlos Chan, is a Filipino businessman who runs the Liwayway Group, the owner of the Oishi snack brand.

Background

Chan is the eldest son[3] of Chinese emigrants Chan Lib and See Ying from Fukien (now Fujian).[4] His father first moved to the Philippines in 1914. His parents would start a cornstarch family business which would grow to be the Liwayway Group.[3]

Together with his brother Manuel, Carlos Chan would diversify the Liwayway business in the 1970s by introducing the Oishi snack brand.[5] In the 1980s, Chan would expand the business to China.[3] Liwayway would also introduce the J.CO Donuts chain franchise to the Philippines.[6]

At the Philippine Pavilion of Expo 2010 in Shanghai, Chan was conferred the Order of Sikatuna by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.[7]

The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) conferred the MAP Management Man of the Year to Chan in 2021.[6]

He has served as a special envoy to the People's Republic of China for the Philippine under various presidents.[8] This includes Presidents Arroyo, Benigno Aquino III,[9] and Rodrigo Duterte.[10]
