Uno High School’s Impact on Future Leaders
Founded over six decades ago, Uno High School has grown into one of the Philippines’ most respected educational institutions.

For CEO Enrico Sy, the values instilled during his time at Uno High School, integrity, determination, and community-mindedness, have served as guiding principles in his personal and professional life.
The journey from a young Uno High School student to the head of a prominent fabric company was not without its challenges, and Sy was open in sharing his story at Uno@65. He discussed the discipline he learned from his time at Uno, the inspiration he drew from teachers and classmates, and the lessons he carried forward into his work at Gold Fortune Textile. His story resonated deeply with current students, many of whom aspire to lead in their chosen fields and make a meaningful difference in their communities.
Building a Company with Values Rooted in Education
Gold Fortune Textile has emerged as a brand that emphasizes both quality and sustainability, specializing in durable, eco-friendly fabrics like cotton-linen blends and advanced polyester options. This commitment to sustainable practices is influenced by the values of stewardship and responsibility that Sy absorbed during his time at Uno High School. Gold Fortune Textile’s emphasis on reducing environmental impact and promoting long-lasting, functional textiles is a reflection of its CEO’s belief that businesses have a duty to contribute positively to society.
Gold Fortune Textile’s presence at Uno@65 was not only a way for Sy to give back to his alma mater, but also an opportunity to engage with the next generation of leaders, creatives, and innovators.
