Sam continues to drive change through public service
Sam “SV” Verzosa has always believed that true leadership lies in service — and this has shaped his journey as a businessman, philanthropist and partylist representative.
His commitment to service shines through in “Dear SV,” a public service TV program which premiered in 2023 on CNN Philippines and is now in its second season on GMA Network.
He reflected, “‘Dear SV’ is my way of giving back and honoring my father, who always believed in helping others. He challenged me and my siblings to pursue our goals, but he also reminded us to lift others as we rise.”
In addition to his personal show, SV has also joined the “Wil to Win,” co-hosted by Willie Revillame.
While engaging with audiences on screen, he has also been busy making an impact in his hometown through public service.
As a representative of the Tutok To Win Partylist, he led a series of outreach initiatives that showcased his dedication to public service. He donated 17 multi-purpose “Serbisyo Vans” to various zones of Sampaloc, which will serve as emergency response vehicles and support civic work.
Along with the vans, he introduced SV Mobile Clinics, equipped with cutting-edge medical tools such as X-ray machines and ultrasound equipment.
As a leader, SV’s strength comes not just from his successes but from the struggles that shaped him. In Congress, he championed anti-poverty and education-focused initiatives, including House Bill 4827, which seeks to establish E-Skwela Hubs to support digital learning for underprivileged students.
He also authored House Bill 4829, the Online Philippine Pharmacy Act, aimed at regulating online pharmacies and safeguarding public health. His proposed Poor Job Applicants Discount Act offers financial relief to job seekers by providing discounts on government-required certifications.
As the president of Maserati Philippines and CEO of Frontrow, a direct-selling company in the wellness industry, SV applies his entrepreneurial skills to fuel sustainable community development programs.
