MANILA -- In early December, employees of Philippine financial technology startup Voyager Innovations gathered for a town hall meeting to hear from the company's new foreign owners -- including China's Tencent Holdings, which has ambitious plans for the Southeast Asian market.
"Their main message was: You guys have a great road map. We are not here to tell you how to run your business, but we want to support you properly," said Paolo Azzola, chief operating officer of Voyager's payment app unit PayMaya Philippines.
