MANILA -- Ramon Ang, CEO of Philippine conglomerate San Miguel, has personally invested in infrastructure rival Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC), a move seen by some as a possible step toward a partnership between two of the country's biggest players.

The indirect investment was made in Ang's "personal capacity," and San Miguel "has not made any investment in MPIC," according to a statement by San Miguel.
