Emil Bachrach

Russian-born Jewish American businessman Emil Bachrach moved to Manila in 1901. He opened a furniture store, the first Ford dealership among other businesses in the PH; and owned the Philippine Air Taxi Co, which was sold to Andres Soriano to become the modern-day Philippines Airlines. His donations allowed the Jewish community in Manila to thrive.
