History

The company was first established in 1986 as the SBS Radio Network Inc. (SBS being Sarao Broadcasting Systems) where it had the Las Piñas-based Sarao family, well known for its manufacture of Jeepneys, and the Vera family (original owners of FBS Radio Network) as venture partners.

In 1992, Luis and Leonida Vera's eldest son, Atty. Jose Luis Vera ("Bobet"), took full control of the network and renamed the SBS Radio Network as Quest Broadcasting Incorporated.[1][2]

gollark: No, it's Esowiki's fault.
gollark: Now, my crawler thing's HTTP client followed the request, but didn't note it, so it accidentally indexed a bunch of Wikipedia while thinking it was Esowiki.
gollark: I figured out the problem! Esowiki is being stupid and for some reason you can link to `Wikipedia:Whatever` and it links to Wikipedia.
gollark: Okay, mystery solved! Ish! Not really! It's crawling the links to nonexistent pages and fetching them anyway.
gollark: Well, the link input-into-database code seems sound.
