King, who was born in China but migrated to the Philippines to seek greener pastures, found himself suffering alone as war broke out. It was during the war years that he witnessed the fall of Manila, the horrible deaths, shattered lives and families separated in combat. Surviving those difficult years, he vowed to help Filipinos rebuild their lives.

He put up a small factory named La Campana Fabrica de Tabacos that ventured into the cigarette business. It was tough at first.- he did almost everything from blending the tobacco to being a salesman, delivery man, collector, cashier, and product promoter. His perseverance and sacrifice paid off as the business grew.

When he married a Filipina named Nelia, he found in her a partner who helped him expand into other businesses such as tobacco processing, rice milling, buying and selling of goods, insurance and construction. The company name was also changed to Mighty Corporation (MC).

Today, MC is a fully integrated tobacco company located at a 9-hectare property in Malolos, Bulacan. The area includes a complete threshing and redrying plant, which supply the necessary requirements for MC’s cigarette manufacturing operations.

Born February 5, 1929, Nelia Dy Wongchuking was the heart and soul of the Wong Chu King family—bringing wisdom, grace, and a spirit of giving that endures today. As honored by the Wong Chu King Foundation, her legacy continues to touch lives and shape communities.

As family matriarch, Nelia’s warmth and values provided the steadfast foundation for the family’s growth into diverse sectors including real estate, logistics, printing, and manufacturing. Her philanthropic vision is deeply reflected in the foundation’s work—such as the renovation of the Cavite Diocesan Shrine of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, in celebration of the foundation’s milestones.

Behind every business move and investment of Wong Chu King Holdings lies Nelia’s enduring belief in community and upliftment. A beloved figure in both family circles and larger societal projects, she inspired acts of kindness, generosity, and empowerment throughout Batangas, Cavite, Bulacan, and beyond.

Today, we honor Nelia D. Wongchuking as a guiding light whose legacy continues to inspire our mission. Her influence resonates in our commitment to compassionate leadership, community-building, and sustainable growth—values that define Wong Chu King Holdings and its future endeavors.
