❛ He's so tall and handsome, I remember being shocked when I first discovered that he was actually Filipino. Then again, he's a Zobel de Ayala, so it makes sense. ❜

— Simón is best known for his ambitious nature. He strives for success, but knows well to limit his desire for power. Having been born into a well-respected aristocratic family, he was raised to treat other people with good manners even when they may be obnoxious. He has shown to be extremely caring and patient towards the people he's close to, including his family & friends, though this did not mean there hadn't been a few moments when he had lost his temper and committed selfish acts. Simón possesses the qualities of a good businessman; passion, determination, initiative, integrity, morality, and dynamic leadership. He's proven to be skilled at several things apart from business, such as money management, badminton, and playing the guitar. Although he's quite good at socializing, he usually prefers not to interact with other people when no communication is unnecessary, hence one of the factors as to why he's considered to be more of an introvert. Some people have stated that Simón "seduces without the intention to seduce", which is assumably due to his good looks and charisma that always draw women and some men to him.
