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]
