    Well most of them are not pure Filipino as you can see on their surnames, and Henry Sy’s race really came from China. I wonder how much tax they pay and since I believe that if you have a Foundation, mas bababa ang tax.

    See the importance of entrepreneurship? Be the boss of your own company. Who would know that a simple shoe store in Quiapo will become the biggest company in the country?
