[Title] => Who will be the next taipans?
[Summary] => With the golden era of the late 20th century rags-to-riches immigrant taipans nearly coming to an end, who will rise from among their kids, grandchildren or from the other new entrepreneurs to take the leadership positions as rugged pioneers of Philippine economic modernization? Can they grapple with the bewildering changes of globalization such as the record-high world oil prices and the internationalization needs of the China economic miracle?

Given the right breaks – not the kind that needs hospitalization for more than a week – every entrepinoy dreams of someday becoming a taipan. After all, no one can escape the omnipresence of the taipans who tower above the business horizon. Heck, chances are, they own the horizon – sky, stars, galaxy and all!

[Title] => GMA urges taipans to build low-cost homes
[Summary] => President Arroyo asked Chinese-Filipino businessmen yesterday to help the government build low-cost houses for the poor and low-salaried government workers.
The taipans yielded to Mrs. Arroyo’s request despite losing the bid to construct Terminal 3 of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA 3) to the German-led Philippine International Air Terminals Co. Inc. (Piatco).
Speaking at a luncheon for the taipans at Malacañang, Mrs. Arroyo offered joint ventures using idle, state-owned land around Metro Manila and elsewhere as equity.

[Title] => Will the taipans recover NAIA 3?
[Summary] => I didn't realize that the "emerging dragons" group of the taipans had actually filed suit to enforce their rights on the contract for NAIA 3. My source told me that the taipans are so pissed with the way they were had, they now want to pursue their claim. I don't blame them. They really seem to have been cheated out of the contract, when it was the Ramos administration that wanted them to work together on the project in the first place.
