successful entrepreneurs in the philippines?

The successful entrepreneurs in the philippines are mostly of chinese or spanish descent.  Only a handful are full-blooded filipinos.\n\nVery notable among these successful entrepreneurs is Tony Tan Caktiong, the head of Jollibee Foods Corp who was named Ernst & Young's 2004 World Entrepreneur of the Year.  The Philippines is the only country in the world where the giant McDonald's is not the number one fastfood chain; Jollibee's sting is really deadly for this American clown.

Magandang Gabi from Curaçao!\nThere are 7 Filipinos working for me here on board my ship (I'm an American)...they are all hard-working, smart guys...I've visited the Philippines several times, many years ago...always had a very good time there...just wish that some day the Philippines will be free of all the corruption that represses it...then Filipinos (and Filipinas) will become truly prosperous.

You are right, and many don't succeed. \n\nI have been in the home business arena for several years and I have seen a lot of entrepreneurs starting their businesses with no direction whatsoever. Business planning, especially among home based entrepreneurs, is almost non-existent. They consider it as a useless exercise as they feel they are not going out to pitch their businesses to banks or venture capitalists. \n\nMany simply read a sales pitch, get excited with the sales copy, then immediately buys into the business opportunity thinking that they will make it big with that business. Some of those who advertise in my website would promote one business this month, only to promote a new one two months down the road because the first one did not fly.\n\nThere are those who learn and adapt quickly who succeeds. But for every success story, there are more failures.

I know the main source of income for the Philippino GDP yearly is remittence from overseas working Philippinos. Nevertheless, I haven't met any who think negatively of their country and they usually have a longing to return or retire at home. Probably it isn't the best place to make money and since most educated Phillipinos speak fluent English, it's much easier for them to gain employment overseas. Though am sure once the money has been made, it would be a good place to live in.

If you are planning to establish a school facility in the Philippines, I guess this time, it will be in danger.  I've been in the academe in the Philippines for almost 10 years (a prestigious university)and I can say that economically wise, establishing business like this is not advisable. You may ask me why. Well...I guess, you can see how Filipino people are begging for the food to place in  their table, how much more for the tuition fee of their children?

Lots of influence from the Spaniards... They always collect taxes higher than expected... Get the land of farmers... So.. After 333 years of colonialism what do you expect from the Filipinos? Be totally better than them? NAH!!! Your wrong... \nDo you think that the Philippines shold be first or what? It's good that the Philippines is only second not first. It's not in the religion. It's already in the tradition. It's hard to eradicate that...\nMind you... Not every politicians are corrupt... :) Wow good thing... I still think that Pres. Arroyo does not corrupt because there are no issues about that...
