sobra yaman nila bkit kahit konti lang di cla mag bigay sa mga kababayan natin mahihirap....sa dami ngaun ng mga naghihirap sa pinas like yung mga nasa squater area...wala bahay yung mga wala pagkain at wala mga trabaho db kc di naman nila madadala yung yaman nila pag patay na sila...
chukie, they share some of their blessings to the poor through the Corporate Social Responsibility programs of the companies they've established. SM at the helm of Henry Sy offers scholarship programs to poor students who are deserving to study. Same as the Gokongwei company Universal Robina, they have foundations that offer scholarships and great employment opportunities.
Most of them have foundations and charities.
They cannot just give money or things to the people because they think it makes people lazier. That's why rich people (those who control the Philippine economy) focused on developing the Philippines through education and attitude.
Grabe ang yaman ng mga dayuhan. . Kya pasalamat sila.. Kc saten sila yumaman. , pero sana marinong pdin silang kumilala sa mga tao. .At higit sa panginuon. .
I admire these people. Even during my younger years, i want to be one of the billionaires in the Philippines. It is really an achievement for a person to be one on the list. Good job tycoons. ♥
