Taipan Henry Sy believes, can’t we too?
By philobean | June 29, 2007
Many believe that we are a generation of disillusioned youth, a flock of nonbelievers, a mass of Filipinos-by-name who believe immigration is only a matter of when, not why; why not, not caring where so long as it is away from here.
Taipan Henry Sy relates to us in an interview with the Philippine Star his dedication and belief in a prosperous Philippines. Henry Sy, after all, was himself, an emigrant (to the Philippines and not from the Philippines). Why would an emigrant have so much faith in a country whose natives-born do not, even in the slightest, share similar sentiment?
Surely, while many consider the words of our politicians worth little, the words of a man who’s prospered by none but his own hand must hold more weight.

His belief in Philippines’ prosperity, esp from tourism is really moving..not to mention how he started from zero to hero..and like u’ve said,if he can believe and have such enthusiasm..i guess the youth should share the same feeling to

well for one mr. sy has always been a very optimistic person. if he is capable of building a mall during the end months of martial law … then he is capable of other challenges including this one.
although, of the taipans, mr. lucio tan seems to be the pessimistic one for claiming the peso will hit 100 to a dollar real soon!

(on Lucio Tan) That strikes me as ironic. After all, how can you be pessimistic about the *basket* that holds most of your eggs, so to speak?
