And then you imply that they are not really Filipinos, which insults not only their success but everyone's intelligence and open-mindedness.
You want to know a sad fact? There are many billionaire Filipinos who are not on that list. Because the Forbes list only includes people who gained their billions legally. Would you be surprised to know that PGMA is richer than all the "non pure blood" Filipinos on that list? Do you have any idea at all what some people in politics earn these days? Some of them are richer than Lucio Tan, you just don't know it. The AFP comptroller alone, who was only a colonel was caught smuggling hundreds of millions of pesos. Joc Joc Bolante, a mere cabinet official spirited away at least 500 million.
So I suppose you can sleep easy now, now that you know that there are Filipinos in the Philippines who are not Intsik or Katsila (or insert evil foreigner) who are also billionaires. So what are you waiting for? Go run for public office and join the rest of the pure-blooded pinoys who are billionaires! There's money out there waiting to be pocketed!
