OnMyWay Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 This list does not copy well. Click on the link. https://www.forbes.com/lists/philippines-billionaires/?sh=26b5da9644e5 The Philippines’ economy grew 8.3% in the first quarter of 2022, as domestic demand started recovering from pandemic headwinds. Newly elected president Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., son of the former dictator, who was ousted in 1986, pledged to keep up the growth momentum. Nonetheless the pressures of inflation, rising commodity and energy prices as well as reduced exports to China dragged the benchmark stock index down 6% from 11 months ago when fortunes were last measured. The peso also plunged 12% over the same period. As a result, the combined wealth of the country’s 50 richest dropped to $72 billion from $79 billion last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 There are some current and past politicians who qualify for this list but had rather not be on it. Philippines has some really strict bank secrecy laws. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettGC Posted August 13, 2022 Posted August 13, 2022 Given the amount of tax they owe, something in the region of 200 billion PHP, I'm really surprised the Bam Bam and family aren't on the list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
