More than two decades ago, Mr. Lucio Tan's 'fame' (made int the newspapers) presented him as a 'bad' guy. He was, according to media reports - take note: the media reports... 'a crony, a tax cheat, a union buster'... I was not alone to believe these daily feeds about this man. The entire Philippines (sinners and the saints; friends and foes, alike) feasted on stories and assumptions about this man and his vast wealth.

Written as a compilation of biological sketches, Taipan focuses on the life of Filipino-Chinese businessman, Lucio Tan. It explores his roles as husband, father, friend, employer in the light of how others have observed, lived and worked with his thought-provoking wisdom and childlike wonder.

This book has been inspired by gratitude and admiration. The concept of this book dates back all the way to 2000 when my training in Appreciative Inquiry challenged me to apply the concept in a paradigm shifting project. Its data-gathering, writing and printing took our project team over a year of work.
What is different about this book?
CONGRATULATIONS!
