Doesn't he own UE? Anyway, UST gives "Tan The Man" a Ph.D. which he obtained "through an equivalency program" which is already a big doodoo since the "country's wealthiest businessman had to apply for admission, be assessed of fees, and undergo question from university faculty." If only it was that easy for the rest of us.

I wonder if King Poobah's donation was enough for a new art museum.

UST cited Mr. Tan for emerging as "one of the most successful industrialists in modern Philippine history" and for serving as "an inspiration, a guiding beacon to many of his fellow Filipinos who believe and hope that they too, can break from the bondage of poverty."
