Cabangon-Chua, founder and chairman emeritus of the Fortune Group of Companies and publisher of Philippine Graphic magazine, owns the fledgling Business Mirror and operates popular hotel and motel chains in the country.

*** Antonio Tonyboy Cojuangco will also easily qualify to the Forbes list. Tonyboy reinvested his windfall in Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. and Piltel after acquiring medium-sized Bank of Commerce and Associated Broadcasting Co., which operates ABC-5. Tonyboy also owns Dream Cable and has joined the call center business. *** Corazon D.

Bobby earns lucrative fees and commissions as an investment banker. He was one of the senior advisers of Asian billionaire Robert Kuok, who owns the Shangri-La hotel chain. Ongpin, whose family partly owns SGV auditing company, is now heavily investing in the local IT sector with investments in Eastern Telecoms, ISM Communications and Philweb. hope this helps ('<>')
