My wife asked if it's time to withdraw from our pre-need plan as a result of the recent barrage of news about the problems faced by pre-need companies. This is not the first time that pre-need companies are in the hot seat. Years back, the College Assurance Plan (CAP) and Pacific Plans, Inc. (PPI) suffered a financial problem which prompted them to seek shelter under the rules on corporate rehabilitation. Lately, member-companies of the Legacy Group (Legacy Consolidated Plans, Scholarship Plan Philippines, All Asia Plans) closed shop. First, let's define some concepts. |

Two successive polls at the Front Page is unusual. It hasn't been done before. But we're doing it now because this isn't an ordinary time in business and in the financial lives of everyone. We all know that there's a financial crisis affecting the world, the Philippines not excluded. It arguably started in the United States, which is now in a recession.

Looking at the success (and failure) of others is important for Pinoy Entrepreneurs. We learn a lot from learning about the business experience of entrepreneurs who've made it (and, equally, the lessons of those who failed). Thus, it's interesting to know the 10 Outstanding Entrepreneurs of 2008 list, released by Entrepreneur Philippines magazine in its December 2008 issue. |
