Hello everyone.
When I was working, people said our 'Chief Boss' travels via chopper. Oh yes, our boss, the owner of some big name companies here travels by his own helicopter. He owns the flag bearer airline of my country Philippine Airlines, Fortune Tobacco, hotels, spirits/liquors, real estates, banks and schools to name a few.
According to Forbes, his net worth is around $4 billion. But he started to work as a janitor for tobacco company while going through college.
And yes, last Friday and Saturday, I saw his chopper on one of his building. Wow! That is awesome. 
Thinking you would be transporting to different places with your chopper and not enduring the traffic here. 
I would love to experience that.
How about you, what is your favorite mode of transportation?

@rakski But I don't have enough money for a chopper, so I am fine with anything I have.

I like trains if they're not too noisy and crowded.

Yes, your Boss' chopper passes by the office of my daughter before and lands at the Allied Bank building :) Saw him one time having coffee with one or two friends one morning when we stayed at The Charter House. So Mr. Tan was your Boss - were you a banker?

Yes, he was my former boss' boss. He is the Big Boss. Nope, I am not a banker but I used to go to Allied Bank Center via a van (not chopper) 
when I need some documents signed by another boss. I am in his schools. I have met the presidents of some of his businesses.

@sunrisefan yes, He owns UE and UERMMMC too which is a medical school and facility. Actually my boss is his right hand. So it makes him my boss' boss, right?

@rakski Ah okay :) Perhaps you worked with FEU :) I think your Boss also owns some hospitals, just like Mr. George Ty of Metrobank. You must have been an executive secretary, Ms. Rach :) BTW, do you know that your Boss sponsors many high school students from Chinese schools in the country and I think he pays for their 1 month stay in China as exchange students during the summer bring. A few days ago, PAL took off for China with these students. I think this has been going on for the last few years.
