| Power Points | He is the Chinese-Filipinodream. Under President Joseph Estrada, Tan hascome to symbolize the ascendancy of theChinese-Filipino taipan. Though he is selling hisstakes in the national airline PAL and bank PNB, Tan remains an economicforce to be reckoned with. Talk of cronyism means Tan is dropping by thepresidential palace less often these days, which is probably just fine with thereclusive tycoon. His second carrier, Air Philippines, is set to go international,while his Allied Bank is on the acquisition trail.
