Summary: This is a true to life story...an epic battle between David and Goliath in the modern era...the first and only book on Corporate Whistleblowing in the Philippines today. At the prime of his banking career, he was "eyes and ears" of a highly powerful tycoon, Lucio Tan, who is currently the world's 512th billionaire and 2nd richest in the country. He uncovered a multi-billion tax evasion scheme in the banking industry and reported the same directly to the country's President, Corazon Aquino. This was his nationalistic response to her call for help from the citizenry in the gigantic task of nation building devastated during the regime of deposed dictator President Ferdinand Marcos. Consequently, he was caught in the labyrinth of top level graft and corruption, economic sabotage, death threat, betrayal, espionage, favor swapping, greed and influence peddling orchestrated by the high and mighty all the way to the doors of the nation's seat of power...Malacanang! Alone, he charged against the giants for years, stumbled but stood up again until the very end against all odds. The family wallowed in extreme poverty and lived in fear. He lost his wife, promising career and friends along the way...but not his heart for good over evil for the sake of many. Battle-scarred, he is back to expose the worst menace in society....this time by the might of pen over sword. In the hope for people's awakening from deep slumber of apathy with the worst menace in society and injustice! http://www.amazon.com/FACE-OFF-AGAINST-A-TYCOON-ebook/dp/B005KOIXR8
