Do you dare enter the Dragons” lair?.
It”s that time of year again. The Dragons are soon to come out of hibernation and with all that fiery breath stored up, they”re on the look-out for fresh victims sorry I meant entrepreneurs.
The majority of contestants that appear on Dragons” Den go home empty handed, and for good reason too. Let”s not forget it”s an entertainment programme, designed to amuse and titillate its viewers. The worst ideas make for the most compelling viewing.

Helping poor fishers become entrepreneurs.
SINCE 1990, tuna magnate Roger Lim has made a big impact on the lives of 150 poor fishermen in General Santos City.

Lim said this is because he stands pat on his principles, no matter who gets hurt and no matter what the consequences would be.
He”s noted for being fearless and vocal in attacking misdeeds and vague policies of the government.
He openly criticized the government for allowing Taiwanese fishers to dump their non-export quality tuna product in the local markets.
He lobbied hard for the passage of a law in Congress reclassifying tuna hand line boats.
And recently, Lim fought, tooth and nail, for the relief of the entire Maritime 12 police whose members were accused of extorting money and other goods from tuna fishers.
