119 p.; 22 cm. This small volume is about successful filipino workers. It documents the role of Filipino traditional values in the lives of the respondents in their rise from poverty to comfort---i. e., from street beggar to business entrepreneur, from balut vendor to corporate lawyer, from security guard to corporate executive, from janitor to bureau director. I listened to the stories of those people on two occasions: once, when I wandered the streets of Manila looking for a job and was one of them, and later as a professional anthropologist conducting research on Filipino work values from 1997 to 1999. Their stories have impressed me; hence, i have decided to share them to other Filipinos, particularly the young who are just starting their careers. They might find lessons in the experiences of these successful respondents. Filipe Landa Jocano. Work Values GSL 121 J58 2000 9716220111 ISBN OCLRC 181025 20260730084030.0 6753
