It would seem as though Filipino Gen-Xers share a sense of entitlement with their US counterparts. If you'd built this business yourself, versus being born into it, you might be more inclined to do whatever it takes (within the legal and ethical realm) to rebuild the enterprise. Whether intentional or not, you're teaching your sons that stuff (like an air-cooled 911) is more valuable than demonstrating an I'm-going-to-scratch-and-claw-and-fight-to-save-the-family-business-and-support-the-people-who-helped-me-get-where-I-am-today attitude. Shame on you.

And, no, I will not remove my previous post (here's wagering you've made the same PM entreaty to others whose posts are less than completely supportive of your request for handouts). Double shame on you.
