- ... that when Kevin L. Tan became "the youngest chief executive among major Philippine conglomerates", he was at a wedding and did not know about his own appointment?

The article notes: "Philippine tycoon Andrew Tan resigned Monday as chief executive of Alliance Global Group, and the family-run conglomerate named his son as the company's new CEO. Kevin Tan, 38, was appointed CEO effective Monday, while his 68-year-old father remains as Alliance Global's chairman. The son becomes the youngest chief executive among major Philippine conglomerates."

The article notes: "At 38, Kevin may be the youngest tycoon in the country as his appointment to AGI’s top post makes him responsible for the investment holding company that his father, billionaire Dr. Andrew L. Tan, founded. ... Even though he has worked alongside his father since he was 21 and from day one he was being groomed to succeed him, the announcement of his promotion still came as a surprise to him. Literally. “I was attending a wedding abroad and I got a lot of messages congratulating me. I thought, for what? Then I looked at my email. My dad had emailed the board that we were going to announce some changes in the company and that was one of them — that I was being appointed as the new CEO.”"

Hook good, QPQ good. Article is DYK-appropriate, although the template is a little wrong here as Cunard isn't the creator -- he rewrote it after it turned out the prior text was copyvio. Nonetheless, that's nitpicking. The problem is this is currently the subject of a nasty AfD (I found it a day or so ago while looking at where one of my essays is linked from and went "holy hell, I'm not touching that"). It looks as though it's going to be a "some poor admin writes a three-paragraph rationale for 'no consensus'" situation; will approve or decline when the chips fall where they may.
