Why many Filipinos remain poor despite a growing economy

Siguro kasi uneven pa rin ang distribution ng opportunities
Agree but disagree...
Hindi "siguro" dahil ang totoo ay tunay na hindi patas ang pagbabahagi ng mga opportunidad sa bawat pamayanan. Ngunit isa lamang ito sa mga dahilan. Subalit iyan ay isang dulot lamang ng masmalalim na dahilan sa mga kawing na dahilan.
Ang bansa ngayon ay humaharap sa komplikado at masalimuot na sitwasyon. Dagdag din ang usaping geopolitics na nakakaapekto sa bansa at maraming iba pa.

Politicians can pray and at the same time wash their hands. They have OCDs. Well, they are religiously washing their hands.

because thats not our economy. Ang ekonomiya tumatakbo sa bansa ay ekonomiya ng dayuhan at mga pribadong sektor na nagpapatakbo ng ekonomiya. Walang kontrol ang gobywrno sa ekonomiya ng bansa. Kaya tayo ay mahirap parin

That is the economy.
It is the business of the land.
It is how PH economy works.
It is part and parcel of life and economy in the PH.
Unless you re-wire the mindset and the systemic culture of corruption in the PH.
We only see the officials in the PH government, but do we see it in ourselves, as an individual, a citizen of the PH.
 
karamihan kasi sa di nagaasenso is tamad. ang iba adik sa sugal. maraming mahihirap nagsusugal pa. tngnan mo mga chinese na nagbubusiness sa atin.yumayaman kasi marunong mag savings and invest. maraming pumapasok na pera kunti ang ang pa labas.
 
This will be a mouthful of thoughts. Medyo kalat ang aking thoughts.

00:01:41 - Philippines has a lot of money but the masses don't feel it.
00:01:59 - Gross Domestic Product(GDP) vs Gross National Income(GNI)
  • Philippine GDP vs other countries
  • Philippine GNI vs other countries
00:06:01 - Philippine knowledge of fund disbursement/Fiscal Management
00:10:29 - Food Poverty (Php 21 per person per meal)
00:12:32 - Infrastructure/Logistics Problem
00:13:59 - Filipino mindset of buying local vs import
00:14:18 - Law of Comparative Advantage
00:14:46 - Agriculture/Agrarian Reform/Government-Businesses-Farmers Collaboration (Recognizing the problem, solution, actions)
00:18:45 - Buy local products/Tariff
00:20:18 - Industrial Bonging
00:22:14 - Future of Energy Production in the Philippines
00:23:46 - Recognizing the Foundations and Critical Industries for a Growing Philippine Economy (Philippine Bath Tub)
00:31:52 - Recognizing the Solution to Philippine Logistics Problem/Recognizing the Philippine Postal Corporation (PhilPost) Role
00:35:09 - Legislating a new Philippine zip code
00:37:34 - E-commerce and Agriculture (Barangay and Taobao Villages)
00:43:15 - Philippine Economy(Is it on the right track?)
00:49:14 - Philippines have a problem of too much excess cash but not utilized in productive purposes

karamihan kasi sa di nagaasenso is tamad. ang iba adik sa sugal. maraming mahihirap nagsusugal pa. tngnan mo mga chinese na nagbubusiness sa atin.yumayaman kasi marunong mag savings and invest. maraming pumapasok na pera kunti ang ang pa labas.
You are generalizing Chinese. Saan lugar ba naninirahan 'yang Chinese na iyan?
Bakit kaunti ang inilalabas na pera at marami ang pumapasok na pera?
Hindi ba nakakapagtaka kung saan nagmula ang 'yung pera?
At ano ang uri ng kanyang business?

Filipinos have a tendency to look outside or tend to look up to foreigners because they see themselves small or belittle themselves about what they can do.
Ito ay culture of colonialism.
Reflection nito ay sa mga produkto lokal laban sa produktong mula sa labas (local product vs imported product).
Ngunit sa isang banda ay mainam din na tumingin sa labas upang maksagap ng mga bagong tuklas o kaisipan o mga idea o mga inspirasyon.

Ang sugal ay isang investment din pero sobra at ang taas ng risk.
The nature of the game is different.
Ngunit depende kung ano ang kayang isugal at kakayahan na mag-take ng risk.
Ang savings ay para sa conservative.
Mabagal ang paglago.
How about investment sa sarili, skills-wise?
At overtime ay mag-bubunga rin.

Ang mga OFW ay risk taker na kayang isugal, kahit ayaw nila ngunit kailangan gawin, na iwan ang kanilang pamilya at magpa-alila(DH) ngunit hindi lahat, upang umunlad ang antas ng kanilang pamumuhay.

Marahil 'yung mga tambay ay imaginative o meron mga ideas.
Ngunit ang imagination o ideas will stay a thought unless acted on.
Turning ideas into action requires a structured approach.
Kung ito ay tungkol sa business o kung ano pa man 'yan na subject matter.
Kulang sa realization na upang mag-materialize ang isang idea o imagination ay kailangan aksyunan ito.
Kailangan pukpukin ang naka-usling pako.
Ito ang hindi kayang i-master ng mga Pilipino.
Marahil ay kulang sa suporta o kulang sa edukasyon o kulang sa kaalaman o kulang sa pag-desisyon o walang accountability o kulang/walang disiplina sa sarili.

They say putting a fresh tomato into a basket with rotten ones will cause it to rot very quickly.
Ibig sabihin nito ay nakadepende sa environment (community) na kinabibilangan o ginagalawan ng isang individual kung ano ang magiging outcome niya.
 
The "Peking Order" in the East Asian countries vs "Mandala System" in the pre-colonial Southeast Asian (SEA) countries.

For context:
This is a discussion of not just SEAblings vs South Korea in terms of music or pop but also the difference in strengths, and advantages in economy, culture, people and history of each Southeast Asian countries (SEA) and as a region. Also, how Southeast Asian countries (SEA) endure/ride the wave of economic crisis that came. Where do the Southeast Asian countries (SEA) stand now and in the future?

What is interesting in this vlog is the "Peking Order" or "Old Hierarchy System" that played throughout the history of East Asian Countries vs "Mandala System" in the pre-colonial Southeast Asian countries.

During the May 20 Senate hearing, Sen. Pia Cayetano got emotional as she pushed back against Sen. Risa Hontiveros' remark that it was as if nothing had happened after the May 13 Senate shooting. Hontiveros later clarified that she meant that she was referring to the Senate's institutional posture.

I was talking with my friend yesterday from HongKong. He said, problem sa Philippines is the government here is supposed to help the people to build business, instead yung government ni-ninigosyo yung tao. He said sa HK yung government nila pag meron kang business is susupport ka all thru out, the more na mag eemploy ka ng tao from their country mas bibigyan ka ng government. Ang payo na lang nya if you have enough money, get out of the Philippines.

I have a business here, but nauubos ako sa tax, and pati mga kung ano2ng hinihingi ng government, like renewal ng permits, mga tax every month, quarter at annual. Andami nilang hinihingi na kung ano anong business requirements, na need mong bayaran. Parang yung puhunan ko dun na lang napupunta.
