The Philippines needs to gear up to exploit the US-China “trade war”!

The Philippines needs to gear up to exploit the US-China “trade war”!

A trade war between the United States and China presents a wealth of opportunity to the Philippines — if, of course, Filipinos are up to the challenge of seizing them. Up for grabs is a bonanza for suppliers of goods and services that the US is set to cut China out of if this “war”…

Why are Chinese workers WORTH MORE than Filipino workers in the job market?

Posted on March 3, 2019 By benign0 12 Comments on Why are Chinese workers WORTH MORE than Filipino workers in the job market?
Why are Chinese workers WORTH MORE than Filipino workers in the job market?

For all the noise about the growing number of Chinese workers flooding the Philippines, very few “activists” have raised this most important question of all. Why do Chinese workers attract bigger wages than Filipino workers? Furthermore, it seems employers of Chinese workers in the Philippines are willing to take significant effort and incur the cost…

The late Henry Sy is NOT the bad guy in the story of Philippine poverty. FILIPINOS are.

The late Henry Sy is NOT the bad guy in the story of Philippine poverty. FILIPINOS are.

Last we recall, the Philippines is propped up by overseas foreign workers (OFWs) to the tune of 10% of its economy and Filipino households down to the lower middle classes (a household demographic range where many commie “activists” were raised) are sustained by armies of servants paid slave wages. So when we see chi-chi “activists”…

China knows how things “work” in the Philippines

Indeed, the Chinese know how thing “work” in the Philippines. They have, after all, been prominent figures in Philippine industry since the Middle Ages. They know enough to fly above the radars of the natives and deal directly with the powers-that-be. That strategy of knowing and dealing with the right people continues to this day….

Will IKEA be good for the Philippine economy?

Filipinos are excited about news that Swedish furniture retail giant IKEA will soon be opening in the Philippines. The question is, where will IKEA be sourcing its merchandise? “Activists” have been denouncing how China is supposedly slowly taking over the Philippine economy, yet many of these snowflakes seem to fail to realise how IKEA reportedly…

Filipino Twitter Titas shriek “The sky is falling!!” on prospect of Chinese telcos entering Philippine market

Self-described feminist and “accidental writer” Beth Angsioco in a tweet recently posed this question to the Titas of the Philippine Twitterverse… Will you subscribe to a Chinese telco? Throwing this question to Twitterverse. True to form of Philippine Titadom, the responses were shrill. There is hope though. One of them, after deciding “Absolutely not!”, at…

Filipinos need to get better at killing in order to prosper

The seeming aversion of Filipinos to large-scale infrastructure projects — the sorts needed to achieve the vast economies of scale needed to compete in the global market likely stems from the Filipinos’ heritage of smallness. This prescient snippet quoted from Nick Joaquin’s seminal piece describes the underlying character of Philippine culture that is at the…

Basic principles of inflation explained for dummies

So-called “investigative” journalist Raissa Robles had a laugh at my Twitter post the other day about Philippine inflation. She wasn’t specific about why she thought I didn’t know what I was talking about though and I never got the chance to ask since she blocked me. What’s up with people like that? They block others…
