The VENEZUELAN CRISIS

The current situation in Venezuela is an eye opener to the country, where the crisis that this nation is facing is something that we have to consider as lesson for our future.

The enormous and staggering  inflation rate of this nation is killing them and turns very hard to recover, unless drastic political and international amendments are done to avert further catastrophes for its people and nation.

Unemployment

Unemployment rate of about 17 percent in Venezuela is something that add more to the poverty of the nation. Likewise in the \Philippines, the situation can be averted due to Filipinos are able and adaptable  which is our culture, that it can sustain and survive on situations to avoid such in the future,if ever.

The management of population in the country can be treated as an advantage to make further economic growth, and use them to acquire  more resources made by our ability to supply manual labor abroad.

The OFW  phenomenon today which is  surviving the country economically is a certain fact that human resources in the country is a very viable method to save and contribute more for the economy. Te view of over population in the country is an issue  not apparent at all, that it is more contrary that we should not hinder or discourage population growth of Filipinos for the demand of global labor is in our position as indicated at he current. The human resources in short is giving us more economy than poverty, and inverted opinion is reversed for the matter.

The situation and views  of our population is not applicable for the Philippines due to our culture has been adapted now to  dominate global labor supply as proven many years ago. Instead of setting views against our 100 million Filipino population today, we can  asses that the statistics of our growth rate is proportionate to our ability to use population resources to our advantage, and this position is  increasing in our favor.

The comparison of Venezuelan crisis is the reverse  of the Philippine situation. We are fortunate of our condition with regards to unemployment because our adaptability to the danger of economy is far to distinguish it with our resiliency.

The opinion of our population in reference to 100 million Filipinos therefore is not justified to be applicable for the Philippines, for we are already in a good position  as dominant in the OFW market.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing is the main issue for the country in order to resolve further the improvement of the economy. This sector of industry should be given priority today to lay the foundation of  bigger economy  of the country because it will  secure the employment sector of  the country.

The Bells and freedom

Freedom is always in our heart, and we have proven them in many instances in our history.

 The Balangiga bells represents the depths of out love for freedom, as it symbolizes the ringings of those longings of our ancestors and predecessors that this generation now enjoys.

The bells are the lives lost during the process, and its return will bring the souls in contentment.

The call of the president  to return them is just. It belongs to Filipinos that forever signifies our fight for independence against any colonizers of the motherland.

Manufacturing and Jobs

Drugs is just one problem of our society, and it cannot represent the generality of policies to be founded on  for our governance specially when lives of our own people becomes the subject  in the process and implementation.

Jobs is the main policy  that rules  all.
All other problems that confronts our society is solvable by job generation that will vaporize all criminality, that as accepted, economy is the bottom line of all.

Health, Education, enjoyment and satisfaction of life is all economic based.

Make jobs for everyone, and you cannot see drug addicts and pushers in the city trading and vending at least, they're minimized and eventually erased  proportionately as economy is grown.

The government must be the lead factor in creating and revitalizing industries in the country that is untapped  by private sectors at the moment.

Manufacturing is the greatest sector that will need attention and the job generator in the  goal for bigger economy.

We must equalize the ratio of population and manufacturing in the country to solve criminality and  specifically the subject of drugs issue. More over, we must  target job surplus in the country, a sign that we have accomplished them.


All sorts of industries and manufacturing must be filled by the government in partnership with private sectors, liberalization and and easier regulations is the key. We must exceed manufacturing more than that with the data of China.

There's no other way to solve everything, but through industries and manufacturing. Drugs is just in the sideways, not as major policies and ordinances of a government that wrongly treat human lives for productivity, they will be solved in other formulas which is manufacturing that create jobs for them.

JOBS

Jobs is the answer to country' woes. The drug war undergoing today is a misplacement of policies and priorities that the  right approach to the problem is not directed the core of issues in the country which  poverty and the loss of opportunities of the people  here is the main cause of all.

Criminalities and drugs are tentacles of the main issue of poverty. The OFW phenomenon in the country is the sign of it. When our people go abroad and find jobs for a living,  it directly means that our government cannot provide jobs anymore, and the absence of livelihood is a reflection of mis-governance.

Jobs is the asnwer to our problems to drugs. When we put every single one of us into a good job, and make everyone productive, there will  give everyone no chance to try drugs. The enjoyment and contentment of people with having jobs and earning enough guarantees a happy family that will surely decrease the incidence of drugs significantly.

Though we cannot eliminate everything, jobs would make substantial reduction of these problems if jobs is our surplus.

How can we create jobs?
Revolutionize manufacturing, business, trade and commerce  in the country, and everything will  be solved.

When everyone has jobs, able and satisfied to feed the needs of their families in education, and health alone, and opportunities becomes substantial for good living conditions, none will resort or try drugs and other vices, that would invert the rate of  criminality.

In the case of China, their huge population is now turned into an advantage and a good tool today. with their wide and surplus of labor force available, china is now able to sustain its growth and production through manufacturing and now known as  the factory of the world.

 The same that we can attain and replicate the growth of china. The |Philippines can achieve  through the means of revolutionizing our factories immediately and see later that we will defeat the bullies and lord  them all soon.

China Assisted projects

There is nothing wrong working with China, what we need to see and find out in the situation is to  see if our acts are wrong.

there is nothing with our partnership with this giant economy , what's misplaced in the thing is  ourselves being in that difficult position  that our recklessness may over rule  something for the protection of our interests under this uneven relationship with the Goliath.

To be a friend with China is a thing to be seen deeper, because strings are always  attached in  those assistance, loans, and projects that china is giving in advance to the country, that  might put us in the bad light later on.

Our patrimonial interest must not be sacrificed in all dealings present or undergoing , moreover, self-interests of China will always prevail over when time comes.

If we are already overwhelmed by their friendliness, soon  our ability to complain becomes dead and waned. We will always be threatened with war. That's the fear that would  result after  our relation with this giant goes to the point at it is no longer bearable andcontrollable The worst is when investments, and loans become equities.

If truly, we should take our lessons in history, that under the spaniards, the americans, and the japanese, we were controlled by them and our natural resources was only their best interest and exchanged, it is nsot their interest to help us, that in reality our colonizers took advantage of everything because we are a poor country, and  dealing with a rich friend is never a good experience at all.

Manufacturing , a solution

The rise of china's technology is not by accident, but it was by self-willingness to acquire it by all means of difficulty. Yet, the situation for the Philippines is the same not a problem, but our own willingness to get them.

China have shown us the ways and the path to progress through manufacturing, and  brought fruits on them in the same way that we should too  struggle for gain.

We only lack manufacturing in the country, that for the so many products good for exports, we have ignored them and let china do the job.

Why do we let others give the chance of manufacturing instead that we can? china grabbed the world\s superpower in manufacturing, and they are now enjoying the benefits of it. They are now dictating the world in terms of trade.

The silk road, the WTO, and among others that china has become the leader  economy of the world, is what a sign that we should not let others take those chances yet better, take them ourselves.

World's super manufacturing power

Robotics has come to China's manufacturing and this would mean that the World's super manufacturing power is increasingly more powerful to dominate the entire world.

With this development, we should expect that the growth of manufacturing in terms of productivity and speed of this giant is not stopping, and even more will invade futher global markets and eventually will control the world.

The Philippines should not be left behind, and the more we see these information, we should fight back by building our own grounds of our local manufacturing and defend.

The politicis in the country is immense that we hade already overlooked our situation in manufacturing, but instead enrich more politics and resulted to the depleting resources of our factories and our capabilities to increase our manufacturing base.

Revenues of the government is not substantial, and it cannot support the basic needs and services of the government due to productivity is low in the country brought about by our low manufacturing sectors.

The government should compare datas in order to find new programs for the government. We should be in the business of looking over the shoulders   of our neighbors and peep on their new secrets in economy that we should be in catching business with them.

China is one of the biggest model in world economy that we should study and learn to make such growth for our country and its people.

MANUFACTRUING

The information that the US dollar will rise against the peso is  a bad news for the economy since we are an import dependent country eversince, and its effects will be catastrophic due to the poverty condition of the majority of the population is in that level.

Manufacturing is a key for the miracle of our economy, it will not only solve unemployment, but it will be the cure to education, poverty, and peace and order of the country,

china has shown us how to be a power country, and to be like such, it does not say that wee need to be of great land mass like china, but rather, it needs efficiency and productivity in every aspect of industries.

Drug war will not be a thing under an industrialized economy, once we are in a surplus of production and people are happy and contend with their lives,  there will be  decrease on the problem drugs in the country. \manufacturing is the remedy of the problems of the country.

Robotics shown reflects the progress of manufacturing in China, and the Philippines the same must catch up to defend the country from further degradation of our resources through importations, and instead look outward to face the challenges of economy in the fields of trade and commerce.   

the rising of the dollar in the next days is a sign that we should now engage heavier in factories that will create decline in the spendings of our foreign reserves.

THE CHALLENGE OF CHINA

The rapid economic growth of China and its influence to the world via trade is something that we need to be careful and take guard of our sovereignty in the area of commerce and trade.

We cannot left to rely on the practically of trading relationship with this giant, as we need to be reminded that we should build our own economy as defense.

First of all, jobs for the people is our utmost concern, and in so doing,building and strengthening our industries and furthering more shall be the core ambition of our government.

Monetary support, aids,  assistance that will be paid back in certain period must not overtake our excitement or greediness towards easy money from China offered. When we forget that these offers has strings and interests that eventually make us suffer in the future that instead of growth makes the country suffer more, shall aver our direction to rethink dealing deeper with China.

We should make ourselves China in manufacturing, trade and strength, counter the future of colonialism by trade, rather let us trade the world more than that made by China.

A cultural revolution is needed here just like China did.

DEATH BY CHINA

The situation with China's great manufacturing is founded on a mission to control the world with trade and commerce, and being in that control, you a dominance  in foreign power realtions.

What had become from their manufacturing is about wealth.  Financial power is that important today for a nation, that without such resources you cannot control the world, and the signs are already there that China is gaining forward in its goal to become the largest and the greatest in the world.

What does this mean to the Philippines and to the rest of the world? Simple, the effects to the economy and manufacturing of America is one basis that made catastrophic effects of China. Our country should think and study hard the effects and influence of the economic power of China, that in the same way, we should use the weapon of manufacturing and production to counter the offensive of any foreign countries to dominate our politics in trade and dictate our lives made by Chinese products.

The loss of enormous manufacturing in the US, its jobs lost, is a certain matter to confront the situation seriously and amend our rules to counter the effects of economic loss of the country brought about by the onslaught of Chinese products. We should to shift our focus to manufacturing in the country which is considered as very weak as compared to china, that for now the attention must be for the growth of our own manufacturing sector. We need tremendous re alignment of our resources to concentrate on this sector in order to contain the economic meltdown of the country that will counter the problems brewed ahead.

We know the fact that we are very low on technologies and products that we import everything at our kind of condition today. that the system is wrong that wee import everything for our own domestic needs, and we lost so much foreign currency resources that brings ill effects to our capabilities to function well as a nation. As the situation calls it, China is a threat of our future, that unless we take rebuilding of our manufacturing industries, we will end up later in economic poverty of irreversible condition.

The unemployment int he country, and the loss of job opportunities here prompted our people to go offshore for jobs. The trends of OFWs in the country has its hard effects for our people, and the more we neglect the matter of creating factories, business, trade and commerce in the country, the more that the situation may get worse and even may result to a condition of anarchy ahead.

Our governmental values must be changed. our politics must be remodeled that it may aptly address the needs and requirements of this country of its utmost and pressing needs today. Our systems, politics, and culture must be re-oriented or re-designed to become pro filipino, that it may only serve the interest of our culture and its people. Without these, we cannot submit to understand that we need to ignite growth for the manufacturing sector because in this sector we can create jobs , business, commerce and spur economic activities that will result to the prosperity for all of us. To change our outlook to recognize and believe in ourselves, we can achieve what we dream for, and evenly defeat other foreign influences that deprive our people of wealth and prosperity.

China rising is about our death if we will continue in uncontrolled and unrestricted means of receiving China. We must know that we have responsibilities to make and defend our own local industries that brings our country solid and strong. Unless we see these things, we will be led to destruction and death caused by China.

INVESTMENT DEALS WITH CHINA

There are risks in everything specially with the current investment deals with China that could end up in troublesome specially when undertaken by  a small country like in the Asean, or the Philippines for example,  that eventually becomes a victim when projects turned up to be  in failure, what comes to be  expected the end of what seems to be a miracle solution to the economic problem of this country may result the otherwise.

When investments turned into equity, like in the experiences of other countries is one sign that we should be careful about. There's a similar case in the US  that china wanted to turn their unpaid accounts by their counterparts to gain equity or ownership of lands as a settlement.

For the Philippines, the fear s justifiable because our economy is incapable to be responsible enough when the inevitable happens. It will mean disaster when the behavior of China is unchanged and dominant every time.

At first, we may be treated fairly in the beginning, but in the long run we may become subservient when debts run high and becomes difficult for us to pay in debts in return.

China is a new frontier for us, and we need to be careful and get excited that everything must be studied and done under good calculation. We should not open wide and accept everything when tempted by their offers, we should be slow and careful.

SELF-RELIANCE

The only way to overcome foreign aggression isur i to become self reliant. We should enrich our industries to become non dependent of China because we import everything from them.

We need to reduce our imports from China or anywhere else in the world. But reducing importations means increasing our domestic industries that will replace these importations, that is produce products locally that we import. It means localized everything, in order to avoid buying them from abroad or overseas. To accept this proposition,

To accept this idea, now is the time to create big industries in the country, starting from car manufacturing, spread into everything that we need locally, and eventually create more and  gain surpluses for exports and earn dollars.

Self-reliance is what we need at the moment. Everything must be under our own control and avoid foreign power and domination in this country.

There are so many fields of industries that we need to put up in the country. For example, the trains and coaches that we need for the LRT should  be locally produced for dependability of supply and maintenance of parts. Expertise will also be developed and benefited from it, and of course employment is a factor, and spur of industries will be the eventual gains of the country. Self- reliance is the core of our goals.

There are plenty others of industries needed to be pursued for development and its contributions to the economy will be very significant. The more we create more industries the bigger will be the revenues for the country. With that, we don't to increase VAT taxes but rather will cause it to be reduced with bigger and wider tax base.





THE LINK

Industrialization

Our country needs the leap for industrialization in order to compete satisfactorily with other emerging economies in the south east asia, or even more to say, to the rest of the world.

Withoput industrialization, we can never be secured with our defense in globalized war on trade and stability of the country economically and politically as a country.

We can never be at an stabilized condition unless we do not face and deal with industrialization as the reality in today's modern world.

The Emergence of the China powerhouse.

We should not rely or depend on foreign sources for our economy.  The emergence of China as a powerhouse in the region must not make us blind or forget to venture in industrialization as a means to counter and defend our country against the dominance of China in this case.

We have been overwhelmed by the cheap products from China, and this must cause us to be alarmed that the effects of our dependence  and reliance in imports may not create health for our own economy, but instead our domestic capacity to supply the same for our demands in local labor, poverty, and basic services as needed by our population that will come from self-sufficiency and sustainability internally  will be threatened as not secured.

Industrialization

Industrialization is the answer today in order to combat our foreign dependence given by countries like China that will one day will cease and end. In order to be self-sustained and fully functional as a government and as a nation, we should divert our attention to make up with our dwindling industries, factories, and revert the situation in order to reverse the condition and make self-sufficiency attainable.

We have at the moment very small capacity of factories operating in the country, and mostly all are foreign investments. Though foreign ventures and investments are forces for our industrialization and foothold for our economy, we cannot left tot hem in their sector our future of industrialization, instead, local capacities must be developed in order to counter our dependence on foreigners that will one may cease or end. there's no better way to attain security unless we ourselves will filipinize our local industries, and from there also we can start our own technology and edevelopments brought about by these foreign investors and businessmen engaged in high technological products which is of high demand in the market globally.

Industrialization is synonymous with factories and employment generation. If we industrialize our economy, it means there is a rapid revolution of labor requirements of factory workers and demands o f labor which will be just in our own yards compared to pursuing foreign jobs for our people. Industrialization is about speaking of factories, industries that will be opened, technologies that will be discovered and developed, growth for our manufacturing sectors, and mostly a chance to dominate world markets thru modern products made locally, and therefore an assurance that jobs will be in accordance with our own population proportionately.

Population growth of the Philippines:

The problems of other countries like in the continents of europe, Japan, and many others who are suffering declined population growth while having for them technologies in their hands, is another factor of advantage for the country at the moment. The population growth of the Philippines is a positive and advantage factor right now, due to it is an indication that we have a sustainable population to support our dream of industrialization thru this population growth.

Instead of viewing population as a situation on the negative aspect, we should view it in the positive.  This can be proven by our recent records of exporting OFWs  worldwide as an indicator that population is an advantage in the Philippines. Without that population growth, the world may not be able to survive today without the scattered  Filipinos overseas workers. The high demands of Filipino hirings abroad is a strong sign that population is an advantage for the country today, that when the global supply of labor becomes a shortage, the richness of filipino OFWs ready for deployment is a sign that our country should not restrict population in this view.

Therefore, population should be a factor of considering industrialization in the Philippines for the reason that if we ourselves will tap this resources which is in our own hands at the moment, there will be great economic power for the country in the future. If we will think to combine population and industrialization today as a twin force to attain economic power, it is in the data of our population records and rates that we can make things real in this regard.

Industrialization and Population:

These two can dance  together, and they need each other for the future of the country if you believe. It is in this aspect that industrialization can thrive easily in the Philippines due to the rendering of population as a source of our greater economy.  The only lacking today is that industrialization is absent in the country, with that , we should harness the power of our people in order to attain the global power we need. We only need to traverse the side of technology to get the matter done in industrialization.


Foreign Investments in technology:

Foreign technological import is needed today, if not, we cannot get off the ground of our dream for better and sustainable economy. The means to acquire new technology is thru the gates of inviting foreign investments in the fields of high technological industries, because we  need to be opened with the emergence of new technologies and gain transfer of them.

Insatiable needs of technology:

the government must lead and make an atmosphere of technology in the country and make its people hunger and seek inventions, research, developments, and support to have access to these industries that may lead our country learned and experts later on.  The government must be the lead factor in finding technology thru bilateral relations with those advanced countries  to enter and invest in the country in those fields that we need to acquire technology. If the government can do these agreements and trade relations with those countries, we can learn those technologies thru trade and commerce means as a way.
