198 BILLION PHASE OUT COST OF JEEPNEY IN THREE YEARS

The reality of cost for the jeepney modernization program is appalling to know that the government can outlay such huge amount of funds to modernize the jeepney under the question of sustainability and for the advantage of the country.

The program should have been properly studied  and proposed to address the priorities of our needs and avoid stifling the quality and better position of attending to the intended jeepney modernization program under the unequivocal patriotic gains of the country in using them for our ow national car industry. 

Imagine the amount of 198 billion in three years outlay without benefits or return to our economy and industry? New jeeps will roll in the streets and it will be safer , yes, but can you check the condition of our economy if it has become safe then? There might be loans unpaid by operators and drivers under the scheme as aftermath, yet the motor industry of the country remains stuck.

The idea here is to convince our government to use such amount of funding to put into motion the car industry in the country by using the excuse of jeepney modernization program as a mode of start.

There is no more difficulty of technology used  as perpetual reason of our people not to enter in the industry of car making. If Indonesia has overcome the odds, then why can't we? This reasoning of our inability in the fronts of technology is no longer acceptable. Such were repeatedly given as excuses for so long.

Its bad to see that the Japanese will benefit in the amount of transaction for the 198 billion pesos phase out program, it must be made of use rightly for the greater interest of the people translating them to jobs, skills, bigger economic activity, reduced importations, and strengthening the peso, making us able to serve our foreign loans and obligations.
