TRANSFERRING TECHNOLOGY TO TRANSFORM THE PHILIPPINES




This is  about continuance on our episodes on tackling the subject matter of technology transfer for the country where, in many discussions before as seen in the social media, are found to be the deficient attitude of our leaders, officials, to term technology transfer as the means to gain advance technology for the country and move forward for industrialization.  Our subject matter of the Jeepney modernization program was our advocacy to "turn on" our industrialization to make our own car manufacturing.  

In the trips abroad of Chinese leader DengXiaoPeng in the 1980s, he'd witnessed the advance countries technology,  where eventually, he wanted to gain advance technologies for China and opened his country for such arrangement of joint ventures and partnerships that would exchange for advanced technology transfer. That was the start.

Because our condition today is reflected with growing national debt to as much as 6.5 trillion, the inflation is rising, peso falling, a deficit between imports and exports, and BOPs has reach to as much as eating our GDPs to 42 percent, and the continuance of the government to seek further foreign loans, are indicators that we are heading to a catastrophic scenarios that might lead us to an Sri Lankan experience as well as the Venezuelan crisis ahead.

The poor performance of our local currency becomes the problem and the cause of all. It is due to the low turn out of foreign currencies flowing in to the country due to low OFWs remittances, low exports, and the increased  importations and the excessive spendings of the government in projects for the build, build, build program of the administration for this year of 2017. It is no longer proportionate in manners that our financial condition is becoming affected as released recently by the national treasury.

Technology transfer is our topic here, and why we need it at this time is due for our proposed preparation of becoming an industrialized country. Even though the government today has no inclination to it, we just espouse it here in our blog on the advocacy and make them possible even in theory.

Here is no longer a theory, but proven experience given by China who've reached industrialized status because of its partnerships and joint venture agreements in exchange for advance technology from the west. 

The proposed program of Jeepney modernization in the country is very very good, but there some things that must be considered by the government in pushing for it. We need to acquire the modernization through a long term benefit, and use the opportunity to have our own car manufacturing and industrialize the economy of the country and technology transfer becomes the preparation because in many times this has been the hard topic used  against car manufacturing.

Well, the argument of self-manufactured cars for the jeepney modernization is being debated, yet in our angle, it is better to use our resources to realize industrialization by the excuse of the modernization program. 

Capitalization? 
It was in a report that the government will outlay as a subsidy for the program an amount of 27 billion pesos, which upon viewing it, can be enough to kick start the car manufacturing under partnership with any kind of car manufactures in Europe or elsewhere.

Instead of spending without any beneficial result in the future, it is better for us to use such funding, amount, to materialize capitalization for the program of car manufacturing of course under partnership.

"Over the past 30 years, PRC leaders have adopted numerous policies to encourage technology transfer. Leveraging foreign interest in its huge market, China’s leaders expected companies to provide access to high-tech products and systems as evidence of their commitment to China’s growth and development. As concerns about climate change and global warming have mounted, China’s technology targets have increasingly focused on advanced technology that could help reduce the country’s carbon emissions. This has added a new dimension—and new arguments made by PRC leaders—to China’s pursuit of foreign technology: Developed countries have a moral obligation to share environmental technology if the world is to avert the threat of catastrophic and irreversible climate change. Such arguments have increased pressure on foreign companies to share advanced environmental technology with China’s domestic industry"   CHINA BUSINESS REVIEW

With this knowledge above, it will be just of a little effort to travel and seek partners for our dreamed car manufacturing, and debunk the myth that we are not capable of advanced technology.

The way we prolong and refuse industrialization is an acceptance of our guilt that we put down our culture and remain to be in a position as the lackeys of the world.
