The new information that Vietnam is now in the drawing boards of manufacturing its own brand of cars and motorcycles falls to be a daunting knowledge that such feat of the local Vietnamese firm to invest in this industry is staggering to the loss of the Philippines who is losing ranks in economy in the region, and by that respect, we honor more and welcome such loss by permitting ourselves not to enter in the industry and let our neighbors make and manufacture for their own their cars and trucks as well a motorcycles is self-euthansia of our economy.
Instead of harboring the mind of economic conquers for the Philippines, we disallow ourselves to go and get other's economy by our production and manufacturing power in the region. Instead of thinking that we can conquer market shares in the Asean, we let our neighbors take the business and opportunities as well as transactions and earn profits by them. Soon, they will control our markets and vow to them of economic intervention.
Acutally, Vietnam has already dominated our rice productions by conquering our rice market share. We heavily import rice from Vietnam. It means even in agriculture, we are already conquered and lost.
The Cars, trucks, and car making in Vietnam is a sign that their economy is flourishing, and naturally becoming a superpower in the region. While back in 1970, they were boat people in Palawan, refugees of their war, but now, we are the ones going to vow at them.
By this news piece, what are we going to do? I think the actions made by Vietnam should replicate in us, that we should use our crab mentality features into this that will kill competition among our neighbors.
Even in the subject of Jeepney modernization alone, we refuse to built them by our own brand name and let Isuzu and Mitsubishi do the production.
Our eternal admission that we don't have the technology is already overridden by Vietnam in this sense. That if Vietnam can do it, why not the Philippines where we've very ahead of them since time?
It's the government's job to convert the jeepney modernization program into a national brand of car for Filipinos, because if not, the iconic jeepney should give birth to our own car industry in the country, and not import new products from Vietnam next year.
