CAR MANUFACTURING AND THE PHILIPPINES

Why is the subject of car manufacturing is important to be given attention today, that it should be accepted and viewed as an economic driver of the country?

And that, why is it important that we should take the opportunity of jeepney modernization program of the government must be the means, or excuse to jump into this industry now, and initiate both programs?

Well, everybody knows that car manufacturing makes an economy.

That car manufacturing will spur trade and commerce in the country, an employment generator, revenue source, and most of all technology transfer will be gained and flow to create more industries that would contribute to industrialization of the country.

Other than car manufacturing, ship building, aviation, marine, military, modernization , and most of all self- reliance.

Vietnam has already initiated its car manufacturing, that at this information, something in our governance must take the initiative to race with the growth of our neighbors and level the pride.

Why do we refuse car manufacturing?

Technology is not the reason, it's our negative attitude towards technology makes the reason.

In one television talk show about Jeepney Modernization represented by the LTFRB and the Piston, made this admission on the side of the government to use the complaint of our technology issue being not capable to car manufacturing today. 

While the party on the side of Piston asserting car manufacturing is being denied by the government that modernization of jeepneys must start from offshore, the importation of vehicles, parts from Japan mostly.

The admission, or answer by our official in position of the government that it cannot engage into car manufacturing because of our poor technology and know how is self-ruining.

  

As in the video, the Piston presented its view on car manufacturing, while the side of the government admits, that 

"Hindi Kaya, for how long, we don't know" -LTFRB

Practically, what we see is the blatant refusal of the government to enter into manufacturing, that the modernization program is opposed by the jeepney sector in the scheme that it will hurt the economy due to it will spend our kept dollar reserves.

Technology transfer is all deemed not viable on their perspective, they've perceived technology transfer as a thing impossible to happen.

On the other side of the moderator, upon accepting the argument to be true, failed to assist the idea to be taken to where she would possibly suggest. She is not an advocate of technology, manufacturing, trade, because her experience was from the government. Knowing she found good reason of manufacturing and technology transfer, she bats to dispute and assail the proposal not submitted in the forum of congress, and help the situation thru her capacity. A Filipino should help a Filipino, while in this argument, there is no lending hand to fill the gap of the proposal to reach proper forum as she  suggested.

Above is just a sample incidence where we find the side of the government as not for manufacturing and even seeking that matter for the country.

We must stop our arrogance to manufacturing, technology transfer, trade, exports, and commerce as the only thing that will directly solve the ills of the economy of this country.

At this point, super Pilipinas do not delve on the mechanics of the Jeepney modernization program, it's only concern is the manufacturing and self-production, or nationalization of a car  industry in the country which until now the country do not have.

This blog is only meant to use the advantage of the program to timely initiate the car manufacturing, that will also result to savings of the government of its foreign reserves, and most of all self-reliance, and the creation of many more industries that maybe opened up, made by the car manufacturing.
