Don’t take these things seriously, to each his/her own way of making a point. Credentials? I’m proud of my degree in SANITATION ENGINEERING from the Malabanan Institute! Hey, we all need someone to clean up all our mess, don’t we?

I cannot speak for the rest of the blogers here kaya lang parang nakakabingi na rin ang sigaw mo. PEACE!

You’re drowned in your inflated ego. i realized that talking to the drivers makes more sense than talking to you. i do not claim that the information i’ve got from the drivers were formal or scientific. it was to satisfy my curiousity about how this people think about current issues. it just so happened that my own informal information gathering jive with the formal result.I never encouraged anybody to believe me although i felt that urge to share my own experience. that’s why in my post i emphasize this big “if” you consider these people to be part of the masses “perhaps”…

Do not gloat about what you know about statistics because the level of significance is nill bringing out here our credentials. pataasan ng ihi is never my cup of tea.

As for the rules of globalization, a lot of those are the rich countries’ attempts to kick away the ladder. We should do as they have done (to develop) and not as they preach today. Like you, i’m in the IT industry so i appreciate the potential of the internet and its role in economic development, but i also know its limitations.

The point i’ve been trying to make to Anthony is that business acumen alone is not sufficient for us to industrialize (something we cannot do with malls and BPO alone). As evidenced by the Tsinoy businessmen’s retreat from manufacturing, sometimes the government has to step in to stack the decks in their favor.

Agreed.

Of course one has to adapt to the more current rules brought about by globalization and the internet, China-as-the-factory-of-the-world economics, and environmental concerns vis-a-vis industrialization (e.g., how to solve the dilemma of a country needing to pollute itself a lot so that it can industrialize).

In other words, hindi pa tayo nagkaroon ng tunay na rebolusyon. Kaya siguro ang mga bugok ng lipunan ay andito pa rin sa atin! We need to cleanse our system!

Kaya naman panahon pa ng kastila at ng ating mga bayani hanggang ngayon ay ganoon pa rin ang sitwasyon. Ang mga naghaharing uri ang nagsasamantala sa mga indio o masa sa ngayon. Sino ba ang naghahari, diba ang mga Ayala, Zobel, Elizalde, Tuazon, Ortigas, at Aboitiz ang iba pang mga mestizong kastila na biniyayaan noong nasasakupan pa tayo ng Espanya?

Ang unang dapat kalusin ang mga Arroyo lalo na si Fat Guy na Tuazon, dahil sila ang simbolo ng pagmamalabis ng naghaharing uri!

Jon, world class product is world class because of quality, not because of nationality and origin. Some Phil.-manufactured products are world class priced but not world class quality. One reason why consumers would rather buy made in China.
