    BTW, if those local motorbike manufacturers import everything from China and assemble the motorbikes here, then they really arent doing any manufacturing

    they are just importing

    anyone can source motorbikes, motorbike engines and parts from alibaba.com

    parating ka lang ng mga 40 ft containers na puno ng motorbikes, engines and parts, meron ka na sariling motorbike business

    just come up with your own brand name and stick them of the bikes

    so what's so pinoy about that?

    Just like what the Korean did with their Hyundai in the mid 80's. And not to mentioned the Malaysian Proton in the 90's. There's no problem with that.

    They did, why can't we do it.

    It's a start of something big...

    Proton "National Automobile Enterprise" is owned by the Malaysian government. There's no way the Philippine government can even remotely imagine that. Hyundai however, had tie-ups with bigger bros such as Ford in the late 60's and Mitsubishi in the 80's onwards. If we did what Hyundai did, we'd end up making cars for the MNCs with their brand on it, being sold to us at jacked-up prices. If someone wanted to rebadge it as an all-Filipino car, we'd still have to pay royalties to the MNCs who provided the technology.

    Imagine the Toyota Innova that I drive. Its parts came from everywhere, it's assembled in Laguna by Filipino folk, sold in the PhDM. But it's still a Toyota. Talk about alienation.

    I dream of building a small multi-purpose engine, but I don't expect my own car company to follow. The Filipino can make one, but that's pretty much it. Bahala na lang...

    Ironic that the Noble Peace Prize was created by Alfred Noble on his guilt that his creation has created so much death and suffering aside from making him a very wealthly man.

    As if it was big news. It wasn't. Uls has never said the Filipino can't. You're suggesting he did, (kunwari ka pa) at some point. Thus vaguely accusing him of making statements he didn't make.

    Get your story straight. Para ka namang sirang plaka na paulit ulit lang... :hysterical:

It was the tireless effort of American blue collar workers, in the midst of a depression, that was able to churn out so much materiel, on a massive scale, that funded the war effort and gave the US government enough money to develop an atomic bomb... others were trying, but the US was the only country rich enough to afford to develop it.

    It wasn't the individual genius of one man... many scientists were working on the problem... but without the economic might of the US to back up development, the bomb would never have been developed in time to see action in WWII.

    -

    Which brings us back to the problem. Yes, we have the brainpower locally to do this, but without willing investors and a viable marketing strategy, developing something world class will always be problematic.

    -

    Which is why the focus should be on:

    1st: Stamping out excessive government corruption

    2nd: Viable agrarian reform

    3rd: Enacting business friendly government policies and fees, to attract foreign investors

    4th: Upgrading infrastructure... not only roads, but water supply, electrical grids, etcetera... to encourage economic progress.

    5th: Educational reform

    -

    Once this is done, and when the median of the Philippine population is at the point where they have at least 500,000 pesos in disposable income to put towards buying a new car, only then can a locally made automobile be truly successful.
