    Why are native manufacturers from Western Visayas and Pampanga more receptive to a better looking jeepneys and AUVs?

    for example, when I went to Guimaras and Iloilo, hanep sa ganda yung mga pampasaherong AUV dun, mga CRV look alike ang nguso at hindi matagtag kasi naka coil spring daw sa harap at magandang leaf spring sa likod. Mukhang mas mabilis at magaang sa mga dyip dito Cavite.

    Sa Cavite kasi, di mo malaman kung yung jeepney, tangke, armored truck o kabaong sa dami ng bakal at burloloy na nakalagay.YUng sa Marikina at Cogeo parang nakasakay ka sa kabaong papunta impiyerno (with marching suspicious looking and Greek mythology monster looking driver and alalay...hehe

    Bakit dito sa LUzon, notably, Sarao, FMC and Cavite fabricators refuses to learn...kaya dinosaur na sila.

    Oo nga eh, nagtataka rin ako eh. I heard of this guy who brought in the workers from Iloilo to make the Iloilo style jeepneys here in Manila. But I dont know who he is or where...

    Also, I was a bit disaapointed in my last trip to Iloilo to see that most of their jeepneys have lost their color and finish. perhaps because of the high price of materials, they were starting to look more like the plain GI jeepneys here in Manila.

    Now, I stayed in one of the hotels in Iloilo, and they had a jeepney for a limousine... Because the nice Iloilo style jeepneys are a norm at their place, their "special" jeepney was one made by Sarao. So I suppose it really isnt always that our jeepney makers here arent learning, its just that our jeepneys here are considered special when they go there.

    WE, THE PEOPLE, MUST TAKE THE INITATIVE. The role of Government is to facilitate and support our pursuit of happiness, in an environment of freedom and social responsibility.

    I have ended up thinking that for any enterprise to succeed, it must psyche itself to operate with or without any help from government. Any help the government can give would however be most welcome.
    I agree with this somewhat. The problem here though is buti na lang if the government doesnt try to help us... But the problem is the government even tries to milk private enterprises and even kills them in favor of foreigners!

    If you put up an enterprise, you have to file sooo many permits, ang daming hihingi ng pera sa iyo before you can get these done! Then finally when you report your taxes, the BIR does not believe you and threatens to bring you to jail! Tapos, to get you fire permit, the fireman will also not give you any permits unless...

    Then there's the government who will "support" you by ordering 100 units of your vehicle... then will not pay you until after 2 years pa! Unless you are a famous politician, wherein you can even get paid before you deliver the goods, ordinary people are kawawa!

    I mean, this isnt just the government not helping us. Pwede pa sana yun... but this is the Government KILLING us! and continually putting us hostage with their power!
