Things that you think will help our economy

[boybi]

palagi ko lang itong naiisip, marami sa ating mga basic commodities e subsidized either by the government, industry, etc. like yung electricity, mas mahal ang industrial and commercial compared sa residential. hindi ba mas magiging maganda kapag mas mahal ang residential kesa industrial? kapag mas mahal kasi sa residential, mas magtitipid ang mga tao sa paggamit ng electricity. sa industry kasi, kahit anong cost ng electricity, hindi sila magtitipid, ganun na talaga ang electricity usage. ang mangyayari, idadagdag nalang ng industry sa selling price ng products nila ang added cost ng electricity. kapag mas mura ang electricity sa industrial, mas bababa ang production costs, hence mas mura ang mga products. so parang win-win solution ito since kapag mas nagtipid sa electricity usage ang residential, mas liliit ang overall power consumption ng bansa, hense, mas liliit ng kahit kaunti ang dependence natin sa fuel, so mababawasan ang paglabas ng precious dollar. tapos magiging mura pa mga products. tama ba ito?

[boybi]

isa pa, sa electricity ulit.

sa electric bill natin every month, meron isang item dun na parang binabayaran natin ang power loss ng electric companies. ito usually yung mga illegal connections. since nababayaran din naman pala itong mga illegal connections courtesy of us good paying customers, hindi na magpupursigi ang mga electric companies na habulin mga illegal taps. gagastos pa sila para hanapin yung mga illegal, e di pabayaan nalang nila tutal hindi naman sila nalulugi.

dapat tanggalin nalang yang added cost sa atin para magsipag ang mga electric companies na habulin mga illegal connections!

[papao]

kasi ang prob din sa atin bawat palit ng namumuno sa govt palit din pati mga economic policies natin..so parang bale wala na un mga long run effect ng mga economic policies natin ngayn..nangyayari puro un short term effect lang...di naman maganda pag ganun..ewan ang gulo dito satin e..

di rin naman pwede na tuloy tuloy na pag taas ng peso over dollar..kasi patay ang export market natin..minsan un govt/central bank din gumagawa ng way para mag depreciate un peso.. basta sana naman in the future gumanda naman ang economy ng pilipinas..may pag asa pa anman siguro..pero alisin muna mga kurakot sa govt, sila sumisira sa pilipinas e...saka kelngan talaga may disiplina mga tao..

[nugundam93]

less politics.

[j_avonni]

less politics.

NO POLITICS, MAS OKAY.

[gwapito69]

kelangan lang e disiplina, less kurakot ( di kasi pwedeng mawala yun e kahit san may kurakot) and more exposure sa ibang bansa.

hindi ba mas magiging maganda kapag mas mahal ang residential kesa industrial? kapag mas mahal kasi sa residential, mas magtitipid ang mga tao sa paggamit ng electricity. sa industry kasi, kahit anong cost ng electricity, hindi sila magtitipid, ganun na talaga ang electricity usage. ang mangyayari, idadagdag nalang ng industry sa selling price ng products nila ang added cost ng electricity. kapag mas mura ang electricity sa industrial, mas bababa ang production costs, hence mas mura ang mga products. tama ba ito?

Pards, hindi tama yung suggestion mo. Kapag mas mahal ang singil mo sa residential, pinaparusahan mo lang lalo ang taong bayan dahil basic needs nila ang electricity. Unlike sa industry, they can find ways to reduce their costs and still become profitable.

Yung industry, ginagamit nila ang kuryente para kumita. Yung residential, ginagamit nila ang kuryente para mabuhay. Sino dapat ang bibigyan mo ng priority?

Saka isa pa, ang industrial, meron yang specific target consumers. Hindi lahat ng taong bayan nakikinabang sa kanila. Example, yung factory ng Philip Morris. Gawaan ng sigarilyo. Kahit bumaba ang presyo ng isang kaha ng Philip dahil mura ang bayad nila sa kuryente, hindi ka apektado kung hindi ka naman nag-yo-yosi, diba? Ganun din yung Casino na maraming ilaw pag gabi, hindi naman sila nagtitipid ng kuryente. Hindi bababa ang presyo ng mga tinda sa Rustan's kahit na babaan mo yung singil sa kuryente nila.

Lastly, kung mas mahal ang singil mo ng kuryente sa Residential, pinaparusahan mo lang yung mga mahihirap. Dahil yung mga mayayaman eh hindi naman nagtitipid yan ng kuryente. Yung kapitbahay ko nga apat yung aircon nila sa bahay P9,000 daw ang bill niya sa Meralco monthly. Pero ok lang dahil sweldo naman niya eh P80,000 a month. Pero tulad ko na hampas-lupa, magkakandila na lang kami. Kami ang pinarusahan mo pre.

one of the most common way for the industry to cut down on costs is to retrench. do you think this will better help the poor? di ba mas better kung lahat ng bilihin e mas mura but with a more expensive residential electricity, kesa sa pataas ng pataas na mga bilihin because of increasing cost of electricity and fuel, and kapag nahirapan na ang industry is to cut on production, thus resulting in retrenchments? e ano pang ipang babayad mo sa kuryente na mura nga pero wala ka naman trabaho?

Saka isa pa, ang industrial, meron yang specific target consumers. Hindi lahat ng taong bayan nakikinabang sa kanila. Example, yung factory ng Philip Morris. Gawaan ng sigarilyo.

i'm speaking of the general industry where everyone will be affected in one way or another. ang mahihirap ba papasok sa casino at sa rustans?

Lastly, kung mas mahal ang singil mo ng kuryente sa Residential, pinaparusahan mo lang yung mga mahihirap. Dahil yung mga mayayaman eh hindi naman nagtitipid yan ng kuryente.

like i have said, mas madaling magtipid ng kuryente ang residential user kesa sa industry.

ang bottom line dyan e kelangan talaga bawasan ang kurakot o kaya mawala.. pag wala na yan sigurado angat ang economy ng pinas at yung utang natin sa world bank e mababawasan hindi yung tubo lang ang binabayaran..

[papao]

kasi ang prob satin halos lahat ng govt position nangungurakot..mula sa pinakamababa hangang pinkamataas..konti lng talga un honest sa trabaho nila..un sa family business ng gf ko..may mali lng dun sa accounting ng 1st year ng operation ng business nila, hinhingan sila ng taga bir ng 600k para lang wag na pansinin un mali dun,grabe no..naka bmw pa daw un and marami pa kotse un naninigil e un position nya wala pa sa 20k ang sweldo monthly

[oldblue]

magtayo na lang tayo ng nuclear power plant para d na problema kuryente hehehe

kung noon pa na-implement BNPP siguro d na lumalabas yun mga IPP charges and

mga mahihirap d na kelangan i-subsidize ng gobyerno ang kuryente nila.

murang-mura na sana kuryente ngaun. karamihan developed neighbors nuclear

na. kung minsan talaga magaling ang plano ni Marcos, may sense, at least 20

yrs from '86, we're experiencing the benefits na sana. oh well ...

BUY FILIPINO. This is really a basic thing to do... look at Korea & Malaysia. When am buying in the grocery, I usually check if it is imported or not.

PATRONIZE SMALL SHOPS & RESTOS.

STOP COMPLAINING & CRITICIZE INSTEAD. Constant whining & complaining will get us nowhere. Positive criticism should be the mantra of every organization (and not just the government).

PRIORITIZE SPENDINGS. Look at where the income of most Filipinos go... to non-essential things right? Rather than get a life insurance or educational plan for their kids, they would rather get that fancy new mobile phone instead.

DON'T TOLERATE CORRUPTION. Don't reason out that it is the "system". For example, our company does not pay grease money to get our goods out of Customs faster. This might cause a few days delay in the shipment of goods but is well worth it. It can be done.

COMPASSION FOR THE NEEDY. There are lots and lots of NGOs out there that need your help. Instead of wasting all of those energy in those useless rallies they should just focus their attention there.

Well, I guess my suggestions complement mazdamazda's:

1. HIRE FILIPINO - I think we have more than enough talented and skilled professionals, craftsmen or techies to go around.

2. SUGGEST OPTIONS OR SOLUTIONS - We certainly get bombarded with problems and scandals in the news. The best thing to do is for us to suggest solutions or better options to problems that the country faces instead of taking to the streets to demonstrate. Simple solutions often work without wreaking havoc on the budget.

3. CONSERVE - Water and electricity. No further explanations needed.

4. CLEAN UP YOUR ACT - Manage your garbage and segregate. We have enough pollution and garbage problems. Try using recycled paper.

5. SAVE UP - For a rainy day.

6. GENERATE JOBS - Be entrepreneurial and create opportunities for others.

Just my 2 cents...

C2 just hit the 1B mark... (tama ba M2?) job well done URC!

eradicate pilferage ng electricity, dami kasing magnanakaw ng kuryente, yang meralco, dinadaan na lang sa singil ang lugi, ayaw gawin ang tamang trabaho

relocate urban poor back to provinces... kaso nga lang, it's the male population who are force to go here in MM, kasi hinaharass sila ng mga NPA to join them! pag sila ay sa bundok titira

[RedHorse]

para tipid sa kuryente, news channel lang ang bukas after 10:00pm, bawal na soap opera, talk show etc...

more... got to go na

[onat_1]

tama si oddblue dapat nukleyar na ang kuryenteng gamit ngayoun kung di lang mga sira ulo ang govt' opisyal kaya ayun ang bataan power plant inaamag walang pakinabang sayang lang.

[RedHorse]

si Joker ang pasimuno ng mothballing ng BNP.... at sya din nagpapirma kay Cory na pirmahan ang papeles sa pagsauli ng meralco sa mga lopez!

dahil doon, delubyo na ng mga IPP ang sumonod. latest word from enrile, nabenta na pala ang mga nuclear rods ng BNP sa seimens of germany

[badkuk]

political stability
drastic reduction of graft and corruption
better tax collection(better tax collection = higher tax revenue = no need for other b.s. taxes = lower operating costs = lower prices = higher sales)
support for SMEs, particularly in export and agri sector




and most important of all...the will to make it all happen.
