How global we have become?
I drive a Japanese-made car which runs on fuel from the Arabs and components mostly made in China. My phone is of an American brand but manufactured in China. I wear American glasses. I sometimes wear shirts from France and American-branded jeans. My favorite shoes are of a German brand but manufactured in China.
I guess only thing local are my underwear and socks. I love using Burlington socks!
Am I patriotic? Of course. I pay my taxes and opt to work here.

That’s a good thing, being patriotic with a global mindset!
What im driving at is the Chinese are already there in the WPS and we still send our money to china by buying chinese brands.
Truly hindi tayo like the Japanese who are really patriotic in the true sense. Language and dialect are japanese but they cater globally. They’d buy local most of the time too.

patriotic pinoy?
meron ba?
sa pagkaalam ko pinoys put themselves and their family first -- above all else
above country
budget for research, development, design and full government support na lang ang kulang to have the Philippines' first true car company!
Time to put those boxy designs away and also make it electric powered..
Imagine a Philippine made car designed and built by the Filipinos that looks similar to any Tesla out there...
Look at Vietnam, they have one now.. It's Vinfast!
ang pinoy uunahin ang sarili at pamilya
kung meron talent/skill na kailangan ng pinas pero mas mataas bayad sa abroad ibebenta nalang ang talent/skill sa foreigner
well syempre di naman mapapakain ng patriotism ang pamilya
and the well-off locals including politicos?
dual citizenship
dito gagawa ng pera, deposits in foreign banks, properties abroad
in case PH goes down the toilet, lipad
Coz we’re always f*d up by the government and the deep seated corruption. 3rd world thinking din na kanya kanya.
Pero BTT- never pa rin ako bibili ng chinese car brand. Kasama na rin VW-SAIC models tulad ng t-cross.
Never din ako mag Dito telecom, chinatelecom holds 40% and they’re listening [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Vehicle design and manufacturing is a high entry barrier industry
Only the Chinese and Koreans have been successful new entrants recently, Malaysia’s Proton is still far behind despite being in operation for almost 40 years.
Even if we weren’t corrupt, we still wouldn’t have a home-made car industry. At best it would a Proton, a laughing stock.
The barrier to local manufacturing is high energy costs (see Hanjin), bureaucratic red tape, and low local demand.
