Everytime another country invests in you, its just to take more of your economy out of your hands.

For example.
I have visited every single motorcycle mechanic in cebu, and found that not a single one knows what the purpoae of the cylinder hone on their boring machine is for. They all have the stones wrapped in fine grit silicone carbide paper in am effort to make the cylinder borea smooth as glass.





Not all shops are that backward, not all not so backward shops are equipped or trained. There are decent techs but the shop they work for is probably not equipped and some shops with equipment don't have the tech smart enough to employ the equipment.

I had a shop foreman before who grew up and had been a "mechanic" for sometime who is older than me. I only respected him because of his age, but his theory, work practice was that of a caveman. If he didn't understand how things are supposed to work or too complicated for him, he would say " alisin mo 'yan, pampagulo lang yan" like the thermostat.
Some people don't want to admit incompetence, hence, they tell you to go backwards when it comes to technology- that's the " mechanic" attitude.
You want somebody who understands how things work, how they're supposed to work, knows how to make diagnosis at the shortest time? Ask a technician who makes use of simple physics, simple chemistry, simple geometry not just "oido" skills. Today's cars are not designed to be serviced by your favorite " mechanic" at your favorite talyer. Talyer was it when we rode calesas.
