1st: We're an LHD country. The huge quadruple market of Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia are RHD.
2nd: We're an isolated island nation, they're all connected by land.
3rd: The Thai junta was able and willing to give favorable rates and tax breaks to foreigners. Local militants cry foul every time we do that, and some local politicos care for nothing more than lining their pockets with kickbacks from the foreigners.
4th: Those same militants do everything they can to sabotage multinational corporations... not thinking that they're also pawns used by foreigners seeking to cripple our industry to make us uncompetitive with themselves.
5th: Small local market.
6th: Red tape, red tape, red tape, red tape... every time I have to go to the SEC, I get a headache. Dealing with taxes are even worse.
7th: Every time power changes hands, policies, deals and directions change... basta gawa ng predecessor... masama! Baguhin! Tapos na yun! Even if the program was good (this is from talks with those involved in said programs...)
8th: Lack of skilled labor. Too many of our best people go to college for courses they're not suited for and for jobs they would absolutely suck at... say... nursing.
Those with the proper training (technical or engineering) and work ethic end up in Dubhai or someplace else...
9th: Poor infrastructure (not as big a problem now)
Distant 10th: High salaries, high electricity prices... they'd put up with this if it was worth building things here... but due to all the other reasons... it's not.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

June 27th, 2012 06:18 PM #22How I wish we can be the next Auto Manufacturing hub in Asia, I think it should start by offering cheaper electricity perhaps if we revive Bataan Nuclear Power Plant it would allow us to generate Cheaper electricity thereby incouraging foreign car manufacturers to invest. next is the Tax incentives for Big Companies also to favor foreign investors.

June 27th, 2012 07:00 PM #24although not official, reason is high operational cost mainly because of absurd rates of PH electricity :-) Originally Posted by chua_riwap

June 27th, 2012 07:25 PM #25Add to that, low volume for local sales. Not enough to sustain a car plant especially with other countries with ten times the size of the combined philippine auto market. Originally Posted by frequenzy

June 27th, 2012 08:14 PM #26Ford was the only participant in the Philippine government's auto export program, having shipped 80,000 units worth more than $1 billion since 2002. Besides the Escape, the company had shipped the Focus and Mazda3 models to other Asean countries, including Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
The company ended local assembly of the Ranger in December 2002, followed by the Tribute in November 2009, the Mazda3 in January 2012 and the Focus this month.
Edward Krieger, Ford Philippines chief, had said the cost of building and shipping out a Focus from the Philippines was $1,500 more expensive than in Thailand. This gap was "too big" to justify the export of the model, he said.
The $400-per-unit fiscal incentive the Philippine government gave to the company expired two years ago. The company asked the Aquino administration to reinstate this fiscal perk to keep local production of the Escape to no avail.
Ford was one of the local car assemblers that had lobbied for a new motor vehicle development program, aimed at sustaining domestic manufacturing. The Aquino administration however had opted not to pursue the program.
The aim was to export, since the local market was too small. However, it cost US$ 1,500 more to produce a Focus in the Sta Rosa Plant than in Thailand. All/Most of the components are locally manufactured in Thailand, while the Sta Rosa Plant has to import. The Thais have the infrastucture and gave incentives, the Philippines was busy taking siestas. The Philippine has now a non-existant car manufacture industry, except for mitsubishi and its jurassic L300. Puro assembly na lang. Soon puro import na lang...Last edited by Monseratto; June 27th, 2012 at 08:25 PM.
