Simple. Make all locally assembled (CBU, not SKD) cars VAT-free.

Hay kawawang Isuzu Philippines....

....At kawawang Lupang Hinirang

Tumatandang paurong ang Pinas tsk tsk tsk

Until now after 117 years since the oppressive Spanish left in 1896 and the United States, thereafter, educating all of us, building schools across the country, as part of the colonist empires' change of foreign policy from governance based on oppression, fear, exploitation, and theft of an occupied colony's natural wealth like what the earlier British, Dutch, Spanish, French, Portuguese colonists did to a benevolent one like what the Americans propagated more often than not, still we have never matured....

Look around our Lupang Hinirang, not one single industry is fully-developed or flourishing in the country that makes it more self-sufficient manufacturing and production-oriented country instead of just being a trade-based country.... Name it not one, to name a few, these are oil & gas, mining, automobile manufacturing, pharmaceutical, electronics-electrical-semi-conductors (these three areas mentioned, we are even one of the richest countries in gold and copper deposits), and to even include what is supposed to be one of our strengths, agriculture. It's just so pathetic....

What has only flourished actually in Philippines is poverty, corruption, now *** trade is catching up, and OFWs forced to work outside the country to earn at least a decent living for the common good, and provide much needed dollars as remittances to help the country.... And a lot of Filipinos have lose a sense of patriotism and nationalism unlike our neighbouring fellow Southeast Asians....

....And then almost every Filipino is just so naive and arrogant to blame it all to the President, when in fact we don't even have a single mature industry in the country to start with.... Hay Lupang Hinirang....
