Made in RP vs. Made in PRC

[nincompoop!]

Here's the deal, nabasa ko sa isang fellow tsikoteer dun sa "nabutas and shorts" ung Dockers and Levi's pants being made in here. And then naisip ko ung mga nabili na items which were made in China.

I bought a Billabong Boardshort tsaka flip flop which were all made in China, pangit ung quality ng work. Ung short di maganda ung seams ng tahi add to the fact na may mga himulmol pa. Then ung flip flop naman isang gamitan lang nagsisimula na mabakbak ung print. Felling ko tuloy nadenggoy ako ng brand na ito made in china lang pala.

Compare: My brother has a Champion short made in RP, it was a gift from my sister in Korea. Compared to the Billabong boardshort, laki ng difference sa worksmanship. Parang minadali ung made in China. Don't get me started on shoes urgh..

Your thoughts on products being made in the Philippines. This made me conscious where my items would be made. Bakit kaya ang tingin nating mga Pinoy sa RP made products are inferior? Pero kung tutuusin marami premium brands eh made in RP.

Add ko rin ung mga products na made here so that we can all be proud of Filipino worksmanship:
1. Timex
2. Starter apparel

i really depends imho... may mga pinoy made na good and bad ang quality... same thing sa china.. may good and bad quality products din... coz in the end dalawang type of market lang naman yan.. yung mga gusto makatipid at ok na yung low quality or yung mga tipong kahit magbayad ng medyo mahal as long na may quality

Meron din ako nabili na Billabong shorts na China made. Nabili ko nang mag-sale dito sa outlet nila sa dito sa Riyadh. Okay naman, kasi orig, hindi imitation.

Alam kong mga branded clothes (orig) na sa Pinas ginagawa eh yung Guess & Dickies, to name a few. Yung Levi's at Dockers, diyan sa Pasong Tamo Ext. nman ang factory nila.

[nincompoop!]

I do understand about cutting on expenses to boost margins pero if you're a premium brand, why sacrifice the name of your brand?

Pero pansin ko lang, some people just look at the brand just for the heck of having one.

Depende talaga...Kasi ang phils and china eh poor talaga workmanship....

Malay nyo habang nagtatrabaho mga yan nangunuglangot pa or bigla kumambyo sa shorts/jeans :bwahaha:

Ay ganon ba, sorry. Sabi ko lang yung sa mata

[suv]

Hindi ba totoo?

[VtEC]

i dis-agree on this statement.sa china pwede mo pa sabihin yan.but not sa pinas.bakit? e di sana ala ng skilled workers na filipino worldwide.

[jeffrocks]

AFIK, Levi's jeans that are made in pinas is exported to Germany among other countries. i bought some pairs here in tate too, some stuffs na tinitinda d2 ay; dole pineapples in cans, san miguel beer in cans, kangkong, bagoong sa bote,meron din goldilocks shop, handicrafts at marami pang iba...pero nagbaha din ang mga made in china but underlicensed ng mga U.S. company.
Pagdating sa mga malalaking gamit patok talaga ang U.S. made

[Lucius]

Tindi naman kasi nung last sentence bro hehehehehehe

[nincompoop!]

+1 sir vtec.

Sir Suv, di ka pa ba nakikita ng Phil made products that are labelled somewhere else in the world? You'd be surprised how good they are.

Anu ung sinabi ni Lucuis? Di ko nabasa

[suv]

Lahat naman ng bansa may mga skilled worker.

Pero in general sinasabi ko

Nakakita ako ng mga made in the philippines na galing sa ibang bansa.

Pero in general mas marami poor workmanship ang pinas kaysa good.

Mas grabe nga lang china dahil bugbug sarado sa trabaho mga empleyado nila.

By the way doon sa previous post ko yung last sentence eh totoo namna talaga minsan yung mga nagtatrabaho kung saan pumupunta yung kamay eh. :bwahaha:

[empy]

China's quality is decent when it comes to low-tech goods like clothes, stuffed toys, etc. kung US or European company naman eh nasa kontrata naman nila ang certain levels of quality control.

Philippines is the same. i have a few clothes that have "made in the Philippines" on the label....why would i be ashamed or think they are inferior? they have been inspected by the designer's company and are good enough that he put his name on it - why would i somehow think it is inferior because the subcontractor happens to use Philippine labor?

this whole "e made in the Pilipins lang pala yan eh!" mentality is just crab mentality and reverse racism.

*TS, baka naman peke yun nabili mo or user's error ang nangyari, baka hinde dapt pwedeng i-iron yun short bec of the prints then naplantsa ng maid siyo or something...I have a 3-4 pcs lacoste nshirts a medyo pangit na ang tela dahil I think hinde iniingatan ng maid namin....to think I bought them for 3-4k each and made in france naman..and I'm sure na original dahil sa GB3 ko na boutique nila binili pero nasiira pa rin....so in short malaki rin ang role ng gumagamit sa itatagal ng damit...kahit san pa gawa yan...

IMO, you can't equat na pag bad quality made is china or made in Philippines...depende yan kahit san meron bad apples...

ako bumili ng sweater sa CA, made in the Philippines...hinde ko naman pwedeng sabihin na bulok yun dahil sa isang malaking mall ko nabili...yun accessories ko sa aquarium ko binili ko rin sa US...tapos pag dating ko dito binasa ko yun tag, dito rin gawa....hinde ko rin sinabing bulok yun...

hinde rin naman porke ginawa sa china ng isang known brand eh sinisira nila ng brand nila, remember meron namna silang mga quality control officers eh...lalo na mga US brand na products konting lagpas lang ng kulay, reject na...

[FrankDrebin]

If one particular product has a Made in the Philippines tag, most likely it was manufactured by a Chinese-owned factory. So there's no difference at all.

[theveed]

Geez, another generalization thread...

When it comes to manufacturing, gazzilion of things come into play. From the choice of raw materials (things like threads used, fabric used, rubber used, etc), to manufacturing and so on and so forth.

Even with the best hand-made products, if the raw materials used were inferior, it'll still break. There's more to the equation than "who made it".

In addition, just because a tag is made somewhere, doesn't mean it's totally made there.

Back in the days when our factory is contracted by Levi's, Marlboro, Puma etc, only part of the sewing process is done in the Phil, the labels were sewed somewhere else, so were the rivets, the dying etc were all made somewhere else.

In this day and age, does it really matter where something is from? Globalization has made that pointless.

[pajerokid]

Who cares where it's made?! As long as the design, manufacture and QC are all in shape, then at the end of the day, you still get the same product

[flakez]

you get what you pay for, baka naman mumurahing model kaya ganyan. alala ko dati nung puro made in australia pa ung rip curl na benta sa surf world, ang mamahal pa. pero nung nagkaroon ng made in china mas mura ung mga made in china. hindi naman panget quality pero mas maganda ung made in australia which is mas mahal din.
