    Job creation kuno...


    Without batting an eyelash, Budget Secretary Ben Diokno told ANC’s Cathy Yang in a forum last week that the Duterte government was “open to importing foreign labor”. Specifically, the government intends to hire low-skilled workers from China for China-financed infrastructure projects around the Philippines.

    But Diokno failed to mention that in China-financed infrastructure projects, the Chinese government usually includes in government-to-government deals a provision for the hiring of Chinese workers. This was the template in China-funded infrastructure projects in Africa—wherever Chinese contractors laid down highways or railways, Chinatowns instantly cropped up along the project sites, according to studies conducted by scholars. These Chinatowns got their provisions from China so the host communities failed to benefit from their presence.

    China lends money to host countries, sends its own equipment, materials and labor to the host country

    that's to maintain growth for the Chinese economy

    they have industrial overcapacity so to utilize that overcapacity they have to seek other markets

    a China earthmoving machines supplier just visited our office the other day

    She's optimistic about China's infrastructure-building here in the Phils.

    Sabi niya there will be more demand for their machines

    our govt will not broadcast the unpopular details of China infrastructure-building

    di nila sinabi loans yan

    pinalalabas nila "investment"

    di nila sinasabi Chinese labor, materials, equipment ang gagamitin

    When Shangrila The Fort was built, you can see lots of Chinese workers loitering BGC high street talking to their relatives back home. Shang offers free wifi for these folks.

    I am sorry to hear about the proposed projects to be financed by china.

    Naawa ako kay digong, 70+ na siya, sigurado kong marami nang iniinda yan. Dapat sana sa kanya, pa-easy easy na lang, puro apo na lang ang asikasuhin niya. Kung nuong 55-60 yo siya, ayos sana. Right place, wrong time.

    it's still damaging to the "China" brand

    that Chinese infrastructure is unsafe

    it puts into doubt the quality of Chinese built infra everywhere

    if the Chinese govt is so image conscious, they should hang the person/people responsible for that bridge collapse

    para mag tino mga contractor nila

    How long ago did we call this?

    Should we have taken bets? We'd be rich by now if we did.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    this excise tax thing is bad

    the effect it has on psychology is it makes people urgently buy stuff now while taxes are still low

    so you're PULLING FORWARD FUTURE CONSUMPTION

    money that was supposed to be spent in the future is being spent today

    the economy may get a boost now

    but after the taxes take effect you'll see consumption go down

    the economy then slows down

    Wala nang benta next year. What I'm wondering is if the luxury car buyers are buying them for personal use or to sell. Even if you have a markup of only 1M next year that's quite a return. You can also sell as late as 2019 when the maximum excise tax hike takes effect.
