Statutory rates natin, especially SSS and Philhealth, mataas din. Isama mo pa dyan ang fuel and utility costs. On top of that, yun mga "parte" ni kapitan, meyor, at ni inspector. So gaganahan pa ba ang mga investors dito sa atin?

Mayroon naman tayong manufacturing sector. Number 1 nga tayo sa pag manufacture ng bata.

fact: we import food
fact: we have unemployed citizens
fact: everybody eats
fact: the philippines still have farmlands that have not converted to condominiums yet
fact: we had the rice and corn administration that had been converted to national grains authority that had been converted to national food authority
fact: the transportation system of the farmers' produce is very expensive and inefficient
fact: there are not too many farmers (food producers) hence there will be a lot of opportunities of getting a livelihood

what if:
the national food authority would have a department taking care of transportation and taking care of stabilizing food prices that way some of our jobless citizens may consider into food production instead of going hungry looking of barely existent jobs.

For desired mass employment of the cross section of our society,- manufacturing is the answer. BPO will mainly address only the employment of those who had some level of higher education,- so how could this pull the poorest of the poor out of their vicious cycle?

First,- liberal and consistent policy of the government in doing business in our country.

Second,- reduce the cost of electricity.

Third,- salary (but we have a floor number here....)

sama mo na din review and revision of the tax laws.
easiness to do business

Bottom line, you have to pay SOP in order to get a business permit which is more of the rule even if there's absolutely nothing wrong with your documents. Sa Barangay level pa lang hinuhuthutan na ng kapitan ang negosyante.

2. BIR changes its compliance requirements almost on a whim of the current Commissioner. Case in point: issuing a memorandum order changing the form of ORs given out by legitimate businesses and penalizing those who continue to use ORs which were previously stamped and approved by the BIR.

3. The frustratingly high cost of electricity.

With all that, how can you put up and maintain a business which will generate jobs? Eh di mag-money market ka na lang or play the stock market.

haaaaay.... had experienced all of these, unfortunately.

They're busy distributing or rather selling rice importation permit thus their investigating the likes of David Tan aka David Bagayan. Former NFA administrator Lito Banayo (talo last election) followed the Singapore concept that is, "why build cars like Proton of Malaysia when you can just sell a piece of paper called 'certificate' still generate money".

If you look at the retail business also, those foreign stores like Zara, Mossimo Dutti, GAP, etc belong to the oligarchs...in this case to the Tantocos/Store Specialists. Unless may percentage of local ownership, those foreign shops can't open here...

Many a farmer's family have abandoned being farmers because they know they cannot make ends meet. Goverment buys from them at low controlled prices.

Any enterprise that have goverment control/intervention always fail/loose money/inefficent.
