New restrictions on cargo container max weight may increase retail prices of goods

[uls]

ok yan para tumaas lalo ang bilihin. the more tumataas bilihin, the more tataas ang overhead, the more ma-filter ang mga wannabees sa business, the more magsasara madami sa malls and retail stores and this could lead to mall closures as well

without malls, there'd be less traffic and more people will stay * home and find other forms of entertainment alternatives * home.

hay sarap talaga pag na foresee ang future. ngaun pa lang, fil-chinese friends and lessee neighbors are calling me on how's business, sobrang laki daw ang overhead nila.

eh sinabi ko na sa kanila noon eh, let go of your multi-branch shops. tatalunin kayo ng mga kabataan sa multiply and ebay hahaha eh ayaw, so yun they'll hold on, eat more bec. emotional eating pressure sa businesses nila, and before they know it, lumba-lumba sila with a bankrupt biz. sobrang sakit noon, wala ka ng pera, di ka pa physically fit to recover/recoup your losses. oh well, that's life

haha ganitong thread pala para ma-draw out si OB

totoo, tumataas ang input cost coz of higher raw material prices pero di basta pwede magtataas ng presyo ang mga tindahan baka humina sales nila

tapos eto ang gobyerno lalo pinahirapan mga entrepreneur

The mall will not close. It is the small independent stores that will be affected first. The malls don't earn from retail. The malls earn from property development & management.

stupid govt. anti business

instead of building tougher roads, nag impose ng load limit

transport of goods is PART OF COMMERCE

no matter how heavy a load is, the fact that it is being transported means it is needed somewhere in the economy

the job of the govt is to build infrastructure to promote economic growth

how the hell can an economy grow if the govt restricts the movement of goods?

if you're an importer, you have to tell your suppliers to limit the weight of the container vans. so the usual 1 van shipment will become 2 vans. dagdag cost bigtime

amazing

how about heavy machinery?

mining companies need to import earthmoving equipment that usually weigh 20 to 100 tons or more

the imported machinery will have to be transported by truck trailer from port to mining site

so paano? hindi na pwede magtransport ng malaking earthmovers?

so ano gagamitin ng mga mining companies? puro mini earthmovers ang gamitin nila?

how about transporting steel?




so mga business ang kailangan mag adjust

very good

very well said.. i totally agree... yung sinasabi nilang comparison sa road specs (vs other countries, Asian, American or even European) only tells half the story... those countries have those specs because they have a plan where the heavy cargo will pass through... railway most likely... eh dito.. nasan ang railway? kaya lahat ay dumadaan sa kalsada, dahil walang ibang alternative... sino ba ang gustong gumastos ng per truck na malaki ang risk sa hi jack, pa - ihi, kotong cops, etc... kung mas mabilis at in the long run mas mura sa railway? eh pero nasan ang railway? ang iniisip lang ng gobyerno ay LRT.. para sa pasahero.. para sa mga botante... pero yung sa negosyo (which will eventually affect the passengers or masa that they oh so spoil).. hindi nila tinututukan...

Not gonna happen. Even if it does, dadami ang mga makeshift palenques kung saan they will contribute to congestion.

High oil prices lang ang makaka bawas sa traffic (like what happened in 08)

I'm praying for higher oil prices. The masses must not be allowed mobility.

Eto sana. Imagine a railway system for hauling all those goods from our ports and farms to factories, warehouses, and other places. Haay. I think most development plans for Metro Manila/NCR/Luzon never included those, medyo ngayon lang nila naisip. (Yes, there are plans, but sadly, most if not all of them were implemented. We've seen that with Ondoy. :c

Guess what, government? Railways are the cheapest and most efficient way of moving goods in bulk.

As for cargo containers, like closed vans... hmm. I wonder how this will be implemented/enforced. Most closed vans and smaller delivery trucks do not exceed their load ratings. Yung ilan abusado lang talaga. Did the policymakers even look at average load ratings for these types of vehicles?

OT: Yung 'bulk' ko nagiging 'bulok' habang nagtatype. I think it wants to describe our current situation and the competency (or lack thereof) of our government.
