Tealive May Want to Establish a Bangamoro Branch ASAP

News of Tealive establishing its 50th branch in the Philippines (which makes me wish Jollibee would expand faster in Malaysia soon) makes me ask, "When are they going to enter the Bangsamoro region?" Some time ago, I wrote a post about how Tealive opening in the Bangsamoro region would be a huge business opportunity. It should be noted that former Malaysian prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, saw the potential of the Bangsamoro Region. Tealive isn't a Taiwanese but a Malaysian company where the company uses only Halal-approved ingredients.

Here's a photo from the Manila Bulletin Lifestyle's Facebook page. This was also written about the upcoming Ube series:

LOOK: Tealive opens its 50th store in the Philippines at Park West, BGC, Taguig City. 

At the event, ube is definitely in. Apart from celebrating the opening of their 50th branch, Tealive unveiled new “UBEr flavors,” cementing the status of the bright purple root as the flavor of the year for 2024. 

The “Tealive Ube Series” will be available to the public in June this year. There’s Ube Matcha, Ube Halo, Ube Milktea, and Ube Scramble. We also tried their fruity teas, as well as their toasties, burgers, and fries.

With the incoming UBEr flavors, it's easy to think that most Filipinos love ube or purple yam. Going to Surigao and Butuan, ube-based desserts would be served. Sure, I dislike ube ice cream or ube cake but I can enjoy other ube-based sweets. From a businessman's perspective, serving these ube desserts may keep Tealive going. Filipinos and Malaysians also have a similar sweet tooth demographic (read here). Having both halo-halo and scramble would definitely click with Filipinos. These flavors may be closer than one thinks with Mindanao.

The Rakyat Post

I'm not a fan of durian and I dislike its smell. It's understandable why Singapore has strict laws about bringing durian to certain places. However, Tealive Philippines should bring the durian beverage to certain regions or nationwide. Filipinos are stereotyped as durian lovers too. There may be ample supplies of durian in Mindanao, such as Davao or in the Bangsamoro region. Promoting the durian products in Bangsamoro may be an excellent move. 

This would also be bigger job opportunities for people in Bangsamoro. No need to go to what's coined as Imperial Manila just to get a job as a server. If it works in Bangsamoro, Tealive can also expand itself throughout the whole of Mindanao as well.

Going from Tet Offensive in 1968 to Doi Moi in 1986

Foreign Trade University The Lunar New Year isn't just celebrated by the Chinese. Chinese New Year is one form of the Chinese New Year. Other forms of Lunar New Year follow   the Chinese New Year cycle, such as the Tết Nguyên Đán of Vietnam, the Japanese Lunar New Year, and the Seollal in South Korea. There's also the Tibetan New Year and the Mongolian New Year. I remember when talking about Vietnam celebrating the Lunar New Year together with the Chinese, my fellow Chinoy made the squity-eyed gesture to talk about most Vietnamese looking like Chinese. Should we even be surprised that there's a Vietnamese student who looks like the deposed Alice Guo, aka Guo Hua Ping?  What was the Tet Offensive about? Right now, I want to talk about the infamous Tet Offensive , which was a Lunar New Year attack of January 31, 1968. The Western concept would prefer to talk about it on January 31 instead of the Lunar New Year. A Filipino would probably say, "So what if it was Lunar Ne...

Facts vs. Gossip: Did Vietnam (According to Filipino MARITESes) Develop from Its Own Treasury Before Opening Up to FDI?

Vietnam Youth Union It's been 80 years since Vietnam achieved its independence in 1945. Some time ago, I wrote about how Vietnam's Doi Moi actually disproves the Trust Me Bro School of Economics . I wasn't too accustomed to researching Vietnam's ironic economic miracle . Vietnam is a one-party state ruled by the Communist Party of Vietnam. The word Communism would evoke fear and terror. What I find funny is that some people are using Vietnam as an excuse not to open up the Philippine economy (read here ). Such misinformed  people think that Vietnam "won this revolution," supposedly self-industrialized from its own treasury before opening up to FDI. In short, some people either believe that (1) Vietnam is an example of how a highly protectionist economy works, or (2) that Vietnam made itself rich before opening to FDI. Both of them are lies. I'll focus on the second point for this new blog post!  Right now, some people say that I'm just another marites...

China's Real Great Leap Forward and Economic Cultural Revolution Under Deng Xiaoping

Nobody can dare deny that China has become a big superpower. I remembered I went to China last 2007 (which would be more than 10 years ago). China had become such a huge metropolis of power that I'm amazed at it. I was thinking about how Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing were truly magnificent cities before the pollution problem (which should call for eco-capitalist measures). I was thinking about how I never realized China was once dirt poor.  Did you know China used to be so dirt-poor? The "economic legacy" of Mao Zedong was a disaster with the so-called "Great Leap Forward". It was a great leap forward all right--a great leap forward to ruin. Mao seeking to avoid the use of foreign resources to launch China proved disastrous. The 1970s would see a dramatic change when Deng Xiaoping finally took over the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The beginning of the rise of Communist China under Deng's new political policy would pave the way to China becoming a great s...

Social Media Gossipers' Ad Hominems Against Actor Robin Padilla Regarding His Proposal to Remove 60-40

Make no mistake that I didn't vote for Robin Padilla. I feel like I've had enough of voting for celebrities, athletes, and those who I felt are know-nothings in the legislative. However, Padilla recently had his proposal to remove the 60-40 restrictions regarding foreign direct investments (FDIs) . Former Philippine Vice President Maria Leonor "Leni" Gerona-Robredo was even in favor of that amendment. I guess that's why Philippine economist Andrew James Masigan endorsed Robredo. I may have not endorsed Robredo while Masigan remains to be one of my favorite local sources. The news from GMA News Online reveals these plans by Padilla himself: Senator Robin Padilla said he wanted to revise the Constitution to scrap the 60-40 rule on foreign ownership of businesses to accelerate job creation and competition among industries . In a Monday interview, Padilla said the move would attract more foreign investments to support the country’s economic recovery. “Para sa akin mas...

Ironically, COMMUNIST Vietnam Continues Improving FDI Conditions, Compared to DEMOCRATIC Philippines

Vietnam National University It's crazy how people don't realize the bigger picture between Communist Vietnam and the democratic Philippines (read here ). It's really crazy how Senator Joseph Victor Gomez Ejercito apparently thinks that delayed proceedings to Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio's impeachment trial could scare away FDIs. Meanwhile, Atty. Renee Louise Co of Kabataan Partylist could talk about economics, all the while Kabataan Partylist is still against open FDI. It's amazing how Raoul Abellar Manuel, a cumlaude in applied mathematics, still believes in #SahodItaasPresyoIbaba economics! Meanwhile, the biggest picture is that Communist Vietnam , while it's under a One-Party State of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is has the better picture of how to invite FDIs. In fact, the Constitution of Vietnam  is rather silent on economic restrictions . The CPV chooses to impose economic restrictions through legislation rather than enshrining them in its Constit...
