Ironically, COMMUNIST Vietnam Continues Improving FDI Conditions, vs. DEMOCRATIC Philippines

Image
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...

No Need for 100% FDI Shares Ownership if Filipino Politicians Were Just Like Shinzo Abe?

Image
Today is the second death anniversary of Shinzo Abe, the former Japanese prime minister. It's a sad fact that Abe died so soon via assassination. This reminds me of a certain fool on Facebook (who's got a strong anti-Marcos rhetoric) who said, "We don't need 100% FDI share ownership. We just need strong leaders like Shinzo Abe!" The same fool had already blocked me on Facebook. I want to really dance for joy when it happens. As I examined his logic, I found that many Filipinos still misunderstand the lack of FDI inflow. Of course, some keep talking about the late Benigno Simenon C. Aquino III, as to why there's no need for constitutional reform (read here ). However, relying on past successes as not to improve anything in the present, will murder any more chances for future successes. There's a real problem with the statement. One needs to take a look at the Constitution of Japan . Some might argue that it's actually older than the 1987 Constitution of...

Competition, NOT More Government Intervention, Will Protect Customers Better

Yes, Thomas Sowell is a former Marxist . That's probably why commie hippies call him all sorts of degrading names, without otherwise proving him wrong. It's because insults are the losers' tool to win. Fast forward, some people advocate that the government should be the one to provide everything. Groups such as those belonging to the Makabayan Bloc (such as Kabataan Partylist) or IBON Foundation still advocate for the Philippines to "industrialize on its own".  Others think that the government should continue subsidizing costs, as it was in the "good old" first Marcos administration. Some people talked about how "cheap" things were during the First Marcos Administration, never mind that the country was already sinking due to massive debt . Yes, the First Marcos Administration was a highly protectionist regime . Don't believe what IBON said (and take what they say with a grain of salt ) that the first Marcos Administration was neoliberal. No...

Real Talk: No MNCs In Their Right Mind, Would Ever AGREE to That Ridiculous 60-40 Proposal

Image
Here's another art I found on Facebook. Some time ago, I wrote about how the 60-40 policy may not prohibit, while still discouraging FDIs from entering . It's plain common sense, really, that nobody would want to rent a space if they had to part with 60% of their net profits to the lessor (read here ).  It annoys me to think that certain Netizens on Facebook are still blaming government corruption over the 60-40 policy. That can get annoying. I can link the 60-40 policy to government corruption . After all, corrupt officials want to perpetuate their stay in power through an ignorant and impoverished population. However, blaming corruption alone is really downright stupid. Some say investors are going to Communist Vietnam because the Communist Party of Vietnam-Vietnam People's Army is serious about cracking corruption. However, the reality is that, ironically, Communist Vietnam has more reasonable economic restrictions compared to the Philippines (read here ). Only a few sec...

Does Kabataan Partylist Understand How International Marketing Works?

Image
I'm amazed (but not surprised) at Kabataan Partylist's economic illiteracy . The group seems to be stuck in the pre-Doi Moi days of Vietnam. Do they believe that Vietnam actually got rich through national industrialization? Thankfully, the Philippine Anti-Fascist League Facebook page (old one) collapsed like the Berlin Wall. However, I decided to look at Kabataan Partylist's Facebook page and found another idiotic statement. Yes, it's by Atty. Renee Co. Right now, with the Philippine justice system being so weak (just remember how the Vizconde Massacre and the Chiong Sisters Case are both, case unclosed ), I'm no longer too beholden to lawyers. There are good lawyers but I don't think Renee is one of them! Anyway, to translate Renee's statements in English, it would be like: The real reason behind the oil price hike is deregulation. The government is no longer in control and they're allowing the oil businessmen to increase prices, whenever they wish. Eve...

Kabataan Partylist SERIOUSLY Needs to Learn BASIC Business from the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union

Image
Foreign Trade University A few days ago, I wrote about Kabataan Partylist needing to learn economics from the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union . Otherwise, I'll continue using Vietnam Youth Union for convenience. Speaking of which, the Foreign Trade University in Vietnam is actually a government-owned university (read here ). For this post, I decided to expand on a point, saying that Kabataan Partylist needs to learn from the Vietnam Youth Union on entrepreneurship . I pretty get jealous of the Vietnam Youth Union members with their practical early immersion.  The  National Defence Journal   of Vietnam gives out this important detail of the Vietnam Youth Union:  Fifth, enhancing the support of young intellectuals to get access to opportunities of work, research, develop ideas, products, and start-up to legitimately enrich themselves, the community and the country. Support the implementation of startup ideas and projects of young intellectuals in practice, making pra...

Today in History: Carlos P. Garcia Made His MOST Important Contribution to the Philippines

Image
High School Philippine History Movement Yes, Carlos P. Garcia made his most important contribution to the Philippines--he died! It's sickening how schools condition students to believe in Pinoy Pride Economics aka the Filipino First Policy. If we're to talk about it, some people say, "Oh the Filipino First Policy is so good!" However, if I were to really address it, the Filipino First Policy advocates' list of favorite sources are: The statements of any framers of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines. They are put at high regard . For example, an old man I met say, "I will not believe anything if it's not from the framers, concerning the Philippine constitution."  Faulty DepEd textbooks that are already notoriously known for factual error , even today! The statement of any priest from the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP). For example, cite the words of Archbishop Socrates Villegas. Garcia is still hailed as a hero and bu...
