[@noeminoemi1350]

bureaucracy is so slow, employees move so slow, bad leaders. It's like having bad parents who had a lot of children but didn't invest on their kids with proper education, nutrients and morals. That's what happened to the PHilippines. Bad leaders who don't have apathy for the masses And then you have the Chinese predators who just want to exploit the poor masses and so they own evertyhing and keep the masses on a tight leash. I feel so sad when I see some of the conditions the poor Filipinos have to live in and the high cost of foods and everything given their meager salary.

Solid arguments. Critical thinking over ideological thinking indeed. Mind you, his rant about integration of mining, processing of ores and the added value chain is also why China is a behemoth in rare earth. Rare earths aren't exactly that rare. Every other countries are perfectly capable of digging them out of the ground. The difference is what happens after. The same is also applicable to other industries. Start bringing back cities that specializes on particular industries instead of focusing too much on building modern business districts. If we do things correctly, then we're more likely to take away more shares of the market from China, who is currently going broke due to sanctions.

It's not about land ownership, it's about corporate ownership. Remove the 60/40 clause in the Constitution so that the laws Congress passed allowing higher ownership can't be challenged as unconstitutional, fix the power costs, get rid of the systemic corruption, particularly in the Customs Department, cut down the red tape, set up a court just to deal with corporate laws, so cases don't take decades for resolution, and you'll get FDI. The Oligarchy wants the clause to stay so they can retain control over the economy.

I disagree with political instability as one of the reasons we lagged. Thailand has had 13 successful and nine unsuccessful coups in just over a century, and yet they are more attractive for foreign investors even to this day. It has to be something else. I agree with power rates though, coz that affects an investor returns, and returns are ultimately is what an investor is after.

That is what Duterte did fast track infrastructures. Many NEDA approved projects were under implemented or not implemented at all. During PNoy out of 114 NEDA approved projects, only 16 were completed mostly school buildings and some bridges new and rehabilitated. Like the case of LRT expansion to Cavite, no single post was erected which PNoy admin promised to be finished in Dec 2015. Duterte admin solved the Right Of Way(ROW). Same with Panglao International Airport. Then Duterte admin also fast track and complete construction of New Clark terminal. Also approved and awarded San Miguel to construct new international airport in Bulacan as NAIA is congested. Philippines needs bigger airport. It was during Duterte MRT to Fairview was fast tracked. Same with connectors in skyway.

foreigners cant own land. foreigners must give %60 of the business to a filipino at the very start. small business grows to big businesses. there are many foreigners living in the philippines who would start a small business if they could actually own it. they could get things up and running on their own land and with their own investment and hire filipinos to build the business and run it and train them creating many jobs and as the business succeeds and grows to a big business hire more filipinos providing good paying jobs and training. these small businesses are the backbone to an economy and the future of its growth. thats how america started and grew- not by seeking huge investments from other countries for huge businesses right off the bat. the average foreigner cant afford to risk their limited funds on something that wont belong to them. paperwork and bureaucracy and fees and permits is a whole other issue.

My takeaway from this is that Stephen's message throughout the video is about identifying what is holding us back: avoiding stepping on anyone's toes, managing debt responsibly, addressing conflicts of interest, fostering equality, and pursuing common interests. Let me elaborate, in the simplest way. Debt: On a smaller scale, we tend to borrow without considering our ability to repay the interest or the principal amount. Equality among each other: Some claim we are doing our best, but many are left behind, indicating a lack of equality. Lastly, our major objective in terms of common interest: We lack a common interest because everyone seems to prioritize personal success over collective well-being, leading to division within society due to a lack of understanding and a desire for effortless wealth, rather than fostering meaningful relationships and respecting other cultures. My point is clear: we need individuals like Stephen to remind us that we are all small parts of a bigger picture. Let's face it, if you already live a luxurious life, do you truly care about those in need? I admire Stephen's perspective and urge him to continue transcending his thoughts and inspiring positive change in us, from a holistic viewpoint.

[@marklawrencedasig3650]

Term limits serve as a vital safeguard against the consolidation of power within political dynasties, preventing individuals or families from monopolizing leadership positions for extended periods. However, there are instances where term limits alone may not suffice to dismantle entrenched political families. In such cases, extending term limits could offer an alternative approach to combatting political dynasties. Consider this: If a competent and effective incumbent seeks to extend their term, they can continue their policies without the need for their family members to enter politics. This scenario reduces the incentive for nepotism and ensures that leadership transitions occur based on merit rather than familial ties. Ultimately, while term limits play a role in promoting democratic turnover and preventing abuse of power, they are not a panacea. The true solution lies in fostering an informed and engaged citizenry empowered to hold their leaders accountable through the electoral process. By promoting transparency, civic education, and active participation in governance, we can create a political environment where dynastic tendencies are less likely to take hold. Therefore, while term extension may be a viable tool in certain circumstances, the fundamental defense against political dynasties lies in the vigilance and empowerment of the electorate.

Kaya dapat amyendahan ang saligang batas pag dating sa economic provisions dahil foundational law po yan mas mananaig yan kaysa sa mga bagong batas na naipasa pag dating sa korte. Change the economic provisions now habang my shift sa global manufacturing, let the current administration secure some of those manufacturers na nag aalisan ng China na mamuhunan at lumipat d2 sa Pinas. Securing those manufacturing would open up other opportunities katulad na lang ng textile manufacturing manganga ilangan yan ng mga raw materials so yung mga farmers pwedeng mag tanim ng cotton pag walang kita sa gulay. Wag pauto sa drama ng senado. Naging senador lang ayaw na anti cha cha na agad nung congressman pa sila pro cha cha mga yan.

[@EckonOmyst-jv1ro]

Marcos Jr’s Cha-cha will only equate to the wanton plunder of our remaining land and natural resources. Instead of devoting our land and resources to the genuine development of domestic agriculture, economy, and industries, ChaCha will allow more foreign-owned extractive industries, logging, ecotourism, real estate projects, expansion of agro-corporation plantations, and other business operations intended for profit-making. Furthermore, 100 percent foreign ownership of land may also further drive the displacement and ejection of farmers and indigenous people. Land agents will rush into land grabbing, coercive land purchases, land banking, and land selling. This implies a broader displacement of farmers and indigenous people, imposition of higher land rents, further losses for farmers, cessation of farming activities, land conversion, and the dissolution of agricultural livelihoods. Ramos added that the proposed Charter Change will end jeopardizing food security and livelihood for Filipinos, leading to widespread hunger, loss of livelihoods, and increased poverty

Profit-making is the way of the world.Opening the economy will bring employment to our poor and middle-class. The future is not traditional farming.It's industrial-agricultural that uses science and technology. The net effect will be positive.True,some farmers will be displaced but this is the natural course. Their children will be better employed in high-technology and manufacturing industries with better pay and healthcare. Land development will not become too bad.Liberalization of the economy will not kill our agriculture but rather enrich it. Let competition reign between foreign and local investors.This will bring in more revenues to the government and more money for social programs for our people. How come it is wrong to grow our economy and make our people upper middle-class by opening the economy?

7:29 Steve says we're above the average in the region in terms of economic openness. Parang wla Naman tlagang problema sa economic provisions natin,kundi nasa iBang aspeto tulad ng power shortages,foreign policies,political instability etc.. .

The restrictions you are talking about in other countries are at legislative level while ours is straight to our constitution. Deleting the economic provisions in our constitution is not a one size fits all. Sure their are a lot of factors why our country is low on overall economic competitiveness. But opening up is a huge message to whole investing community and world markets.

Many thanks but I have no time.

I support the idea of amending the economic provisions in the constitution, recognizing it as the supreme law of the land. Any legislation pertaining to the liberalization of foreign investment will be subject to constitutional scrutiny. If a case is filed challenging such a law, the supreme law will have the authority to declare it unconstitutional. However, I hold reservations regarding foreign ownership of land, as it may contribute to an escalation in land prices. While advocating for economic openness, it is crucial to strike a balance that safeguards the interests of local citizens and prevents adverse impacts on the cost of land. Balancing economic growth with the preservation of domestic resources is essential for the sustainable development of the nation. #YestoEconomicCharterChange

The only concern that I have here is that the difference between the Senate and the Congress is that you can at least see some discussions done in the Senate regarding controversial bills. The Congress is more or less just a rubber stamp of the president. I do not trust Congress at all. I am not saying that Senators are clean, but they at least are willing to talk about issues.

[@scuunjieng]

again, am happy to have a respectful diversity of thought out positions

[@koromizetill658]

Understood. Thank you. 😊
