Noong isang buwan, nang unang bumulaga ang krisis pinansyal sa Amerika na kumalat na sa ibang parte ng mundo, sinabi ni Gloria Arroyo hindi raw masyadong apektado ang Pilipinas dahil malakas daw ang pundasyon ng ating ekonomiya.
“Fundametals are strong”, yan lang palagi ang kanyang pinagyayabang. At yan daw dahil magaling daw siyang ekonomista kahit na garapalan ang kurakutan sa kanyang administrasyon.
Anong “strong fundamentals” ang pinagsasabi niya samantalang alam naman natin lahat na ang bumubuhay lang sa ekonomiya ng Pilipinas ay ang mga dolyares na pinapadala ng mga Overseas Filipino Workers na hindi bababa sa sampung milyon sa lahat na parte ng mundo, kahit sa kasulok-sulokan ng Alaska at Africa.
Palagi natin sinasabi na hindi dapat ipagyabang ni Arroyo ang ganyang sitwasyon dahil kaya napilitan ang mga Filipino maghanap ng trabaho sa ibang bansa ay dahil walang makuhang trabaho dito sa Pilipinas. Sino ba naman ang gustong magtrabaho sa gitna ng disyerto sa Saudi na malayo sa pamilya?
Lumalaki ang mga anak dito sa Pilipinas na hindi nakikita ng kanilang mga ina na nag-aalaga ng anak ng ibang tao sa Singapore , Hongkong o Italy. Maganda bang buhay yan?
Lumabas nga ang isip-buwitre ng administrasyong Arroyo nang hindi mapigilan ng mga opisyal na maging masaya sa nangyaring bumbahan ng mga terorista sa India dahil ang mga negosyante raw na dapat pumuntang India ay sa Pilipinas na pupunta at magpatayo ng call center.
Ganoon din daw sa turismo. Dahil daw sa gulo pampulitika sa Bangkok, sa Pilipinas na raw pupunta ang libo-libong turista galing Europe. Hindi ganoon ang nangyayari dahil Vietnam at Cambodia ang sumasalo ng mga turista na umiiwas na muna sa Bangkok.
Pina-alam ng Intel, ang pinakamalaking microprosessing na kumpnya sa buong mundo, na isasara na nila ang kanilang planta sa Cavite dahil sa mahina na ang negosyo ng computer. Halos 2,000 ang empleyado ng Intel.
Lahat na kumpanya sa electronics at information technology ay apektado. May pamangkin ako na nagtatrabaho sa isang Hapon na IT company sa Laguna, binawasan na ang araw ng kanilang trabaho. Siyempre, bawas rin ang kita.
Inamin na ni Labor Secretary Marianito Roque na araw-araw daan-daan na manggagawang Filipino ang nawawalan ng trabaho. Hindi na pwedeng retokehin ang unemployment figures.
Maliban sa mga nawawalan ng tabaho dito, parami na parami na ang mga OFW ang umuuwi dahil nawalan na rin ng trabaho.
Sabi naman ni Gloria Arroyo, hindi raw pabayaan ng administrasyon niya ang nawawalan ng trabaho. Kailan pa nangyari yun?
Wala na sigurong masabi ni Secretary Roque dahil ang kanyang solusyon pa rin ay ang pumuntang abroad. Nanganga-ilangan daw ng trabaho sa Bulgaria.
Ay naku.
magaling naman talaga si gloria.
magaling mang-agaw ng puwesto ng may puwesto.
magaling magsinungaling.
magaling manloko.
magaling mandaya.
magaling manuhol.
magaling magdrama kapag nabubuko.
at, higit sa lahat magaling kumapit sa poder kaya ginagawa kahit ano.
hindi katakataka bandang huli, kapag merong humingi ng kundisyong siya ay protektahan, baka ipagkanulo pati yong asawang mukhang baboy damo!
Si GMA kaya ipadala natin sa Bulgaria.
No country would accept her…even other planets…even hell.
hay naku tita ellen, that’s what happens when you have a [fill in the blanks] that’s:
A least we still have OFW remittances which is now in the area of more or less $15 billion/year that really keeps the local Philippine economy afloat. Thanks to all Overseas Pinoys! That’s one extra-ordinary help.
Most of the news reports that I am reading are mixed that says that there will be no recession in the Philippines but it seemed that everyone agrees that there will be an economic slowdown. But! Look at this! For example: this one says that the banking industry is not affected by the recession. This one says that there will be no recession in the Philippines. And this one says that the economy will be gloomy but no recession.
It sure would be gloomy when you see people losing jobs daily! In a situation where people are losing jobs, that means no work. No work means, no production. No production equals? Well, in the bigger formula of calculating GDP, it’s a reduction of GDP. And what does reduction of GDP means again? Ano pa nga ba. It’s called RECESSION. Dun din lang pala mapupunta.
I know, I know, we all need to be careful about the wordings, else, we might cause panic eh sobra na ngang paghihirap. But, what’s in the word? You only need to walk outside of your house in Manila and see the reality. In fact, this is how the Labor Secretary puts it… “This is not normal!” Aray ku!

Ang planta ng Intel sa Genral Trias, Cavite ay isang test-assembly plant na may 3,400 na empleyado. Flash memory, chipsets at microprocessors ang ginagawa dito. Nung isang taon pa, nagtanggal nang may 1,600 na karamihan ay bago o hindi regular. Pero ito ngayon ay tuluyan nang pagsasara. Talaga namang plano na nila iyan noon pa dahil nga sa pagbubukas ng mas malaki at modernong planta sa Vietnam bukod pa sa meron ding test-assembly plant sa Malaysia pero laking gulat ng mga tauhan nila dahil masyadong napaaga at hindi sila nakapaghanda. Bumagsak ang profit ng Intel ng 90% worldwide noong isang taon.
Maging ang Texas Instruments sa Baguio, ang pinakamalaking supplier ngayon ng piyesa ng cellphone at automotive chips ay nanganganib na rin at nagsimula nang magbawas ng empleyado. Bilang number one exporter ng Pinas, marami ang natuwa nung nagtayo ito ng $1B plant sa Clark Ecozone noon lang isang taon. Pero ilang araw bago mag-Pasko ay nagtanggal na sila ng 400 na empleyado sa Baguio, naglipat ng ibang tauhan sa Clark at may balak pang muling magbawas itong taong ito.
Ang dating #1 electronics exporter ng Pinas, ang Advanced Micro Devices na gumagawa ng microprocessors na panlaban sa Intel ay nagtanggal na ng mahigit 2,000 na empleyado at magtatanggal pa ng mahigit 1,000.
Ang Lear Automotive, ang exporter ng wire harness para sa mga planta ng automotive industry sa US, Europeat Japan ay nagtanggal na rin pati na ang Timex na gumagawa ng mga relos para sa US at nagbawas na rin. Ang Timex at Lear ay kapwa nasa Cebu.
Ang pagsasara ng isang napakalaking planta gaya ng sa Intel ay masakit di lamang sa empleyado nila ngunit maging sa mga suppliers nila na nagsipagtayo na rin ng kanilang mga planta at opisina malapit sa pabrika mismo ng Intel. Maraming matatanggal din sa kanila.
Karamihan sa maaapektuhan ay galing sa industriya ng electronics, automotive, at garments na siya pa namang pinakamalalaking pagawaan dito sa Pilipinas na nagbibigay trabaho sa mahigit isang milyong Pinoy.
Ano’ng gagawin ng ating D’ Great Economissed? Pagwawalisin ng kalye? Paano yung mga trabahador na sa simula’t-simula ay doon sa mga industriyang iyan nagrabaho? Wala silang malilipatan dahil ang buong industriya nila ay bagsak. Gagastusan ba sila ni Gloria para sa bagong skills? Pagkatapos saan naman sila mag-aapply? Magtitinda na lang ba sila ng fishballs? O magbi-byahe ng traysikel na de-padyak?
Sa ngayon ay wala akong naririnig na kongkretong plano ang gobyerno. Bukod sa pagyayabang na wala sa lugar, lumalabas ang tunay na incompetence ng gobyernong ito.
Bulgaria daw? Gago din ano? Magnanakaw pa ng trabaho sa mga giniginaw na ngang mga Bulgarian. Ulol!
Dito nga sa Japan, pinagpipilitan pa rin ng mga bugaw iyong mga Japayuki na kunyari ipapadalang caregiver daw. Ngayon pang ang unemployment rate ay pataas ng pataas? Not anymore
Kawawang Pilipinas at mga pilipinong niloloko ni Gloria Dorobo!
Tongue,
Ano ba yan, iiyak na yata ako sa report mo.
Oo nga. Kahit bigyan pa ng training para sa bagong ang mga nawalan ng trabaho ay saan naman gagamitin, e nasa CRISIS ang mundo.
Ipadala lahat sila sa overseas…bulgaria, somalia, lebanon baka pati Kenya, Zimbabwe at Timbuktu ay magpapadala na rin ng pinoy si Marianito.
Inutil na pekeng presidente, inutil na Marianito Roque. ‘Kala ko pa naman ay mediocre lang itong si Marianito, below average pala….
Sus, inang-mahabagin….
(nawala)…bagong skills..
@TonGuE-tWisTeD,
Naloka ako sa iniwan mong comment sa bahay ko hahaha!
I didn’t think about it when I was crafting my entry hahaha! Swak na swak actually with someone dun sa me dinoktor na degree hahaha!
chi,
nauna na akong umiyak sa iyo. Lahat ng mga iyan dating kliyente ko. Anong ibig sabihin iyan, e di walang projects, walang bidding, gutom ang TonGuE (Letse, wala pang LPG!)
Reynz,
Pwede ba, dalas-dalasan mo ang lecture dun sa mga estudyante mo para di sila nabobola ni Pandack Omama pag nagyabang ng kesyo recession-proof, at resilient daw na may kasama pang tapik sa sarili niyang likod. Kapal ng mukha, gusto pang maging adviser ni Obama tungkol sa US Economy 101. Totoo yan, yan ang ipinaggagalaiti ng bruhang may nunal na tinubuan ng pisngi kaya atat na atat maka-meeting si Barack para ipaalala na magaling siyang dumoktor.
Chi,
Just a week or two ago, CNN showed a program on the pirates in Africa (Somalia). Golly, a lot many of their victims that they do not release yet are Filipinos tapos magmamayabang pa si Talandi. I understand that they have been there as kidnap/hijack victims for months now. Ano na kaya ang kinakain ng mga pamilya nilang di nila napapadalhan ng pera?
But look at the news blackout on these Filipinos para di bistado ang kabobohan ni Gloria PhD daw! Magaling lang lumandi ang ungas!
Namamatay na’t lahat ang mga kababayan niya paarte-arte pa ang landi na gumigiri doon sa mga ina-appoint niyang mga general kuno! Ang tanda na ang arte kapareho pa rin noong bata pa siya na gumugulong pa sa sahig kapag di nasusunod ang gusto sabi ng mga nakakakilala sa ungas.
Sa Assumption nga kilalang-kilala ang ungas na wala na raw ipinagmalaki kundi presidente iyong tatay niya di gaya noong mga Marcos kids na tahimik lang daw. Ganoon daw kayabang ang ungas na wala namang ibubuga!
Ay naku Tongue, tatlong araw kaming pumila sa tindahan ng LPG dito sa Moonwalk.
Magastos pa naman kami ngayong sa gas dahil tig-lamig.Wala kaming running hot water. Nagpapakulo kami ng tubig tuwing maligo.
Kaya pesteng-peste ako kay Angelo Reyes who kept on insisting na wala raw LPG shortage. Ngayon umamin na.
grizzy,
speaking of inaappoint na generals, bukod kay Jovito the Butcher Palparan, si Gen. Tirso Danga na (siya ba si “The Emperor”?) ang bagong hepe ng National Printing Office. Ayos! Siya na ang mamamahala sa pag-imprenta ng mga balota, SOV at iba pang election papers. Yari na.
Sino na ngayon ang magwa-wiretap kay Gloria at sa Comelec?
No Job, No problem, Go in line in Malacanang and get unemployment benefit for six months.It’s about time Gloria pay back the community.LITSI! ay mali “Let’s See” dapat.
Ellen,
Ako nga nag-downpayment na sa tatlong dealer dito, may bilin pa ako na kahit anong regulator pa bibili ako basta ideliver kahit anong mauna. Awa ng demonyo, apat na araw na, wala pa rin. Napilitan na akong bumili ng electric. Paatras na ang buhay natin.
sabi nga ni Ted Failon, bakit hindi na rin magLPG czar si Arroyo?
Hello everybody. Marami na talagang Pinoy ang na layoff at nabawasan ang oras sa pagtrabaho. Dito na lang sa Province of Alberta Canada. maraming Pinoy ang ni-recruit. Dati full time ang trabaho (40 hours a week) ngayon 24 hours a week nalang. Paano ka mabubuhay sa ganong suweldo ang rate mga 8-10 Canadian dollars an hour. Isa pa, pag hindi caregiver ang visa pag pasok dito hindi ka rin puwedeng mag permanent resident. Magaling itong patakaran sa Canada, hindi ka rin puwede mag-under “the table employment” kasi pag temporary worker ka rito and Social Insurance Number (SIN) ibigay sa iyo nasimula ng “9”, hindi ka puwedeng mag double or multi employ na walang permit sa Immigration at hindi ka rin matangap sa pribadong kompaniya para mamasokan. Pero kung ikaw citizen, permanent resident or other than temporary workers ang SIN na ibigay sa iyon starts with number “7*. Isa pa, kung temporary worker hindi ka rin puwedeng tumawid sa US/Canadian border pag wala kang US visa. Marami ang nag-apply, ang bayad US$167.00, pag denied ka walang refund sa ibinayad mo. Another thing, hindi lahat ang kompania dito puwede mag hire ng foreign workers kailangan registered ka for that purpose. Iyon ang mapait na katotohanan sa foreign employment dito sa North America.
There is MIDAS TOUCH, yang czar, has MALAS TOUCH.
Gloria Arroyo will feed laid-off workers with brochures and propaganda materials. This is the best thing she can do to ease the impact of massive unemployment. Laway lang walang aksyon .
That’s right, Manong Diego. The OFWs laid-off from jobs in Taiwan that they invited to Malacañang were given brochures and other reading materials. That’s how this fake midget treats her Heroes! Are they now going to feed their families with Malacañang paper?
@TonGuE-tWisTeD,
I remember somebody left a comment in my blog to the effect that show-off lang to and picture opps. Although di ko na matandaan kung saang article.
Now, here’s a very nice article on the Inquirer which talks about the wrong strategies or priorities in the way the government will be using our resources in so far as the implementation of the 2009 budget is concerned. Then again, what’s new, di ba. Here’s an excerpt:
Read it here: http://globalnation.inquirer.net/cebudailynews/opinion/view/20090116-183726/No-money-for-the-Stimulus-Plan
I don’t about the solution of Malacanang regarding these problem of unemployment and OFW’s going home.Maybe,she’ll just take anti-depressant pill and sleep over with and wait for a civil revolution to erap este,erupt.
Unemployment is a worldwide crisis.Isaach H has elaborated also the crisis in Canada.Same thing in the middle east where our OFW priming the pump of Gloria’s economics,unemployment is reaching a high barometer and maybe,their only solution is to repatriate our “Bagong Bayani”.
In America the president is promising a large federal spending project over the course of two years. Numbers as high as $700 billion have been mentioned.America is bankrupt too, but is more borrowing and spending really the solution.
There seems to be a growing understanding that Obama will not raise taxes on the rich as he promised in the campaign. At least not for now. If we assume that Obama isn’t going to raise taxes then it must be assumed that any massive new spending project (in addition to the massive bailout already underway) must be paid for with government borrowing.
But, I wonder, is the solution to our current crisis really having the government borrow money and spend it? If so, how is that different than what President Bush has been doing for the last eight years? President Bush has borrowed and spent over $4 trillion and that obviously didn’t allow us to avoid the current crisis. In fact, some people are actually blaming Bush for the crisis. Why would borrowing and spending another trillion–or two or three–produce different results?
You see,folks in America we can barrow money to solve this crisis,but in the Philippines who will lend Arroyo? She has a tendency of not paying.In the Philippines the big problem I can see is not the unemployment crisis but, a crisis of confidence. Consumers lack confidence in the economy so they’re avoiding spending, and lenders don’t have confidence in borrowers so they aren’t lending. Building bridge to nowhere, Northrail and infrastructure won’t necessarily change that.Confidence need to be restored first so that our government can barrow more money to solve this crisis. As I said, this is a crisis of confidence, not unemployment.
Another problem I can see into this mess is our attitude, we are living beyond our means.The reality is that we’ve known for a long time that we’ve been borrowing 5/6 and saving too little. We knew we couldn’t afford the houses of Villar and lifestyles ( we are not prosecutors working at DOJ or a police general )we were trying to maintain, yet we bought into the hype. The situation simply was not sustainable.
I suspect the solution here is for us to finally face cold hard reality. We have to accept the fact that we can’t borrow our way into prosperity any more than we can tax our way into it. Consumers can’t take on more and more debt in a never-ending effort to obtain a lifestyle that their incomes don’t support. Nor can Gloria continue to borrow and spend money as if it had an unlimited supply. The debt load of Pidal government is becoming a problem for our grandchildren in many decades but for us right now also.
What is happening today isn’t because the government hasn’t spent enough money to help this crisis. It’s because (They deposited the borrowed money from Chinese in Swiss account and we can ask the Euro Generals for that to confirm our suspicion)have ALL been spending too much government money. We’ve been living on borrowed time, so to speak, and the time has come to adopt a more conservative and frugal lifestyle–a lifestyle more similar to that of our grandparents who lived in and learned from lining up early in the morning to buy 3 salop( I don’t remember what is in English,Pounds kasi ang timbangan dito) of NARIC.
The economy will eventually recovery. It always does. But, given the cause of the current crisis, I don’t think any recovery will be possible as long Mrs.Pidal is on the driver seat.
Everybody is right but not all the time. What is apparently true is that we are an agricultural base therefore we concentrate on what the land could bring. Anything outside it is a bonus, like winning three numbers of the lotto and if we lose it, lets not fuss about it as if its the end of world of GMA. Let her do her lies and we do our thing. In the exercise of our minds, we can curse the next guy and everybody else but dont remain lazy, dont just come to Manila and dream up to get a job abroad which could be already passe. Plant camote.
Saan naman kaya ginaya ni Aling Gloria ang kabalbalan ng strong economic fundamentals, kay McCain? Kaya nga natalo si McCain dahil sa pagbitaw ng salita na hindi naayon sa tunay na kondisyon ng bansa eto naman si Aling boladas este Gloria paiikutin na naman and ulo natin, lol.
What is apparently true is that we are an agricultural base therefore we concentrate on what the land could bring.–Valdemar.
So true,Amigo.When I was growing up,life then was easy.I can count the number of OFW on my left hand fingers without my toes.You could barely see a husband in town,they were busy plowing the land with “Kalakian”in the ricefeild.Their kids go to school and their wife breastfeed the 7th children and 3 months pregnant for number 8.Rice and camote was abundant with daing hanging in the kitchen the smoke of the firewood while cooking preserved the “daing na dalag” Who need refrigerator and LPG that time? life was simple,you can ask your neighbor to spare you a cup of bagoong and a cooked rice if you’re hungry while he cut your hair Bianzon style for singkwenta sintimos.
Then,here comes what they called “Last Visit” at Sangley point,their son joined the US Navy.In our town almost five families at the same time were having last visit every week-end,they butchered cow for celebration,the father wore “Ang Tibay” shoes for the first time and it was maybe,their first time to see Manila on a rented passenger jeepney for transportation.Every time there was a last visit,those students from the barrio who attend class in poblacion walked so many kilometers or wait for Victory Liner to pass-by every 2 hours.
After few years in the USS NEVER MOVE on the 7th fleet peeling onions and tik-tik kalawang,they spent vacation, english spokening, smoking salem and don’t you ever call them Pedro and Pablo because they won’t talk to you.If you address them PETE and PAUL they will spare you some stick of blue seal.
Those sailors were too selective when in comes to girls,they were looking for a nurse and teachers only.Our town ended up importing public and private school teachers from another town. These sailors who are now retired cleaned up the nurses and teachers professions in our town during that time.
The only business flourishing in the Philippines, mostly in Metro Manila are the “Skin Whitening” and “Boobs” enhancing clinics. With Pakyaw’s growing treasure, he will look like Michael Jackson soon – white and total make-over. At least he’s spending. Si Aling Dionisia, errr, Donya Diony nga, ibang iba na, hehe…full of chest na rin ata.
Puede kayang may Filipino Pirates on bangka? Sino kayang hoholdapin nila?
With the current economic crisis a lot of people may start to wonder about their job security. Already there is a lot of ‘advisers’ telling dissatisfied employees to find a new job before they quit their current one,so I thought it would be a great time to take a look at some of the most recession proof jobs.
Obviously it is different for everyone based on their own circumstances, as one person who is in a job that would be considered high risk in relation to recessions may successfully keep his job, while others who hold one of the 10 positions below may find themselves out of work.
But here are my picks for the top recession proof jobs.
1. Nursing
Even during economic hardship life goes on. People get injured. people still have sex and get pregnant. There are still accidents and all the other reasons people visit hospitals.They are beaten and whacked by their lender being forgetful to pay what they owe.
2. Accounting
Just because times are getting tougher doesn’t mean that people don’t need accountants. The increase in demand for accountants can be blamed on tougher accounting and auditing regulations, making this one of the most recession proof jobs.
3. Education
Kid’s need to be taught one plus one no matter what is going on with the economy, so Madam and Sir are also quite safe when it comes to job security. However location may play a part in where the jobs are located.
4. Software Design & Development
According to the US Department of Labor, software design and development industry is set to be one of the fastest growing jobs through to 2016! reyna elena,me and you are addicted to blogging.
5. Administration Assistants
As living expenses increase, it is getting harder to live on less. Which is why there is always a need for administration assistants. As current administration assistants retire or move onto higher paid jobs they need to be replace.
6. Green Jobs
This is Gloria Arroyo’s favorite and she appointed herself CZaring
Until we counteract the effects that we have had on the earth there will be a need for environmental scientists and other ‘green jobs’ to tackle problems such as global warming.
7. Police
Crime doesn’t stop as times get harder. In fact it usually gets worse.Burglars and robbers multiply in numbers. There will always be a need for police officers.
8. Security
Just like with the police, but as more people become unemployed crime increases which is why business’ will look at hiring more security staff to monitor their business premises.
9. Aged Care
Our aging population will need a lot of support and this will not change even during economic hardship.This is a good paying job compared to waiting tables.These senior citizen have pensions and maybe mansions,they give you gift on Christmas especially those old man,they enjoyed so much if you masturbate them,don’t worry it won’t get filthy, pipe is clogged it needs Drano..
10. Funeral Services
The sad fact of life is that people die,especially on this crisis,a lot of people will die on stab wounds,gunshot protecting their table and hunger, It doesn’t matter whether its the middle of a boom or recession, there will always be a need for funeral services and imbalsamador… – .
Ang ibig sabihin ni Gloria na “Our Fundamentals are Strong” ay ang pagnanakaw nila at malakas pa rin sila kumita kahit anong paraan. Pasensiya na kayo at ni isa yatang naka upo bilang isang head ng Dept.sa gobyerno natin ay puro pag nanakaw lang ang alam. Biro ninyo pati ang mga HUSGAGO sa atin ay bayaran.
Cocoy,
May I add the oldest profession, motel business, KTV bars. We are running out of girls in that trade at the rate the elderly Australians are marrying them off. I wonder if that Smith girl in Subic finally hooked her right Seventh Fleet sailor.
meron akong nasagap na kuwento mula sa comelec.
tunay daw na binoto si gloria arroyo kaya tanggapin na daw nating presidente ng pilipinas.
lamang daw talaga siya ng one million votes kay da king.
at ang one million na lamang na ‘yun ay buhat sa boto ng mga aso!
kaya eto, hindi lang nababoy kundi nagkaaso aso ang pamumuhay nating mga pilipino!
Wala talaga sa hulog ang pinagsasabi ni GMA na “Fundamentals are strong.” Maaring tama ang sinabi niya pero ang mga taong nagpapalakad sa gobeyerno ang siyang dahilan sa pagbagsak ng ating ekonomiya. Siya ay Doctor of Economics pero siya na rin mismo ang namumuno sa ikasisira ng ekonomiya. Paano niyang sasabihin na malakas ang pundasyon ng ating ekonomiya kung sa dalawang issue pa lang na nabanggit sa ibaba ay katumbas na ng kabuoan na ipinapasok ng mga OFW?
1- Ang trade deficit natin ay sumirit sa $7B + noong 2008.
2- Ang lumalabas na pera sa bansa dahil sa droga ay maaring umabot sa $7B.
Ang utang ng gobeyerno ni GMA mula ng siya ay umupo bilang presidente ay sumirit sa P3.54T. Ito ay dalawang beses ang taas sa mga pinagsama-samang inutang ng 3 presidente bago siya umupo. Malaking halaga nito ay naibulsa ng iilang tao.
Wala akong nakikitang pagusad sa ekonomiya habang si GMA ang nakaupo. Doctor of Economics, pwe! Quack doctor, pwedeng pwede.
Cocoy, I have no problem with your list of recession-proof jobs. Except #7 – Police
Crime doesn’t stop as times get harder. In fact it usually gets worse.Burglars and robbers multiply in numbers. There will always be a need for police officers.
It’s a catch-22 situation, more policemen will be needed because joblessness produces criminals, but many policemen are also criminals, so the more you hire cops, the more crimes.
There’s one big omission from your list – be a government official! The bigger the stimulus package, the more kurakot. Example: tell me, how can you audit the DSWD which personally handed P500 from the electricity bill aid fund to their list of qualified citizens? How many names were padded nationwide? How many of the rice imported for the poor were actually sold to the poor? How much of the Botikang Bayan drugs were later resold to the big drug stores? Or the more rampant – how many 15/30 and ghost employees are included in the payroll of city hall/munisipyo/kapitolyo? The list never ends.
“Lumabas nga ang isip-buwitre ng administrasyong Arroyo nang hindi mapigilan ng mga opisyal na maging masaya sa nangyaring bumbahan ng mga terorista sa India dahil ang mga negosyante raw na dapat pumuntang India ay sa Pilipinas na pupunta at magpatayo ng call center.”
*************************************
ibig sabihin lamang nito na ang kasalukuyang administrasyon ay natutuwa, nagsasaya at ipinagpipista ang paghihirap ng iba.
hindi lamang hindi pagiging ISIP BUWITRE kundi pagpapakita ng pagiging DUGONG ASO!
“hindi lamang pagiging ISIP BUWITRE kundi pagpapakita ng pagiging TUNAY NA dugong aso!”
As long as the US economy is bad, all others are also bad. If our economy is good then why send out lots and lots of OFWs in the first place .
For the US economy to be good, the rich countries with lots of dollars hoarded should buy more american goods so that those americans may have more jobs then the money to buy more imported goods instead of these rich countries like China , Japan put their excess dollars in US treasury bonds which is non-productive because these money doesn’t create direct jobs for these big time spenders. What these countries are doing is pump priming their own economies which are useless.
A big congratulations to the administration?
Galing ng administrasyon ni Gloria, ano?
Gloria Arroyo and her cohorts also murdered about one million FPJ votes. The Hello Garci sound bytes bounced around the globe million times. It’s also an unofficial world record.
The Evil Bitch has no brain. The ones who came up with all those schemes to protect her presidency were the smart ones. Again, I have to mention “smart” again. Who these evil advisers are, I’m curious to know.
