These recent articles are so sad to read
The economy is designed to benefit the Oligarch landed elites, those generations of workers see them as benefactors, these is how the feudal system works and the way the landed gentry perpetuate their land holdings. What we need is a genuine land reform, not the current one with full of loopholes were the beneficiary peasant was forced to sell their newly acquired land back to their former owner with a tidy sum. And then develop the land into realty and commercial district earning billions instead of using it productively, producing food to feed the masses instead of imports. (mostly smuggling and price gouging depriving the gov't of needed revenue)These recent articles are so sad to read

‘There’s No Other Job’: The Colonial Roots of Philippine Poverty

(ample front and the back bumpers unlike the other ASEAN women in the region).
Sounds like Marcos should setup special economic zones for industry only...who am I kidding Marcos will do squat shit probably misunderstand the policy and give the US an extra military base.The economy is designed to benefit the Oligarch landed elites, those generations of workers see them as benefactors, these is how the feudal system works and the way the landed gentry perpetuate their land holdings.

Another solution is to open up the economy (except for land, there should be a Land Usage Act that control the unwanted real estate development and protect agricultural land ) for foreign competition instead of the current 60/40 rule. In this way it will make the Philippine attractive to investors as we are situated in a prime real estate in the region. We can out compete the Singaporean, the Thai, the Indonesian and definitely with Cambodia with our fluency of the English language, heck We can beat the Indians in outsourcing without using the head shake....lol and of course our beautiful beaches and women (sound appropriate when use together....lol) , I'm bias but I think in terms of beauty the Filipina hold that distinction both in facial feature, complexion and the curves of the female body.

His family are the main beneficiary of that feudal system as his father made it more inclusive by giving public lands to his cronies to exploit its resources and getting a 25% cut. The elder Marcos had institutionalized the Traditional Politics with Guns, goons and gold that's his legacy that BBM want to reestablished with a kinder and more refined image.
Well he have to protect the family wealth that his father and mother painstaking stole from the country. From a conservative estimate worth $8 billions BUT it's closer to $15 billion if you ask me. With that amount family come first before country, especially as the American had sweeten the deal by rehabilitating the Marcos family name and down playing its wrong doing.
Well if you ask me, that movie stinks in high heaven and bomb at the box office, the journalist who wrote that reviewed need his brain examined or he or she is a paid hack. The number one issue is the economy not the recurring Chinese threat theme and the SCS issue, its boring and we want the meat of the matter settled and look after not by grandstanding. We're not Indians we demand action.
Excellent engineering of the Airbus A350, exceptional piloting skills from the A350 pilots and sheer luck are what saved all 379 passengers and crew onboard Japan Airlines (JAL) Flight 516. Without any of them, this collision could've easily resulted in 200-300+ fatalities. This is also the first hull loss accident for the A350.
