PH government officials undergo
special meeting for possible means of boycotting product from China for the
needs of the country and tries to look for a new source to import. The plan was
almost perfect as such Philippine business group intervenes and disapproved its
plan to boycott China made products.
In an official statement released
by the business group “risking on a trade war towards china is not
a good solution, since the Philippines economy dependently relying on goods
from Chinese”. Chamber of Commerce chair Edgardo Lacson said that
boycotting products from Chinese will result to consequences towards Philippine
economic situations. The word “boycott” may sound good to most of the Filipino
citizens who do not understand deeply, but we Filipinos should take in mind
that a greater percentage of our overall economic activities were connected to them
“Chinese”.
Lacson added “Our country is very
much dependent with the Chinese made products, and if boycott will be
implemented. The Philippines might be retaliated with Chinas allies. In return
Philippine products will also be boycotted.
Time for Philippines to change course and learn from it's mistake. Our country can live without Chinese goods. We should NOT be dependent to low quality/poisonous products from China.
ReplyDeleteOf course the chamber of commerce will not agree to this because many of them are pure blooded Chinese and some of them are even secretly funded by the Chinese Militatry. And I say to this businessman what if the other way around happen. China will secretly start a covert war with the Philippines by putting poison on the products or even started to stop selling this products to the Philippines? What is our alternative plan?
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid of repercussion Mr. Lacson. Be afraid of what will your peso is contributing for when you purchase Chinese products... they will use it to create more armaments to invade our country.
ReplyDeleteIf we won't do this now...then when? If Vietnam already started to do it...why not Philippines? In the first place, it is never good to put all your eggs in one basket. If we won't diversify, and fine new import partners in the end...we will still be on the losing end when China decides to boycott us as well. Better do it now, rather than wait for it to happen to us. Our country...specifically our Government has always been reactive. Waiting for things to happen before doing something, it's about time we become proactive, and act now for the good rather than wait for the worst to come
ReplyDeleteBoycotting products from china immediately is a very unwise move and would result to really bad economic consequences for the country. I hate what china is doing to our dear nation but our economic sphere is dominated by chinese goods and a large part of our exports go to china (i.e. The Banana Industry) so a boycott or an embargo against an economic superpower would be economic suicide for our nation. Now I am not saying that we should just give up, there is a solution to boycott China but we must prepare for the resulting aftermath first. I suggest we first find other trade nation partners with a economic potential like that of China and close a proper trade agreement with such a nation (India would be a good candidate) so that a counter embargo against us by China would barely be felt, I would suggest our officials make trade agreement with other potential nations first to create what I would like to call an economic parachute before we jump of the Chinese economic plane
ReplyDeleteSi Edgardo Lacson Malamang Chinese yan o may investment sa China or tinatangkilik nya produkto ng CHINA, noon naman walang made in CHINa and yet ok naman economy ng PHILIPPINES, its right time na tangkilikin natin ang gawang PINOY otherwise MR. Lacson kung d ka PINOY....Buy PINOY Products and develop more PINOY products to counter CHINESE made products...
