PH Politics

I'm not really a very political person but with the current news flooding the media about how the Philippines leadership is pushing for more Chinese connections and strains possibly with the western world, I am not really sure.

National News:
PD heading to China. Pinoy business men looking for opportunities to export more to China and increase the tourism market. There's even some infrastructure projects that Ph is looking to have Chinese investing in Ph. I've read some comment about infrastructure is better as long as it's not food, considering that there are a lot of fake and almost health-hazard food products connected to China.
I beg to disagree with that. Neither should be allowed to flourish. Food is health-hazard but infrastructure might spell bigger disaster as they may have bigger safety issues for the masses. Imagine that?

So what will Philippines exactly benefit from doing business with China?

First, non-quality goods flooding the market.
Second, safety-hazard infrastructure that they might bring in.
Did someone say tourism? Aha! Don't they know that Chinese tourists are one of the worst? We've heard of a lot of complains about them here and there and I'm not sure these are the kind that you would want to visit your home country in flocks.

Forgive my anti-Chinese sentiments. I am not really a big fan of Chinese since the Spratly Islands issue started.

Update: Oct. 20
The recent news on the back-to-back typhoons that hit the Northern Philippines has been eclipsed by the PD in China trip. I was not the only one trying to find news about the typhoons but all I see on the online broadsheets are PD and China: how many billions worth of investments he bagged, how he introduced B. Marcos as possibly the next VP, and how he is raising the anti-American sentiments by saying that he's cutting ties with US.

Yeah, right. With US still the main investor in Ph like the BPO industry and more Filipinos moving to US as nurses and still trying, I'm not really sure how that will play out. Worst scene that I can picture is, specially if Trump wins, US will pull out their BPO investments, will lead to more jobless people in exchange for what? Export market for our bananas? More Chinese tourist coming in that doesn't give a **** about our environment? Should we start training our BPO resources to learn Chinese so they can also shift to that market? Duh. Blank wall there. There are more Chinese in terms of population that can very well fill that human resource.
They won't be needing the Filipino people. They only want our natural resources. Oops! Wait! I just remembered. How about the few teachers and Casino OFW working in China now? Would that job possibility increase?

Now, that is the pessimistic view on how I see where Ph is heading if PD will continue on being friendly with China. It's just annoying. At this point, I am really going to be desperate to acquire another nationality before Ph becomes China property. No thank you.
