i been working for the past 17 years, & see how industrious & intelligent & good nature our Filipino workers & businessmen..so i keep asking myself for the past 17 years why our country is poor??
To tell you the truth, it is not the high electricity cost, it is not the NPA, it is not our labor laws, definitely it is not because Filipinos are lazy.. it is not China or USA that is the cause of our poverty.. They are just contributory...
truth of the matter is that Philippines is still a poor country mainly because of RED TAPE...Red Tape in the government... Red tape caused deliberately or just pure neglect by corrupt or lazy government people , so there is also Red tape in the private sectors as a consequences of the red tape in the government.
Red tape slows down everything.. with so many permits & so many people to sign before an endeavor can began, imagine the economic losses? any endeavor whatever it is, like business or building a gigantic Economic zones or just small house or whatever it is, will stimulate economic activities & help our country to rich & prosperous.
proof of the matter is the severe red tape in the permits of the cellsite tower that is causing our internet to be one of the slowest in the world, when the president curses, & asked LGU to speed things up, it did! so we really need a strong & decisive president to at least lessen this Red tape in the government
so anyting that will help solve this thing called red tape such as the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) created by the office of the president is a welcome news..
