How to stop or solve the poverty in the Philippines?

[foolonthehill]

There will always be oligarchs that is why:
increase our wages by law so that we can have at least a fighting chance.

So convince na kayo? Let us not fight Hyperwage. let us support it. Dont worry about your supposed inflation or unemployment etc.

Let the business decide that they are rich anyway. and they will become richer bec now all the workers will spend that money anyway?

reality check
99% of workers are working hard (the owner are the ones not working hard)
99% are not spending unncessary (bec they dont even have money for the necessary!)

If theres no politics tomorrow:
1. and you still get P260 /day
2 and you need P700 per NSO

so what now, will the poor be better?

focus on the issue. the poor and politics are not directly related.

agree but do we have quality education here? guess not. our grade school pupils are lagging behind in math and science compared to our advanced neighboring countries like japan or singapore or maybe my standards are just too high. how many among our english graduates can speak and write fluent english? i know some teachers here who don't know correct grammar and spelling.

for me increasing wage is not the solution since it would also mean higher prices of commodities. perhaps we should encourage self reliance economy. back to farming is not a bad idea if only our government would support them.

No third world country have yet applied the Hyperwage Theory. The said theory is an original theory weaved out by Mr. Thads Bentulan- a Boholano, graduate of USCTC, Top of the Class, a columnist of the Business World, have traveled far and wide, known to most businessmen as the Street Strategist.

There is a chapter in the book that discusses a certain area in US which had troubles in their economy. Instead of trying other means to stimulate economic activity, what they did was to increase the salaries scales. Surprisingly, imperical data of that area indicated a growth in the economy and even an increase in employment.

I am an advocate to this theory because I have read it and understood it. Read it FULLY and then you will understand where the author and all the pro-Hyperwage people are coming from.

bro, the reasons why we have poor education are the following:
1. Our best teachers are already out of the country. Read: brain drain. And yes Singapore and Hongkong students are very good because they have educated maids who tutors them.
2. Some of the best teachers are working as maids in hyperwage countries
3. The teachers can not focus on teaching. Why? because they have problems on money due to very low salaries. Notice that there used to be a joke- tanang loan nakuha na sa mga teachers- porlon na lang kulang. With low salaries, the teachers are no longer motivated. It used to be a noble profession. I hope it still is.
4. Yes we are lagging behind Japan and Singapore- why, because their teachers are higly paid and they will have to work well commensurate to their payroll.
5. Our students here have a hard time learning. Why? because they have empty stomachs. You go to public schools and you will know that a lot of them go to school without breakfast and probably no baon.
6. The same students do not have access to books and basic needs. They go home to their unemployed parents and later they stopped studying to beg on the streets or start peddling stuffs to earn at a very young age.

And by the way- even if we improve our educational system and still have very low minimum salaries, it will never improve our poverty condition.

Again- Hyperwage is the single ultimate solution to poverty.
