PHL among least competitive countries in IT — survey

[masakiton]

---

ang gobyerno mismo dli interesado sa IT and R&D. im not sure if its even part of its objectives.. wala kaayu investment sa IT sector. Look around, ang NBI nag "back to" manual processing, ang ZTE - NBN na program, wala jud na fix, government offices ga excel or worse, and this list goes on. Ang priority sa gobyerno kai mag gukod sa past admin, aside from that, im not very sure unsa pa. Sayang unta kai i beleive we have the labor force (massive) to compete, pero there isnt enough support.

ang current admin intresado ra nga mag gukod sa previous admin

Lets face it, outsourcing is the trend, even in India or Singapore everything is being outsourced. I see outsourcing good because it redistribute the wealth. the only downside of it is that Americans/Europeans are losing jobs, and the rich getting richer, but at least we get a piece of the pie.

unemployed Americans/Europeans = no income
no income = dili maka palit2x sa mga goods/equipment
dili maka palit2x sa mga goods/equipment = less demand = affected ang manufacturing sector sa lain nasud
dili maka palit2x sa mga goods/equipment = less ang people nga i support = affected ang nga nag support nga naa sa lain nasud

Does Lexmark here even have RnD?

RnD does not have to start in the government. It's true RnD is expensive, not everybody or hell you need groups for it to have a kickstart.

Ang Pilipinas hilig kaayo ug instant. Instant noodles, instant coffee bisag instant panglawas. The rest of the world is already trying to improvise anything instant. Kita, consume pirmi ug instant nya walay panghuna-huna on how to make something instant more innovative.

Like for example, people here want a website. Ang mga developer sad diri sa country, mag-gamit na ug mga pre-made frameworks or CMSs then palit lag instant skin. Instant money na. No thought on innovation, no thought on making your way.

I don't deny I have the same mindset. But I am proud to be somebody who pushes innovation and I am aspiring to work soon in RnD. I download open source projects and modify them on my own. Di magsalig ug premade.

i disagree. it doesn't have to be initiated by the government. i don't think anyone insinuated that RnD should BE started by the government. don't go wayward on this one. what they are trying to say is government SUPPORT. there has to be government support. and for that matter a government funded comprehensive RnD should be done as well so as to promote RnD's in the country. but needless to say our government is cash-strapped so thats another story. government support should be done like tax(GAT, VAT,e-VAT. heck even withholding Tax) incentives for companies putting up RnD's here in our country. much like what the government has SUPPORT for the BPO like providing tax breaks if you put up business on a NEDA Declared Eco-Zones.
