Break the chains of oppression & exploitation from Monopoly Capitalism, Feudalism, & Bureaucrat Capitalism. Put up a National Democratic Govt. w/ a socialist content.

That's right! Do away the culture of corruption. Change must start from within.

First of all, our country needs still a good education, implement good health to every citizenry and promote peace and order in our country to attract more tourists local and international.

al1974,
what industries/sectors have your worked in
what is you educational discipline

and why are you convinced Hyperwage will HELP rather than DESTROY your sector?

have you reached supervisory or mgr level?

I am a graduate of Industrial Engineering. I have been an Area Manager to a fastfood giant, an Operations Manager to a retail company and currently an Area Manager to a pizza giant. I have also been consultants to some businesses.

I have read the book and have known Mr. Bentulan personally. He might not know me but I know him being the bro-in-law of a close friend. Our VP, who graduates from AIM reads his books. My friend and mentor who is also a very intelligent person having hailed from Phil Science reads his book. A lot of my friends discuss the Hyperwage Theory and we are convinced. By the way, Mr. Bentulan is the STREET STRATEGIST- a columnist in Business World. Try to google him and you will find out Thads Bentulan is a BRILLIANT person and you'll be amazed how his brain works--- strategic thinking in its FINEST!

I also admire how to have digested his book. (",)

Hi Ms. foolonthehill- here is my take
I agree with you - purchasing power[PP] is key but it is not in anyway be the key in solving poverty in our country. It is part of the objective but it not part of the machanisms to mimimize poverty. It is not a tool but product of a designed mechanism to solve poverty.

Definition:
1. ability to spend: the ability to make purchases according to income and savings
2. value of currency: the value of a currency measured in terms of the goods and services it can buy
reference:encarta

You may argue that let's give higher wages then to increase income. Or in another manner, let's print more money ang give it to the poor "remember Eddie Gil" who promised to give 1M for each pinoy. Can he do that? if given the FREEDOM, yes he can. But what happens then, you need to bring a bag of money to buy a kilo of fish [inflation] because the balance between supply and demand was radically tilted.

Going back to the topic - I believe one can uplift standard of living through better education and working well. Starting things right matod pa. Understanding where you are and knowing what to do with your situation is key before you can even think about purchasing power. Without education or sound knowledge, often, it is hard for one to analyze what is causing his/her poverty. You cannot give something you do not have but you can work on having something you do not have.

Sir,
We have been there, done that- we are in a country with very high literacy level. You need a college diploma to be a cashier or a hotel staff. If you read the book Hyperwage Theory then you will tota;lly understand where Ms' Foolonthehill and where my analogy is coming from. PM me of your email if you are interested and I'll email it to you

do you know the difference between urban and rural areas? kanang mga nasa uraban have higher wages compare to those in the rural areas because barato ila standard of living there... :d ang imong 1k sa rural dako na value itry daw buhi sa manila na 1k ra imo kwarta maka abot ka ha ug one week...

market expansion.. kaya naa sila didto...

I suggest you read the book HYPERWAGE THEORY and then you will understand Foolonthehill arguments. I can email you the book if you want. Don't just argue right away. Peace!
