MERGED: RP among most restrictive in foreign investments?

[amingb]

---

Pero dili ni mahitabo ang Charter Change hangtod sa hangtod nalang jud ta ani ... Dili mosugot ang mga Yellow Army ilisan ang Legacy sa ilaha Saint Cory ..... Magkamatay pa, bahala na Gutom mo tanan diha ...

Ang mga Insek kaliwat nila dili pud mo sugot anang Open Economy kay lugi ilaha negosyo ... bahala ug mogasto sila ug ginagmay nga Million e Lobby sa mga Tongressman ug Senatong basta lang as is ang Provision sa economic provision sa Constitution ....

Parihas rana sa CARP nga dili jud mahitabo ... REBULOSYON ANG KAILANGAN ....

There are some who find big non-Cebuano businesses like S&R as threats to local businesses that happened to be in retailing.

==========================
Can't you imagine dili daw pwede maka own ug ownership ang isa ka foreign investor na mu labaw sa 40% ug dapat ang 60% kaysa Pinoy ra daw...

Diin di i ka pag hunas.. 40% and 60% sharing is equal gi design na to protect our local investor and to set barriers with the foreign investor. 1987 constitution was after the turmoil and economic downfall sa Pilipinas because of the civil unrest. I think 40/60 is still appropriate nowadays since we have economic zone, foreign investor can invest 100%. You may go to Bureau of Investment for further.

No wonder, Daghan instant milyonaryo na negosyante.. at the same hinay2x ug pang hawa mga investors..

Hmmm... Kanus.a pman kaha ma usab atong Constitution..? It only proves BLOATED ug OUTDATED na najud ang 1987 Constitution courtesy of PENoy's Mother creation...

1987 is just an outdated constitution mao ra gyud na ang problema..

Do you agree with the theory that the entry of Krispy Kreme in Cebu will destroy all the opportunities of local entrepreneurs who intend to open sell donuts using the same commercial model that KK and it's rivals Dunkin Donuts and Mr. Donut used?

Those local entrepreneurs could use a lot of help, and this is where protectionism can come in.

^^ agree bai..but donuts is not the only product we can sell bai. we have local brands lang shamrock, julie's, lolo tinongs..etc. if only we have laws that would help promote "Buy Local" culture, then di jud na sila maglisod. the problem is, wa man ta ana bai.. ang mga consumer adto man sa "branded" kay sosi ang dating..

The Most Important Thing is the Majority of the People can have decent job ... dagko sueldo dili na mo abroad ... dili kay protectahan ang nogosyo sa mga insek .....

Another Thing sa PEZA yes they allowed 100% but in PEZA is a small to medium enterprize ... ang atoang kinahanglan katong mga Project nga dagko that is outside of PEZA ....

In the event that Cebu revokes the business licenses of Shakey's, Pizza Hut, Yellow Cab and S&R and locks them out permanently, can you live on pizzas served only by Alberto's Pizza and Da Vinci Pizza or other Cebu-based pizza makers?

Laws written with protectionism or buy-local-only in mind can be made but that would deprive people of choice. What would the WTO think of Cebu?

The other flaw of protectionism is that local businesses may no longer care about improving the quality of their products and services. In fact, there are hardly any improvements being made in today's global competitive business environment.
