Before rice, now cooking gas.
30-Jan-2009 03:38 AM Its just few months ago there have been a rice shortage in the Philippines, on which I personally don't understand. The Philippines is a rice producing country. Why in the world that a rice producing country have a rice shortage ? Well anyway, we also feel the effect of it. Before my rice is jasmine, now we use dinorado, and some time, I also use the commercial grain N.F.A., Is there really a rice shortage ? It feels that way, but talking to a local rice seller at the local market they say "We have plenty of rice they only hoard them as to make it price higher" if I will believe what the guy said it's made to become artificially lacking as to have a virtual shortage. The law of supply and demand states that higher demand means higher price. But now the same events are happening, this times its on cooking gas. Investigation is done by the government about this, and I quote the energy secretary said that "there's no shortage". It seems that somebody or someone is making another virtual shortage. And the effect of this artificial shortage is higher price of cooking gas. The government is at the puzzle. No shortage, but there's no supply ? Last time its rice, now it's cooking gas, what next... artificial shortage of pork ? :) Wrong timing for the graduates. The US economic crunch creates a domino effect of financial breakdown that is now felt strongly by the Philippines now. Layoffs everywhere and it's not by ten's but by the thousands, factories are closing, from laguna to cavite. Big manufacturing companies are closing. But that's not the end of it. According to the government it's going to be worst. It has been predicted that what is happening now is only the tip of the ice berg. More layoffs are seen up to March and April. Now comes the fun part. On March and April, are the months of new graduates from different schools and universities. Add these new graduates to the layoff job hunters, and you will have a field of battle ground ready to make war for the elusive jobs that's no were to be found. Platform for the politicians. Food shortage. Cooking gas shortage. Job shortage. Watch for this words, because this will be the topic of most politicians, eyeing for the 2010 presidential election. What laws can be done to prevent these shortages from happening? The most likely winner If you don't have a job where do you want to go? I suspect that the likely place to go for a cool place are, where else but at the malls. Artificial economy, good for the people. The best thing to do if you don't have a job is to create one for your self. Entrepreneurs will grow in the philippines. Lets analyze. An O.F.W. can't go back to the country he or she been. He or she is now too old to apply again for a new job. The company gives a gracious separation package for the years of service If you are this person what will you do? Answer: create a business! We will see for the first time, the booming of new business in the history of the Philippines. I predict, that the aftermath of this economic breakdown, will be a fertilized field of ground zero for business to florist and become fruitful. Secondary backup. On the other side of the coin. New business will not only come from the O.F.W.; most of them will come from the Philippine it self. Again lets analyze. Closing of big and small companies in the Philippines will open windows of opportunity. upon the closing of the business, he or she are given a lump sum of money, its from a company given to them as a separation pay for the years of service he or she have done. Too old to apply now for a job; the competition from new graduates will virtually shatter your resume to pieces. Well trained, skilled and have lump sum money. What will you do if you are this person? Answer: Entrepreneurship New businesses will create new jobs, the cycle of economy begins. [ previous ] [ next ] Feb 2009 4 5 6 7 10 12 16 20 27 |
