Philippines Economy: Better or Worse?

Friday, March 7th, 2008

A lot of people are talking about Philippines‘ Economy and some of them are saying that our economy is turning out better than before thru the help of the Arroyo Administration.

So, is our economy really better than before? Maybe in the point of view of the economists and capitalists our economy is great but for the common people which includes me and more than 70% of the people in the Philippines we really can’t see anything good that is happening to our economy.

The problem in the Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo Administration is that they really don’t seem to care about the needs of the Filipino people. They keep on insisting that the economy is getting better, but what the common people needs is for their life to be better.

They tell us Economy is getting stronger but the prices of all commodities are rising. Along with the price hike is low wage and worst of all, unemployment.Our government keeps on telling us that they are offering many job openings for the Filipino to solve the high unemployment rate in our country, but what they give are 3 or 6 months contractual positions which have no assurance of getting to be renewed. Is this how we solve Unemployment problems Mrs. President

?They keep on telling us that they are really happy that the Philippine Peso is getting stronger against US Dollar. Damn it! A lot of Filipinos are working abroad to earn money for their family here in the Philippines. Do you think they are happy to know that a couple of years ago their 200 USD is equivalent to Php10,000 already and now it is more likely below Php 8,000. Even those who are engaged in exportation feels these problems because they will be earning less. So is this something we should be happy about?

I know that a strong nation come with strong economy, high valuation of currency and strong faith of the people for the government. But what we lack now is the faith and trust of the people in our government.

For those who still insist that the life now is better than before, try to live the way of a common people, experience working your whole life and still you can’t afford to have a time to relax because your salary is almost not enough for your family. Try to live that way and you’ll realize what the common people are saying.

Psychopathic IT projects: a five-point checklist

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Psychopathic IT projects: a five-point checklist by ZDNet’s Michael Krigsman — The worst IT projects are ill-conceived, poorly executed, and ultimately doomed to fail. I call them psychopathic IT projects. Psychopathic individuals are cunning, pathological liars with no conscience, who nonetheless appear completely normal. Likewise, psychopathic IT projects hold the promise of great value, but cause only pain and suffering until they finally end. Here’s my five-point checklist [...]

3 Good reasons why most people like to work at home (home based)

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Ever wonder why most people are trying to find home based jobs? Here are 3 reasons why they choose to become one.

1. Freedom

  • When you are working at home, you have a total control of your self and your environment. You can choose to wear your usual clothes (depends if you need to be viewed in a webcam), schedule your time according to what you want, accept more projects(as long as you can satisfy all your clients) and do other things while working like: eating, watching tv, smoke, and nap for a couple of hours(this depends if your boss will allow to work on sporadic hours or if you work as freelancer.)

2. Money

  • Money, who can ever say that money is not their reason to work. Yes, we can say we work because we love what we are doing but we cannot say that we don’t care about the money. Working at home as a freelancer or home based employee gives you a higher salary than those of in the same field of yours who are working in a company. Prime reason for this is your not having the same expenses that they have like: traveling fare, food, salary deductions. Which makes you have a total control of your salary and receive at without any deductions.

3. Family

  • You can spend more time with your family because you are always at home. There maybe times when they cannot approach you because you are too busy or even getting really mad because of what you are doing, but your presence at your house still makes a difference and can give you more time cuddling your wife, take care of your children and have a meal with your family.
