Holz (Daily Bread Author) says; Together we stand firm when life's headwinds gust our way together . Does this quote resonate well with you? We have witnessed nations like South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Denmark were quite successful in their efforts to contain the global virus. When people from nations are united, they can achieve positive results despite life’s headwinds such as covid-19  that took the lives of people by the thousands daily. But when people play the blame game, the repercussions are just too enormous. The system that was thought to be stable, strong, and envied in nations have failed. Even nations w

Infrastructure as a Driver For Growth

Does the Aquino administration's pride regarding the country's GDP growth 7.2% for 2013 reflect the country's poor infrastructure? The Philippines may achieved the said positive growth rate however foreign direct investment of US$3.9 billion 2013 is no where close to US$13 billion and US$33 billion as FDI achieved by Vietnam and Thailand respectively. It is no wonder FDI investments in manufacturing due to poor infrastructure is low in the Philippines as compared to the high manufacturing activities going on with both the Asian neighbors. If and when the infrastructure is improved in the country, there is another issue of limiting foreign investors to 40% ownership. This is another issue that needs to addresses by the government.

Tax to GDP Ratio Rises

The 13.3% ratio for 2013 compared to ratio of 12.9% year 2012 based om the collections made by the BIR and BOC looks bright . Comparing this tax collection achievement with other advanced and wealthy countries such as Sweden 54% ratio and Denmark 33% ratio, our revenue collection has a long way to go to achieve the same. The Swedes and the Danish must be feeling these high ratios given the high quality if life extended to them. This come to mind again a habitual question on " on where do the tax payer's money go"? There seems to be Mismatch between increased tax ratio and the quality of life of an ordinary citizen. Rossano Salvosa Almonia MBA University Professor Apparel Buyer / Production Sent from my iPhone

Cold Front

Chicago during the Polar Vortex (Photo credit: akasped ) I have been monitoring the " polar vortex " that is presently swooping the US . So what is a polar vortex? According to Wikipedia definition "A polar vortex (also known as a polar cyclone, polar low, frigid twister, or a circumpolar whirl ) is a persistent, large-scale cyclone located near either of a planet's geographical poles . These cold-core low -pressure areas strengthen in the winter and weaken in the summer". Kennon Road near Camp 7, Baguio City with transport busses (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) I can quite relate as i presently live in a mountainous area where temperatures have recently dropped to 11 degrees Celsius . Though this is a far cry from the negative temperatures in the areas hit by the vortex. At 11 deg Celsius, i have to have at least three layers of garment and a pair of socks to keep me warm inside my home during the daytime. Having lived for about 16 years in vari
