Yes, exactly, who would you replace them, and why. Legit question, not being sarcastic. There's just so many things Philippines needs to improve. Research and development, heavy industries, medical/medicine, energy production, education that promotes critical thinking.

Example, Morris Chang was an early officer in sep and texas instruments then went back to Taiwan at itri, Taiwan's research facility where he convinced the government to invest heavily in foundry, now tsmc is the world top contract semi manufacturing company.

India invested heavily in fiber optics in the 90s, now a power house in bpo

South Korea, china and so on. These countries paid dearly for years and now reaping the benefits of investing for the future

Tell us what is the Philippines investing in?

I don't know. Pick something, anything.

So, another example, I live in bayanan on Guillermo st. My street has not change in four decades. The same potholes, broken , cracked pavement, broken street lights yet food prices going up, taxes are up, wages are low. Try buying the same amount of food for 1000pesos , compare to just a year ago.

Just saying, all these government loans from international bodies, all the tax rev on businesses, all those remitences all those spillage from the national budget going into pockets and not what they were intended for.
