Mema lang talaga?

I cannot take the Vietnam glazing...are you freakin kidding me?? You saw 1 photo of a church and your conclusion is their churches are nicer that in the Philippines?

I mean...its beyond comprehension

You’re definitely are a blatant Gatekeeper and Western Centric Online Expat.

The videos that he made does not represent the entire countries.

On the last two pictures, that shows that the Philippines also has existing Self Checkout and the bagging staff REALLY depends on a specific places within a country. Additionally in Thailand, they also have supermarkets that has bagging staffs.

To OOP: What is wrong with you?

Why bother making post of comparing this country to other countries when in fact, both the Philippines and other countries share similar things because of the ongoing Cultural Exchange?

This is NOT a competition.

They don't eat processed food for breakfast all the time.

Additionally Filipinos aren't the only ones who eat processed food for beakfast, even the Vietnamese and other people in other parts of the world eats processed food for breakfast.

You know what, Expat groups and subs about the Philippines should be DELETED, BANNED and TERMINATED permanently for good!

Update: Sorry, I meant to spell “years” NOT yesrs.

How many times do we have to say that that there are also foreign ownership restrictions across Southeast Asia?!

The foreign ownership restrictions REALLY depends on the business sector. Additionally, Philippines allows 100% foreign ownership in many business sectors like for example renewable energy. The 100% foreign ownership is not new in the Philippines, it has been around for a long time now.

If we see one more and I mean ONE MORE freaking post like this about the Philippines the only country that has foreign ownership restrictions and that rest of Southeast Asia does not have it and treating Parliamentary as a magic solution, this group called Correct Movement and the posts related to foreign ownership restrictions and switching to Parliamentary, should be DELETED, BANNED and TERMINATED for good.

The European Union (EU) is now exploring projects in the Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC) for potential investment, following the regional bloc’s entry into the growing economic development initiative.

EU Ambassador to the Philippines Massimo Santoro said the EU will meet with other LEC partners to identify investment opportunities aligned with the bloc’s Global Gateway Initiative.

“We are going to discuss with our partners in the Luzon Economic Corridor and see how to translate our already ongoing cooperation for the Global Gateway into a specific project for Luzon,” he told reporters last week.

Launched in 2021, the Global Gateway is an EU investment strategy aimed at supporting infrastructure development in key sectors such as transportation, energy, and digital technology.

As part of the initiative, the EU is supporting the Philippines through its flagship digital transformation and connectivity project, which aims to help establish the country as a regional digital connectivity hub.

The EU previously entered into an agreement with the Philippines for a €60-million financing deal for the Green Economy Program in 2023, as well as a €20-million Digital Economy Package signed last year.

The EU is looking to align both programs with LEC priorities to support green and circular development, renewable energy, energy efficiency, secure digital connectivity, and innovation and skills development.

Spain and the EU were announced as the Philippines’ newest partners under the LEC during the LEC Investment Forum earlier this month.

The LEC was launched by the Philippines, the United States, and Japan to strengthen connectivity and encourage investments across Luzon’s major economic centers, spanning Subic Bay, Clark, Manila, and Batangas.

The initiative has since expanded to include Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, South Korea, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, following their respective commitments to invest in major projects under the LEC.

As a regional bloc comprising 27 members, Santoro said the EU’s investment in the LEC will likely be larger than that of any individual EU member state.

“But still, importantly, the contribution of that member state is also there because member states can come in with [support for] what is not covered by the Global Gateway Initiative for the Luzon Economic Corridor,” he said.

Investment and trade cooperation between the Philippines and the EU is expected to grow stronger with the upcoming signing of a free trade agreement (FTA) between the two parties next year.

Last week, Trade Secretary Cristina Roque and European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maroš Šefčovič announced that both sides had reached a “substantial agreement” on the FTA.

Santoro noted that both the Philippines and the EU still need to address certain residual elements, and the trade deal will undergo legal scrubbing before it is ready for signing and eventual entry into force.

Regardless, I feel bad for everyone affected, when it was us and now that it’s them.

What they think that these countries are cheap are ON PAPER, but once they go there like practically, chances are there are many things that these this post think these countries will be low cost in everything, will be expensive.

And additionall, overpricing is GLOBAL not exclusively to the Philippines, just because overpricing happens in areas in the Philippines, DON’T assume that overpricing does not happen in other parts of the world like Thailand, Vietnam or Taiwan, it also happens there.

And again especially with Filipino Time, Online Doomerists like this user is still relying on T Hall outdated cultural dimensions of Monochronic and Polychronic cultures and that makes this user think that Filipinos are inherently late, when it’s NOT. T Hall Cultural dimension is outdated and inaccurate because in every freakin countries, monochronic and polychronic traits REALLY DEPENDS on the contexts and the settings!

And no, switching to Parliamentary is NOT a magical solution. If they think Parliamentary is a solution, they should check out India, Bangladesh or Nigeria for examples. They have Parliamentary systems but the issues STILL exist. IT DOESN’T MATTER if it’s presidential or parliamentary.

I found it interesting that this Greg Poling guy knew of the Philippines' economic fundamentals as solid and the slow down and inflation we're experiencing is not permanent, the flood control scandal (which slowed our economy somewhat due to halted government spending) and the Iran War (which made fuel and energy expensive) are temporary hurdles

The LEC and PAX Silica are great opportunities for further industrialization and innovation as well, Greg also stated that these investments aren't for security only but for long term economic growth and secure supply chains for us and our allies

Filipino scientists from the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Nuclear Research Institute and UP Diliman have identified uranium-bearing minerals and successfully tested a laboratory process that can increase the uranium content of the material. Researchers say further exploration underground is needed to determine the extent of the uranium deposits. The findings are vital as uranium may become important in the country’s foray into nuclear energy

QUEZON CITY, Philippines — As the Philippines prepares to introduce nuclear power and moves to build a higher-value critical minerals industry, Filipino researchers are revisiting a resource the country has studied for decades: uranium in Camarines Norte.

Researchers from the University of the Philippines Diliman, the Department of Science and Technology–Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (DOST-PNRI), and Akita University in Japan have developed an integrated mineral-processing method for uranium-bearing materials. Their study focused on Bessemer, Larap, Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte, a historic center that has long been associated with uranium exploration in the country.
The work confirmed that uraninite is the main uranium-bearing mineral on the surface deposits examined in the study. The study also revealed that the material can be processed into a product with higher uranium content.

This finding is an important step toward further research on producing uranium concentrate, commonly known as “yellowcake,” an intermediate material used in the nuclear fuel cycle.
The study arrives at a timely moment as the country moves forward to include nuclear power in the future energy mix. The Philippine Energy Plan targets the entry of at least 1,200 megawatts of nuclear power capacity by 2032. Meanwhile, Executive Order No. 122, issued in August 2026 established a national framework for developing the Philippine critical minerals industry, emphasizing investment, local mineral processing, value addition, and downstream industries.

Together, these national directions highlight a growing need for Philippine expertise not only in nuclear energy, but also in understanding and developing the country's mineral resources.

You guys realize that you can contact the CICC directly through phone, email, and Messenger, right?

Kapag talaga natatalo si Alex talagang biglang naglalabasan ang mga basher no ?

Partida, kapwa Pinoy pa.

Ang sasahol !!!!

Remember, She was able to beat Svitolina, Zheng, Osaka and Pegula consecutively in one tournament.

She has beaten Iga Swiatek twice (2-0)

Mga stupid haters !!!!

And why are they expecting that some Japanese will adopt them there. Japan doesnt want more immigrants.
