Mr. Cu-Unjieng always takes the objective view. His discussions are always credible and compelling.

[John-tzub]

[raymonileto]

In the Philippines, the government is mostly run by lawyers instead of people with the right skills for their jobs.

I always look forward to early part of the month Stevienomics. I fully agree to his thesis that value-added manufacturing rather than import substitution is the way to grow the economy.

If only there are at least 2-3 Stevie Cuunjiengs to run the economic sector of the Philippines. We could’ve been on better standing. Sayang talaga 😔 coz they vote the most popular or action stars without analyzing their credentials, credibility, knowledge and experience of their candidates. It’s sad that voters can be bought during elections.

Our economic managers should listen— finally a well respected and renowned global investment banker hit the nail on the head —what’s so wrong about too leaning on import dependency strategy….blind liberalisation and doctrine economic management -not smart economics. Don’t worry, after Indonesia and Vietnam overtaking us, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia soon too.

[reinvm]

Thanks once again. I hope you can multiply more Filipinos like you.

[paruparo]

how can we establish nickel processing industry if our power cost is so prohibitive??

Arroyo was already on the right track, but the aquino, duterte admins backtracked on mining, duterte even said, "it is a sunset" industry, really ignorant.

Phils in the late 80s-90s lost the cement, steel, energy, fertizer industries which were thriving/starting to thrive.

Ours is a trading economy. A large chunk of our GDP is consumption. Perhaps we have more shopping centers and malls than manufacturing centers.

[jaimejr.a.hernandez]

What an incisive analysis on what has happened sadly to our economy. Truly Stevienomics 101 and 100.

[daneurope]

marcos can tap this guy as his econmic team..marcos can design economic format for the philippines econmy..

[felicisimomalinao]

Very good advice for our government. The labor market in the US is analyzed, as it is in actual business and hiring behavior of business executives.

[joseX]

o yan na ang sinasabi me, take advantage of developing our raw materials into higher value commodities, matagal na ito wlang action!

[carloa]

Thank you sir for your thoughts. We really have to point out deficiencies in our supply chain, and mindset with regards to development. Hoping the ones incharge would get it. Also, I now appreciate Clinton more than Reagan.

Mineral processing requires a lot of energy. We don’t have sufficient supply of power. We need that first before we can get miners to do processing.
