The World Trade Organization (WTO)

28

February

WTO has come up with an access to different countries.  The aim of the WTO is to make these developing countries join in the global market.  That the local products or crops being manufactured in the localities should be sold to other member countries - an exchange of products in a broader arena of market.

Developing countries are unable to grasp the global market due to insufficient resources.

The Philippines as a member country, rice is the staple food.  The ballooning population demands a greater supply of rice.  Thought Philippines is an agricultural land the rice being produced is not enough to sustain the needs of its people.  Thus, the government resulted to import rice from other countries.

It so happen that the price of the imported rice compared to the local produced rice, the imported rice is more cheaper than the local produced, giving the local farmers inability to compete with the imported rice.

Although the government has specific ruling on the quantity of products to be imported, the effects on the small and medium industries are big that sooner or later these industries will die.
Kenya is another country being affected by the WTO.  The farmers too are unable to compete in the world market.  The local milk products (eg margarine), the price in the local market is higher than the margarine imported from other member countries.  Since the products are imported, the business of the other countries will gain and the products made local will loss.

The same with Indonesia, if agreed upon, small fishermen will soon die because the waters of Indonesia will then be exploited by foreign fishing boats.  Indonesian fisher folks could not compete with these huge and advance facilities of foreign fishing boats.

These are only few of the problems of the less develop countries that the WTO should look upon.


Election again? Same old story

Choosing by casting our vote to our favored candidate to be the leader is a right.  Today, voter are becoming more aware of the capabilities and abilities of the candidates.  But on the other side of the election, business with potential market during campaign period boosts their profit in double.

“Gold Goons Guns” is a machinery that accompanies election.  As featured in the Reporter’s Notebook of GMA7, the backyard production of guns grew in double due to election.

The next issue to be heard by the unaware voters will be the vote buying and flying voters - a problem that are recurring every now and then.

After the election, the contents of all the newspapers will be cheating. If the a candidate wins, he/she cheated, but if a candidate losses, he/she was cheated.  This is the connotation of an ordinary citizen.

After proclamation, the candidate will then take the seat of governance.  This leader will then make a unique move disregarding the previous plan that ha been started by the unseated leader. Then again after, a new plan will be formulated, to be disregarded again afterwards.

This indicates somehow the idea that history repeat itself.  We are repeating again and again formulating plans that is not achievable because the range of action requires a time that lapses the period of office.

Long term plans are more reliable than shorter plans, yet nobody wants to be shadowed by another, unless a leader wins the next election then the plan will materialize.  But winning for the second time requires a double effort during the period of office.  And an excellent job should be done within the governance period - a factor that makes our leaders formulate a project of their own, belittling the first project left by the unseated leader.

In view of this events, history does repeat itself. Juan, as the ordinary citizen has nothing to do with it, but to wait his unnatural death.
