DOST-Department Of Science and Technology of the Philippines. Technology brought out the Japanese out of the ashes of World War2 and became the leading electronics manufacturer, first in Southest Asia then the world. Now it is Korea's turn to follow the footstep of their rival Japanese, while China is lurking in the shadow. While we are still climbing coconut tree and making tuba for the drinking session this night. Why can't we be like them even half of what they know would be fine. I was also hoping that DOST should be attach to the Philippines military in building weapons for our own defense and offense capability. With the present nano technology we can harness it's potential by making not only body armor steel platted or titanium built for police officers during heavy firefight but could also monitor their pulse/heart and vital sign. I also thought about a shoes that can monitor a person's vital sign from heart/pulse/blood rate all because of a microchip that is embedded in the sole of the shoes and the monitoring screen is place in the wrist just like a watch and small like an MP3. All he/she have to do is turn on to check his/her condition every now and then while at work or at play. I suppose my idea is not appropriate in Philippines condition. Sabi nga mababaw magisip ang Filipino just look at some of the questionnaire here, at mababaw din ang kaligayahan. I know...I know this idea wouldn't work in the Philippines. Thank you for telling me. But still believe that technology is the answer to bring forth our country to another dimension. So what do you think this time?
Answer
The first step is population control. I just watched a segment in the local channel that a mother is doing 5 jobs to support her ten kids. Economics states that there is scarcity of resources, if people keep on multiplying, soon the resources will be depleted. This is the main reason filipinos go overseas, to find better opportunities.
The second step is to down-size the government. We have too many people in the goverment. The rest should be relocated to private companies. There is also too much red tape and lack of trust in the government. If we can almost privatize the governemnt system, wherein the employees have sufficient earnings, I don't think they will still be corrupt. Well, there are minor exceptions, but they should be punished immediately.
The third step is to bring back capital punishment. The government is wasting money prolonging the cases of inmates. We are paying for the regional trial courts, the court of appeals and supreme court. Why in China, after stabbing 28 children, he gets executed the next month. In Singapore, the 23 year old drug dealer caught was hung after only several months. Justice should be swift and fair.
The last step is good coordination. As of now, each department is seeking their own welfare. Just check the roads. After DPWH has repaired a road, here comes MWSS or PLDT destroying the new asphalt and doing what benefits them. That's just unnecessary expenses they will try to recover through their consumers.
So if let's say the Government has already garnered savings from what I've stated above, where shall they invest it? I'd say agriculture and public transport system. We can be the main supplier for asia for rice and sugar. Plus this will also give the farmers better earnings.
For example, Singapore doesn't have rice fields, but they demand rice. That's go with other neighboring countries. The public transport system will do wonders to our financial economy. By car, it takes 1 hour to go from Makati to Ortigas for my meeting at 10 AM. Think about the wasted time here. Think about workers from Makati commuting to Laguna. It takes 2 hours to get home and spend family time.
As for your theory, there was a time that Filipino Inventors gained support from the government. But to do this will be risky also for the government. They have to shoulder losses. It's better to invest in education to produce nuclear scientists and such.
I remember my mother told me that a Filipina sat with her on a plane for a business trip. It turned out the woman was seeking research funding from a foreign country. She has the initial developments of turning soiled water into almost potable water. She went to the government but was not able to get any support. Just think how it can benefit Ilog Pasig if ever it had materialized. Don't think about war or weapons, and how we can eradicate threats.
Think long-term what are the other benefits research can make, like miracle-rice or electric cars, or we can invest in infrastructure. All of our major roads and public transport were done by foreign companies and contractors. We should be innovative and find solutions and how to make this world better and more efficient.

Made where?
Q. Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffee pot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in.....AMERICA.....
Yea I know, it wasn't funny...but it's pretty much true.

LOL sooo true..one time in my AP Euro History class, our teacher told us to check our shirt tags and see if ANY of the shirts were made in America...and only ONE in a class of 32 was made in america, and the kid had paid $200 for it.
