Social and political criticisms
Rich and powerful countries continue to flex their muscles and cow PHL to submit to their whims: China with regards to Spratly's, Malaysia with regards to Sabah, and Taiwan with regards to allegedly killing of Taiwanese fisherman who intruded into PHL territory.
PHL does not have balls? But we are great in basketball, arent we?
Let us analyze the trade retaliatory acts of Taiwan: Taiwan about $4 billion worth to PHL, PHL imports $2 billion from Taiwan. Taiwan tourists only rank no 5 among arrivals. So maybe PHL economy and businessman may be resilient and flexible enough to make up for the losses.
We are not losers, nor cry babies, are we?
