Some believe that buying Filipino products is a good way of showing our love for the country. But if you visit the malls or the supermarket most people would prefer to buy imported products, western products or Chinese products its because Chinese products are usually cheaper and people tend to believe that western products assures quality. Whatever people choose, its their decision because it's their money.
What about the people who want to support Filipino products what should they choose, Imported brands that are made in the Philippines or local brands that are made in China? What are Filipino products? Does it exist?
This issue confuses me as well so I came to a conclusion, buy any product you like whether imported brand or not as long as you buy it in the country its subject to 12% vat so either way you helped the country.

You are right, the love for country cannot be measured by what you buy or what you choose its more than that.
hi, this is abul from indonesia! I read your blog and thought it was very insightful! Your country is a better place because of you! more power bro! ahu ahu ahoo!
this is funny. haha! but good nonetheless! i agree, filipino products shouldn't be the measure of our love for the country. Heck, i love the Philippine but that doesn't mean i have to love the ugly sandals at Marikina right? haha!
talaga poh!? huwaw ngayon koh lang pow ito nalaman! sabi mo sa eskwela namin dapat pong tangkilikin ang sarili nating produkto upang tayo'y umunlad. huuwaw. makwento nga to sa titser namin! hehehehehe
I AGREE DUDE!! that's what I've been telling my friends ever since i learned about the vat system! glad to know somebody feels the same way!
OLRAAAAYT BRO!!!! mei point ka poh! hahahahaha mas babagsak ang ating ekonomiya kung pipilitin nating bumili ng bumili ng mga produkto ng pilipinas na madaling masira sa isang gamitan lang! mapupuno pa ang payatas! olraaaaaaaaayyyttt steeeg!
i salute you! haha
its not actually showing love its more of showing support..And its like saying to the producers of local products that they trust the quality of our local products
there was a paper about how the countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hongkong, Singapore emerged as developed countries. one reason might be their being patriots of their own locally-made products.is it possibly the reason why the Philippines lagged way behind our neighboring countries because we do not know how to patronize our own? we often heard ourselves telling that we love our country? but how can we show love if we even do not pride ourselves with what we locally produced? it's a sad fact but why can't we learn? maybe it's time to change our views & start loving our own products. let us all support "BUY PINOY" & it will make a lot of difference...
