There lies the problem...
USA actively promotes American-made vehicles. Germany actively promotes German-made vehicles. Italy actively promotes Italian-made vehicles. Japan actively promotes Japanese-made vehicles. China actively promotes Chinese-made vehicles. Vietnam actively promotes Vietnamese-made vehicles.
All other countries in the world promote their own and they even make it hard for foreign brands to compete with their own.
Meanwhile, the Philippine government officials goes out of their way and even struggle for words just not to mention Philippine-made vehicles publicly in the media. I pity our nationalistic government officials who cannot even mention the two words Francisco Motors when it is already obvious and even when it's so clear that they desperately want to mention it because there is no other company who can come close to our quality and even the price.
WHY? Is there a law that prohibits them from endorsing particular brands? If so, that law must be removed so that our government officials may freely endorse Philippine-made vehicles without being sued by foreign manufacturers.
WHERE IS THE SUPPORT FROM OUR GOVERNMENT?
Mabuti pa si Speaker Martin Romualdez na binabanatan nyo sa kaliwa't kanan kasama ng iilang mga mambabatas nating klarong sumusuporta sa mga local manufacturers, sa mga manggagawang Pilipino, sa malillit na jeepney operators at sa mga tsuper.
We need government officials who can publicly stand behind our local manufacturers and Filipino workers.
Mga ka-Jeepney, malapit na po ang mid-term elections at magfifile na po sila ng Certificate of Candidacy sa Oktubre.
Gumawa nalang po kaya tayo ng listahan ng mga opisyal ng gobyerno na klarong may malasakit at sumusuporta sa atin para sila rin ang suportahan natin sa darating ng halalan? Ano sa tingin nyo mga kasama? Kung tayong lahat po ay magkaka-isa, mas malakas po tayo sa kanila at tandaan nyo na tayo po ang nagpapasweldo sa kanila mula sa mga buwis na ating binabayaran.
Gawan po natin ng April 30, 2024 deadline ang paggawa ng listahang ito. Ayos ba?
