Government should mandate, not simply encourage, that transport operators must buy only from local manufacturers. Direct importation of mini-buses and fake jeepneys from abroad is exporting jobs that are supposed to be for Filipino workers.

How can local manufacturers achieve economies of scale if the government will allow direct importation of mini-buses and fake jeepneys from abroad? Clearly, they have no vision and no business sense. They haven't even thought of the economic revolution that this opportunity could spark if they simply mandate it which is within their powers. We could have a vibrant green steel industry, green power, and millions of new green jols for our fellow-Filipinos.

STOP THE DIRECT IMPORTATION! If foreign manufacturers want to participate, mandate them to locate their manufacturing facilities in the Philippines and provide jobs for Filipinos and allow technology transfer.

Be pro-Filipino! 🇵🇭
