I was touched by the letter of Mr. Manuel F. Almario, dated July 15, 2009 regarding
industrialization as key to development.
Having been in the electronic components industry for twenty three years and teaching
Production and Operations Management in an International Academy in Makati City for
fifteen years, I was able to expose and obtain actual experiences in the so called
Philippine industrialization.
Industrialization in the Philippines will only succeed if our current and future policy
makers will seriously and religiously adhere to the tenets of 1987 Article XII of
Philippine Constitution-National Economy and Patrimony. Yes I believe to Mr. Manuel F.
Almario’s idea of leaving agriculture economy but not totally. My idea is to use
agriculture as a first stage and upgrade and strengthen our existing policies to grow and
speed up to second stage agro-based industries and further to third stage to service
industries. It’s about time to exploit and use our own bountiful natural and marine
resources. We can industrialize our agriculture and mineral produce. We can manufacture
dairy products out of our carabaos and goat milk. We can maximize fish production from
our sea waters and package them to acceptable cost canned goods. We can develop
technologies to extend life of fruits and vegetables to weeks if not months. We have
Filipinos that can mined our mineral resources and convert these to acceptable
application. We have and can be the best tourism haven in this part of the world. We have
best mind Filipino inventors and scientist that will answer our research both basic and
applied. We have the best human resources that we can utilized to operate these Filipino
industries.
