Slippery slope, people who work in advertising. I think of those shampoo commercials and billboards where they literally use computer graphics to alter the length, shine, movement of the hair.

False advertising din yun di ba?

Anyway, it isn't Manny Villar's job to rescue distressed workers. His job is to make laws to make sure migrants don't find themselves in those kinds of situations to begin with.

Civil society defined - everyone and everything that isn't the State.

That's more than the personalities our newspapers like to pick up on.

Then you can differentiate between those who have the capacity and leisure to indulge in civic duties and those too busy surviving day to day.

I wouldn't fault those who belong to the latter group for not having anything constructive to do or say.

Now those who belong to the first group but have nothing at all useful to do or say, what a shame.

Kaya nga eh. Why blame those who take to the streets? When decisions are made outside the purview of this supposed democracy?

Ok, the idea is to make agriculture create surplus to support a nascent industrial sector.

Then as farming becomes more efficient, it will gradually shrink in size (as proportion of GDP and as an employment source) and more people will be employed by the industrial and services sector.

Our bizarre development pattern has created a large services sector and shrinking industrial (manufacturing) and agriculture sectors.

For a country our size with our population - I don't know how we can manage a development path tread by everyone else.

The alternative is the more radical GARB :-) Otherwise, let's just destroy the agriculture sector and grow BPOs!
