Kung nagbasa mo ani karon nga thread, usa na mo sa daghan Pilipino parehas nako nga nagpuyo gihapon sa kalisod. Kung ganahan mo masayod nganong nagka leche2 ni atong gobyerno karon bisan ug hapit na 30 ka tuig kapin na ang milabay sukad ang People Power. Padayon mo ug basa. Pero sagulan sad nako sa akong opinyon kini nga issue.
Nganong 6th na man ta? Tungod kay wala mibanaw ang dugo sa panahon sa EDSA People Power. Kung adunay mga nakalas nga kinabuhi sigurado ko wala pay 30 ka tuig milambo na ning atong nasod. Lisod ang aftermath kung adunay bloodshed pero dili ingon niana kadugay ang pagbalik ug barog sa atong ekonomiya post-Marcos.
Nagpabilin kitang pobre kay ang mga crony wala man nangamatay. Nigamot sila ug pag ayo sa mga dagkong pwesto sa gobyerno ug mga dagkong kumpanya. Ilang giusab ang constitution para sa ilang kaugalingong interes. Ug kintahay nangamatay sila, puros mga young blood ang nagdominate unta karon sa gobyerno. Ug kung bata pa, mga radical, gusto ug pagbag.o ug dinalian kini.
Karon kay naa pa sila diha, ang kwarta magtuyok ra na sa ila. Kita sinsilyo ra atong madawat. Mao na nga dapat atong bukhon atong mga mata. Let's push for charter change. Allow foreign investors to obtain 100% ownership for businesses here in the Philippines. Luoy kaayo kitang mga uyamot, maningkamot lang maka abroad ug biyaan pa ang pamilya kay dili kuno kasuporta ang atong ekonomiya sa ato. Dako kining bakak. Ug kahibaw ba mo unsa gipasweldo sa mga senator aron matak.om na ilang baba gikan sa mga lobbyists? Mao nang Malampaya, Fertilizer fund scam, pork barrel etc. Ug kita? Sige lang ta ug tan.aw sa TV nga murag nagsubay ug teleserye sa kaso nilang jinggoy, revilla, nga kung bright pa lang mo sa tinuod lang wa nay kahumanan. Maayo pa mutan.aw na lang mo ug sine kay masulit pa inyong kwarta nalingaw pa mo. Your vote will not count and will never be. You need to wake up.
"The Economist ranked the country in its list for having huge crony-sector wealth, created by rent-seeking practices of the wealthy.
"In technical terms, an economic rent is the difference between what people are paid and what they would have to be paid for their labour, capital, land (or any other inputs into production) to remain in their current use," The Economist's print edition explained.
It also simplified the behavior of rent-seekers as "grabbing a bigger slice of the pie rather than making the pie bigger."
The results revealed that the Philippines rose to sixth from ninth in the world since 2007 for a rising share of crony sectors in its Gross Domestic Product, currently at about 13 percent.
The Philippines recorded an economy heavily fueled by rent-heavy industries and wealth of dollar billionaires invested in such rent-seeking sectors, including the following:
Casinos
Deposit-taking banking and investment banking
Infrastructure and pipelines
Real estate and construction
Oil, gas, chemicals and other energy
Steel, other metals, mining and commodities
Utilities and telecoms services
"The higher the ratio [of billionaire wealth to GDP], the more likely the economy suffers from a severe case of crony-capitalism," the report noted.
The industries are also said to be vulnerable to monopoly or requiring state licensing, which makes them a likely venue for graft and bribery, it added.

To improve the country's ranking, The Economist suggests that government tightens antitrust rules, improve regulation and boost competition among rent-heavy industries.
