      Definitely not a debt trap. Japan is heavily invested in the Philippines in the manufacturing sector (leading in PEZA) which creates jobs for Filipinos that improve domestic spending and in infrastructure projects (top ODA contributor-3 admins) which further help in economic growth by solving traffic congestion. Japan is protecting its former investments with recent ones. Improving Phil Infra for economic growth is for the interest of Japanese companies already operating in the Philippines. Doing business in the Philippines with poor infra is not conducive. Corporate taxes earned by the government from existing and incoming Japanese companies, and earnings from usage of the railway infra project and from new jobs created contributing to consumption and income taxes will help service the debt. A permanent good infra will attract more foreign investors not just Japanese and create more jobs with more taxes collected or earnings by the gov't.

      @SecondAdversary 2 місяці тому +4

      The Japanese's "mindfulness of others" mindset has its own set of problems, like discouraging speaking out against abuse out of fear of "Standing out" or "causing problems" for others. As pleasant as Japan is, its society is unironically very repressive, as is most East Asian societies, lol. That isn't to say we shouldn't adapt some of the things that has benefited the Japanese, such as its preventative measures against corruption or whatnot, but expecting the Philippines' society to "be like Japan" is a hard ask, one that many would be very opposed to.

    This is so true. However, many Japanese bankers expressed dismay over money lent to the Philippines while there are many more qualified and better nations to lend to. The problem here is that the Philippines have a roller coaster economy. With the interest rate so low, it is prudent to award projects funded by the loans only to Japanese companies.

    Billions of USD, yet those parts of the country where the majority is marginalized get no help in development whatsoever because the focus is always on the Capital. if the other places in the country would be as developed, say Cebu from Visayas or Davao in Mindanao similar to the Capital, we wouldn't have an index of the most crowded density in a City like Manila, because people can find opportunities elsewhere and it would develop the economy in that part of the country.

    Firstly, the Fed base rate over the past 15 years has oscillated from 1-5%. If Japan is offering the Philippines $multibillion loans at 0.1%, then it is providing the Philippines with loan subsidies. Japan is losing money by lending to the Philippines. The IMF and World Bank lend at 2-3%, and commercial banks would lend to the Philippines at 5-7%. Chinese loans at 3% are not usurous but competitive with what is available by others.
    The question for the Philippines is what does Japan expect in return? At the very least it expects a geopolitical alliance in return for its money.

On top of its real estate problems and youth unemployment and foreign companies exiting China? Even local banks in China ran out of cash, depositors cannot withdraw their savings.

      if you are a filipino, study your history. japanese occupation of philippines in 1942-1945
      “ Throughout the Philippines more than a thousand Filipinos, composed of mothers, girls, and gay men, some as young as 10, were imprisoned, forcibly taken as "comfort women", and kept in sexual slavery for Japanese military personnel during the occupation.[25][26][27][28] Each of the Japanese military installations in the Philippines during the occupation had a location where the women were held, which they called a "comfort station".[29] One such place where these women were imprisoned was Bahay na Pula.[30] The Filipinos that were forced to sexual slavery by the Japanese were kidnapped from the population and were routinely gang-raped, tortured, and humiliated. Many of them had their breasts cut off or received damaging wounds whenever they fought back against the soldier's sexual advancements. Many were also murdered and disposed like animals.” wikipedia

    • @markdeguzman6556

      Definitely not a debt trap. Japan is heavily invested in the Philippines in the manufacturing sector (leading in PEZA) which creates jobs for Filipinos that improve domestic spending and in infrastructure projects (top ODA contributor-3 admins) which further help in economic growth by solving traffic congestion. Japan is protecting its former investments with recent ones. Improving Phil Infra for economic growth is for the interest of Japanese companies already operating in the Philippines. Doing business in the Philippines with poor infra is not conducive. Corporate taxes earned by the government from existing and incoming Japanese companies, and earnings from usage of the railway infra project and from new jobs created contributing to consumption and income taxes will help service the debt. A permanent good infra will attract more foreign investors not just Japanese and create more jobs with more taxes collected or earnings by the gov't.

    I think it's not debt trap. When you go to Japan, tipping is an insult. It means it is with in them that earning money should be done in a formal manner. They earn money, with out any stupid shortcuts. They work on it, it means they will earn from it. They are planning to build business here in Philippines, because they know Filipinos crave for new jobs and new infrastructures. Japan is one of they most behave and smart country here in Asia. It's not a debt trap, it's just a wise move for business men from Japan. Japan knows surely how to make business.
