first, of course we are not in favor of globalization. or at least not yet. we believe that the current world market is not fair. it favors the bigger economies over those of the small countries. and for us to compete, we need some more time to develop our industries to compete in the world market. ang problem kasi when we enter into such agreement, di na pwede tumulong ang gobyerno sa mga export related industries when it comes to tariffs. kase bawal na yun once makasali tayo.

plus, under such agreement, capital can always go anywhere in the world. ibig sabihin yung gumagawa ng say, t-shirt, sa halip na sa bansa nila gawin, pwede syang magtayo ng planta sa India dahil doon mas malaki kikitain nya dahil mura lang ang sweldo doon. so kung yung capitalists pwede gawin yun, dapat din yung worker pwede pumunta sa ibang lugar kung saan malaki ang sweldo. that’s just fair di ba. but then, marami pa ring masalimuot na isyu dito.

second, agenda din namin na ipakita sa mundo yung displeasure namin sa pamamahala ni Gordon.
