Musings: Chi Chi Shops in PH

The extensive rise of Chinese/Taiwanese shops in PH is somewhat skyscraping. Think of bargain-basement finds! But what's startling is that a few of our local shops are firmly closing up,bec of the scarceness (or somewhat detachment) of local customers/consumers.With the decline of homegrown shops,stemmed the plummet of Filipino enterprise,therefore leaving a few Filipino entrepreneurs out of work and of course,penniliess.Sad,right?Now,do you think there's still an antidote to this business upheaval?Can we easily instruct everyone to buy only Filipino-made products?The answer of course is NO.Sigh.
