The Food Issue
•
by Sitenl
Philippines is a new country, a country with many opportunity.
Some wants its gold, this is true. Some wants its friendship, this is also true. But Philippines is not only a economic or diplomatic "tool". It is a new home: to Filipinos and foreigners alike.
But life in this new country can be harsh. In fact, by my studies, it IS definitely harsh.
The average pay is 2.98 PHP, way below my calculated average food price: 4.61 PHP.
One must account in this figures the fallowing facts: most unskilled workers have a wage of 2 PHP, but the most skilled posts (7 skill) have a wage of 11. So, even if you are the most skilled citizen of this country, it will be impossible to buy Q4 food (which is the best food we got here, 12 PHP) everyday with your wage.
The Congress and Businessmen must watch this with care: workers with low wellness are a threat to the country's economy.

It is reasons like this that the Proletariat Economic Plan should be implemented. As stated before, a very simliar version of the PEP was able to provide skill workers in Korea with a Q3 food and Q2 gift off of minimum wage, everday.
Note If you are not familiar with the PEP, please refer to the following article. Also, keep in mind that we could simply implement the PEP into select industries, such as food.
Proletariat Exchange Program (Skip down to "My plan consists of the following"): http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/proletariat-economic-plan-737344/1/20
We must use the money in our treasury to stimulate our economy, because the businesses run by the government will not try to make a profit. They will merely break even. This will allow them to make wages higher and prices lower than any businessman could hope to. This will make higher quality food more accessible, and that will increase our productivity.
I dont know if i can keep living on philippines like that.
Im having difficulty in buying quality food. Though I have a job, I can't work because the company has no resources. If I can't work, I will not be payed! If ever the Peacemakers Company could do something.
food cost is too expensive... is there any way that the government can control the food prices?... i hope food distributors would be considerate to the citizens, especially to those people with low paying jobs... let us think not of ourselves alone but all for the benefit of the whole country...
Keep in mind that all foods over Q1 are imported at the moment.
Q2 food = Q1 job + training
