There is still possibility for that OPEN MARKET proposal despite of many hurdles mainly mentioned by our ghost..Local or International deligates will surely encouraged and illicit metals or stones mostly from africa may enter the market or they may use the market as a GET WAY to further enhanced their strong grips on international cyndicates..If many believes that Philippines is the center of fraudulent businesses well im sorry to say that we are nothing compare to some african countries and eastern europe..
But the issue of having OPEN MARKET is still the best proposal to do..It will create Hundred of thousands of jobs and that will alleviate us from looming poverty..But yet there are difficulties to overcome and they always have solutions. Open Market does not apply only on Metals or Precious Stones. It should include Textiles,Minerals,Raw Materials,Oil & Gas,Manpower,Applied Technologies and many more..There is a very dim chance for us to compete with China as they superceeded us in Cheap Product productions and their products are already widespread world wide..So the only chance for us is to think differently and OPEN MARKET maybe the easiest way..
One very good example is Jebel Ali in Dubai, well its a Freeport in Name but its a huge business world in sense.They are already depleted in Oil revenues but the taxations from this port alone is enough to sustain their economic lifeline despite that most businesses inside the Free zone are owned and run by foreign countries, It created almost millions of jobs participated from almost all people of the world....
