woof, woof!

may mga pinoy na ganyan kasi ang pinagtrabahoan nila ay kapwa pilipino din na nagmamarunong. they have not worked in the mainstream america na bawal ang maging rude. kailangan may etiquette ka lalo na pag may kasaling customer service ang trabaho mo. kaya sometimes i dont patronize filipino stores na ang mga tindera ay taray2x nila na para parin silang nasa pinas.

example:
nakalinya ka and then yung mga suki nilang pinoy that came in last nag cut in sa linya kasi kilalala nila. toinks.

pumasok ka sa store hindi man lang ka i greet kong how are you how may i help you. bigyan ka lang ng look na para kang magnanakaw kung bibili kaba o hindi.

this is my pinakaasar when paying your bills hihingan kapa nang barya kasi ayaw nilang mag count sa change. just total laziness. kung may training ka sa cash register. sasabihin mo you gave ten dollars and 95 cents is your change. pero sa pinoy, bigyan mo nang 10 dollars, sabihin pa sayo may 5 cents ka ba dyan? hello, i came here to buy some thing and not being asked if i have some change in my pocket which i dont carry anymore. sa pinoy store mo lang makita na practice na yan.

An inspiring success story..

Ex-janitor lives it up in lively amusement sector

SAN ISIDRO, Nueva Ecija—To support himself through college, Ramon Santos worked as a janitor in a Metro Manila-based firm engaged in the importation and supply of amusement rides.

But Santos, through perseverance and his salary as a janitor, eventually finished college.

Armed with a business degree, he received a promotion in the company he worked for during his college years, becoming purchase manager and later manager for the importation of finished products.

“It was providential that I worked in that company. It opened my eyes and mind to the big business potentials in the manufacturing of facilities and equipment in this bustling amusement industry,” Santos said of the firm he served for 13 years.

Later, the suppliers of imported amusement rides convinced Santos to join them in putting up a trading company. He and his partners imported amusement rides to supply the local market.

But in 1997, the Asian financial crisis struck. He and his partners were hit hard when the demand for amusement rides tapered off.

Turning crisis into opportunity, he ventured into the manufacture of amusement rides. For Santos, it was a daring move as China and other European countries were offering the same products at lower costs.

Santos started the Westech International Philippines Inc. in the family compound in Barangay Sto. Cristo.

With a 10-man workforce that included an engineer, welders, electricians and a machinist, he began churning out small equipment for amusement rides.

Westech first produced coin-operated machines, bump cars and small rides like helicopters, fantasy cars, submarines, heavy equipment, animal prototypes and boats, among others.

“Of course, it was difficult to start such an undertaking. The market was wary about the quality and safety of the products we produced,” Santos explains.

He solved the problem through extensive training of his employees and by asking help from experienced technicians. In time, Santos gained the trust and confidence of his clients.

From single-seat rides, Santos started manufacturing medium-sized amusement equipment like trains, carousels, roller coasters, ferris wheels, balloon wheels and water rides.

“It helped that shopping mall giant SM noticed my products. It contracted me to provide safe and quality amusement rides [for their malls],” Santos said.

Soon, other establishments like World of Fun, Tom’s World, StarCity, Quantum, G-Box Amusement, Robinsons and Festival Mall, became his clients.

He also started exporting his products to Morocco, Indonesia, China, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria and Australia.

Prices of his amusement rides and equipment range from less than P1 million to as high as P40 million.

Yan ang nakakainis sa mga Filipino business dito sa US, Filipino cutomer service din ang makukuha mo.

UNILAB



From a small corner drugstore, United Laboratories, Inc. (UNILAB) has grown to become the country’s leading pharmaceutical company with over 20 percent market share in an industry dominated by the world's biggest pharmaceutical multinationals.

Unilab develops, manufactures, and markets over 300 prescription and consumer health
brands covering the major therapeutic categories from common illnesses, like cough, colds, pain, allergy, and fever, to diseases like hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, asthma, infections, tuberculosis, ulcer, anemia, and cancer.

Many of Unilab’s products are now leading brands in the Philippines , with a few recognized leaders even in Southeast Asia . Unilab’s products are made available under the umbrella of Unilab’s twin advocacy programs – Pharmacoeconomics and Pharmacovigilance – which ensure the efficacy, safety, and affordability of Unilab’s healthcare products.

Aside from the Philippines , Unilab operates in ten other countries in Southeast Asia : Cambodia , China , Hong Kong , Indonesia , Laos , Malaysia , Myanmar , Singapore , Sri Lanka , Thailand , and Veitnam. The major Unilab manufacturing complex in Metro Manila has been cited by international health organizations as one of the finest in Asia . A new and state-of-the-art manufacturing complex has been inaugurated, which will exceed the current facility in both scale and technical capability -- a clear evidence of Unilab's sustained commitment to product quality, operational excellence, and continuing improvement.

with the economic conditions, siguro matatagalan pa. Ayalas are seguristas eh. Hindi nga sila nag-invest nuong booming pa ang ekonomiya dito, ngayon pa na bagsak?

DTI should really actively partner with design councils in the Philippines. Branding lang yan eh.

[doctor joe]

name all OEMs.... lots of it

especially since filipino restaurants are very rare, if you have one of the few good restaurants staffed with crappy people like that, you're putting a bad image for filipinos ...

wait, are you talking about the Ihawan at Woodside or the Maharlika in Manhattan?

Bakit ganyan?? Filipino made pero Japanese ang pangalan?...Pilipino ba talaga may ari nyan as in dito talaga nagsimula? homegrown?

[jpdm]

Ironic ano? Its quite sad that for Pinoys to sell goods we have to use Japanese sounding names to be acceptable in the market. Colonial mentality pa rin at its best.

Ayaw gumaya sa Condura, very successful yet using its own local brand name.

Namatay na kasi Standard Appliances or nag-hibernate, the most popular local (aside from 3D) brand of appliances in the country.

Agree. But dont know about their conventional TV.

Even Promac, used to manufacture its own products. Its cheaper to import than to produce products here.

This is a one huge local company.

Its main local competitor is Pascual laboratories.

I hope our local pharmaceutical companies will invest heavily in R&D at hindi laging nakaabang sa expiration ng patent ng mga gamot ng mga sikat na pharmaceutical companies - para naman ma-utilize ang talent ng mga scientists natin dito sa sariling bansa at makapag-contribute sila sa paghahanap ng cure sa mga sakit na wala pang cure

[MatudNilaBaby]

itanong mo sa mga chemists and pharmacists natin if kaya nilang mag research nang bagong medicines kung hindi sa komocopya nalang sa formulary to make those common otc drugs. wala tayong r&d for this kind of venture. kailangan you have hospitals and doctors and universities na kasali dito. and that is a very costly proposition.
