Boeing 747 making a huge comeback

Nation building via learning and being the best in business

Many slip ups and accidents with the 737 and lately the 787 have made Airbus the plane maker of choice of the world.  However the 747 is making a huge comeback for the freight and cargo side of air transport

Airliners have abandoned the 4 engine jumbo jets in favor of the two engine configuration that can carry less passenger but same range.  A two engine plane consumes 700 to 1000+ gallons per hour saving many airlines millions of dollars in fuel charges.   

Two engine has lesser effect on carbon emissions, on noise pollution And is favored in passenger air transport.  But its another story for cargo side of business.   More payload, more flexibility in cargo configuration which can translate to lower cost.   Most of the cargo carried are pharmaceuticals and electronics

More opportunities projects in the North

Really you should not have a sense of comfort nor stay in your comfort zone.  My mother, the matriarch of business then said that your business should be compact and can be reached within 10 minutes of your waking up.  Had this post complied with this, we would have been out of business decades back.

So in the trip last Thursday these were the business opportunities:

1.  Presenting  LOI for receipt to the owner of the land for a 4.6 project.   We have to show the JPA and CTS

2.  A 4 hectare developed  project owned by a Lendng investor, located in a lst class municipality located next to the queen city of the Province

3.  A 10 hectare property located the bridge of the queen city

4.  A 4.4 hectare project in the Western part of the province.  Just needing to close the paper works  for the right of way.  JPA has been signed.

5.  5 hectare expansion of a 7  hectare mem project near the existing one we have built

5  Funding opportunities:

    1  From a priest who loves projects and business  P5M

    2.  From a govt employee who is looking for investment   P5M

This post hopes to seize, close 80% of these so that 1.  jobs may be created;    2.  towns appearance will improve,   3.  generate more taxes.   4   generate more jobs and employment

Philippines now one of the top BPO hotspots; US politicians move can blunt its progress

PHL is now considered one to the giants in the BPO industry.  It brings in about $30 billion a year to the Philippine economy, one of the legs of PHL industry, the other is OFW remittances and the remaining 1/3 are from agri and electronics subcontracting.  

That is about 30% of the PHL gdp.  It fuels a lot of industry:   housing, food and retail, transportation, retails etc.    It is fraught with danger because US wants to bring back job to USA and this includes the call center.     

What would happen to the Phil economy if the BPO were to shrink.   You can see the effect of POGO closure on office and housing rental market.
