comment from herman laurel rt @UBS Asian Economic Comment - Philippines: Exports and policy settings

It's like two babies, one is 86 lbs. like the Phlippines with 86-M population, the other Singapore baby at 5 lbs. same as it population (more of less), the latter used to get 10 gallons of milk and the former 1 gallon, now they both lose 30% of their milk - who loses more? Has Asean ever been helpful to the Philippines? In our Sabah claim? In getting the just economic production allocation? htl
