Philippines overall tariff's reduced to 6.3 on exports to USA???

Enzyte Bob

I saw Youtube videos that claim Marcos has made a deal with Trump administration that will reduces the overall tariffs to 6.3% on Philippine exports.


They further claim some countries within the SEA  with higher tariffs will move their manufacturing to the Philippines to exploit the new lower tariffs.

I also saw the video. I just want the Peso to level out at 60 or so. This roller coaster is driving me crazy.

Drives most crazy talamban. For an Aussie we see it low and high, 34 to 40 pesos to the buck over the last 15 years that I have seen, we simply wait for the highs and exchange 1.5 to 2M pesos, draw it out and stick in the safe,,,,, yes always the questions from the bank, deal with them we do.


To me matters little where one lives as the 2 super powers control the world economy and a pleb like me is powerless at that level.

Yep, let the things you can't change go and focus on the things you can.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change

The courage to change the things I can

And the wisdom to know the difference.

No link to any of the videos?

I saw videos claiming bigfoot is actually an alien who crashed here millions of years ago and evolved.  They also claim he is so shy because there were no humans to talk to back then.

****

(1) I made no Claim about the validity of video as you suggest.

(2) Talamban in post #2 said he also saw the video.

(3) Since original my post is almost a month old, why take umbrage now?

(4) Stick to your meat pies.

bigpearl

Bob? Posting unsubstantiated rhetoric is typical while meat pies are delicious and a fact  that all that try and  have ventured that path have found.

The validity of your claims is hypothetical and not backed up with a source so all here can read/see.


We live here Bob and nothing in the local news or reporting to substantiate your OP.

(1) It doesn't have to be substantiated by me or anyone else.

(2) I was just passing it on because it caught my attention.

(3) After your umbrage regarding my response posted on August 5th, bygone reported news.

(4) Typical bigpearl looking for a food fight.

(5) I'll stick to my Moon Pies or Mud Pies.

(6) Do you want me to substantiate that?

I just paid 27% on an IMPORT from USA. Computer graphics card. $780 on Amazon, $988 delivered. And it was still $120 usd less than buying from a vendor in the Philippines.

bigpearl

Food fight Bob they can be fun with the right people.


Point is that I'm sure Like Phil Lloyd's post that plenty of people see all sorts of tripe online and spread the crap without substantiating the claims and expect people to believe it.


All my searches never revealed such a clam of 6.3% tariffs and all available online shows that Marcos jr and Trump led to dropping the tariff from 20 to 19%,,,,,, big deal. saw it also on the news and was claimed to be a great win for Filipinos...... Go figure.


OMO.
