“Ang pinakamalaking problema ng Pilipinas ay commodification that, we’re under a colonial mentality, kaya number 42 lang tayo sa industry, eh papano nga, our colonial mentality is so attuned to the US, kung ano yung sikat sa US, yun ang pino-promote natin,” Professor Felipe De Leon Jr., member of the national committee on music of the National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA), explained one of the reasons why the Philippine music industry ranked only 42nd, lower than Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia in the International Federation of Phonographic Industry (IFPI).

Felipe added, “Masyadong American-made ang klase ng music natin, yung OPM natin is too Americanized, there’s not enough variety, there’s no creativity, there’s no originality, unlike Indonesia, Brazil, and Sweden, kaya ang dami-dami nilang klaseng music that they can promote, that’s why they sell, even Korea.”

“We really need to move away from inefficient energy systems, inefficient technologies.”

This is according to Dr. Lawrence Dacuycuy, chair of the National Research Council of the Philippines (NRCP), Division of Social Sciences of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and one of the resource speakers in the Expert Class webinar in “Gas Prices Rising Amidst Ukraine-Russia Crisis,” conducted by the DOST-NRCP.

Dacuycuy explained that it will not be easy to sustain growth due to several constraints that people need to be mindful of, and one of them is the capacity of the energy sector to supply the energy that people would want so that the economy will grow.
