On the 68th Profection Year
On the first half of the year, or specifically, up to July 2015, we are still under the influence of Venus. Just as in 2014, this factor highlights economic matters like investments and debt. In October 2014, a $300M loan from the World Bank was signed and more loans were being negotiated before the year ended.
Venus is also the ruler of the 9th house of trade with other countries. What this factor may be highlighting is the potential benefit that the country will get from the ASEAN free trade agreement.
There are studies that say that the Philippines is the country that will least benefit from the economic integration of ASEAN countries. It's a good thing that President Aquino bought time for us and reserved this decision to the next president. The potential is there, but there also dangers because the economies of our neighbors are bigger. They have more capital and most of them are export-oriented. We should not end up as the dumping ground of products manufactured by our neighbors.
We also need to find our niche in the manufacturing sector. In 2010, I wrote that we might have a chance in nascent technologies, such as nanotechnology and new electronic gadgets. Uranus, the planet of technology, is at the top of the July 4 chart. One good news in this direction is the increased production e-vehicles in the country, which can potentially be a big export product of the Philippines. Perhaps, on the individual level, especially among the self-employed, Filipinos can etch their niche in this bigger market.
