Comment from a reader on "More On Investor Responsibility":
I agree with that mate.
What class of citizen are Filipinos in their own country when you have the A,B,C,D.... categories of society and wealth? most probably 3rd or 4th class.
There are incidents involving Filipinos every day e.g.
http://www.topix.com/ph/manila/2009/07/filipino-nurse-accused-of-fraud-in-us-flees
plus the job losses for locals during these hard economic times, as well as, accidental deaths reported by Filipino nurses.
my point is not to point fingers, but to say that outcries occur everywhere if you know where to look and keep your ear to the ground.
The problem lies with the (faulty or corrupt) system that allows people of whatever nationality to abuse the system. Foreigners here provide jobs, whereas Filipinos abroad take the jobs. enough said on this matter (I hope)
I have a number of Korean friends (I'm British) and I know they get harassment from the cops and a fairly bad rap because of a few bad eggs as do most nationalities that have to pay the price for the misbehavior of those that don't respect the system.
Does SBMA have a team of health and safety inspectors or is there any ISO certification. This will never stop in any sector unless the authorities get with the program and focus on the community rather than their bank accounts.
As long as Hanjin and these Korean only establishments pay can they do whatever they want? who allows this?
[The Subic Bulletin] As we said in previous posts, corporate and social responsibility involves an obligation to act with ethics even if the government doesn't force you to do so... it's a bit like saying that its ok to sleep with your brothers wife, if your brother doesn't find out.
While the example link you provide is about an individual Filipina committing fraud, we think that corporations know better than this and should lead by example.
ISO certification would be nice for SBMA but that seems a long way off while they can't even erect a street sign to meets published standards!
