What a fall from grace. I remember Chrome being the browser that tried to protect the users from websites’s bad behaviour. Now the operating system needs protection from Chrome’s.

New video coming later today. This one took a lot of time to make and it’s only going to be useful for a handful of people. The fun of having niche interests, I guess. Hope it’s still going to be somewhat enjoyable to watch for a few more of you. 😅

The best time to drop Chrome was months ago. The second best time is now.

So grateful to have neighbours that feel this way.

Lots said already about the problems with this presentation, but please remember that when we're looking at terrorist attacks and plots by the white power movement, they go down when the attackers find sympathy, or jobs, in the halls of power.

Philippines Among The Weakest In ASEAN In Credit Card Penetration

When it comes to credit card penetration within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Philippines is still among the weakest as the number of adult Filipinos who own credit cards remains very low, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

Be reminded that the Philippines is experiencing weak economic growth, high inflation, and has been weak when it comes to attracting foreign direct investment.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Only three percent of adult Filipinos own credit cards, placing the country among the laggards in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with the gap most pronounced compared to advanced Asia-Pacific economies.

In Asian emerging markets (EMs), the Philippines trails only Cambodia’s one percent and Bangladesh’s two percent, Visa Business and Economic Insights noted in a report last Tuesday, July 14, citing the 2024 update of the World Bank’s Global Findex Survey.

Meanwhile, the country was outpaced by seven other Asian EMs, including India (five percent), Indonesia and Vietnam (both six percent), Sri Lanka and Thailand (both eight percent), Malaysia (13 percent), and China (46 percent).

This low penetration drives Filipinos to rely heavily on informal and unregulated lending alternatives, which do not help build formal credit histories.

“Across markets such as India, the Philippines, and Indonesia, borrowing from family, moneylenders, or gold-backed loans is widespread due to ease of access and familiarity,” read the report authored by Visa principal Asia-Pacific economist Simon Baptist and Asia-Pacific economist Minakshi Barman.

Meanwhile, advanced Asia-Pacific economies have mature financial systems, with credit card penetration rates reaching nearly three-fourths of adults aged 15 and above. Hong Kong had the highest penetration rate at 72 percent, followed by Japan at 70 percent, South Korea at 68 percent, Taiwan at 64 percent, New Zealand at 57 percent, Australia at 51 percent, and Singapore at 42 percent.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you know anyone in your local community who successfully secured credit cards over the past six months? Do you have friends who already applied for credit cards? What do you think Filipinos are most afraid of when it comes to using credit cards? Do you think the weakening economic growth of the Philippines will discourage Filipinos from applying for credit cards?

Même quand la représentation nationale a dit non plusieurs fois sur ces mesures, il y a toujours un texte qui tente d'imposer les mesures sanctionnées

De plus ses mesures sont

- jugées scientifiquement dangereuses pour la santé
- inconstitutionnelles, voir l'article 5 de la Charte de l'environnement (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charte_de_l'environnement), intégrée à la constitution de puis la loi constitutionnelle du le 28 février 2005
