If we are supposedly must focus on our strengths, why are you suggesting we make a car from the ground up when we do not have any of the industrial foundations to build one?

We do not have a facility of design and build our own engines.

We do not have the facility to mass produce stamped steel sheet forms.

We do not have the facility to mass produce cast/extruded steel forms with the proper steel alloys. Example, suspension.

We do not have the facility to mass produce the small bits that finish a car. Example, door handles, formed headlights, and plastic bumpers.

Who is going to invest billions of pesos so we would have the facilities to make a proper Pinoy car? The potential return of investment is too uncertain, and even thinking positive, the ROI would be simply too long. It would be simpler and more profitable (using smaller investment funds) to simply import existing cars, like what the current local car companies (example: nissan, toyota, honda) are doing now.

If we are supposed to focus on our strengths, then we should just keep on exporting labor abroad. It is contributing a major part of the country's national gross income.
