Like The Domestic marine ® said before, the Philippines is a dumping ground. The worthless, dangerous so-called products that can’t be pushed on any other nation are dumped in the Philippines and customs makes it all happen, after the BIR gets their $30,000.00. Customs then gate-keeps their own policies to FEE-up their house and car payments NOT to mention ring their dinner bell. There is NOTHING of any true value sold by Shoppe, Lazada, Temu, TikTok and such. The countries and companies selling products on these websites don’t want them in their landfills so they dump them on the Philippines. Unsuspecting inexperienced Filipinos who think they’re getting a deal don’t realize that these products are meant for the landfill but these countries and companies don’t want to pay to dispose of them, but if they could get these worthless products here to the Philippines for free like hitching a ride on one of Canada’s garbage scows, they would because Asians don’t give a shit about the environment, at least NOT since the Vietnam War? YOU paying the shipping and PLUS them making a profit a top while dumping their liabilities and garbage products on unsuspecting and inexperienced people was McDonald's idea with the hamburger and hot dog. Don’t be too quick to blame China, however, because these are American companies operating and manufacturing in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Remember, that’s what the World Wars were about and BIG “SUGAR’S” defeat of anti trust legislation in Pennsylvania at the turn of the 20th century while manufacturing moved to China for paid slave labor.
