People don't realize that cheap Chinese labour is discouraging the clothing and other industries in the Philippines. Labour there is much cheaper, so as a result, cheap Chinese clothing, dishes etc etc are sold here, while local factories have trouble making profits.
However, Philippinos are famous for their decorations, and we are part of the government's encouraging small hand made articles for export. This allows local school leavers to stay at home to work instead of migrating to Manila or Saudi Arabia, which of course helps families to stick together. The previous photos show a few of our handicrafts. Not sh0wn are the Christmas tree ornaments: They are already bagged up, and yesterday the truck (2 ton) took a truckload to Manila, so only a dozen bags are left in our garage/storage area.
