I think I read some companies are developing some new electric vehicles, for transportation in the Philippines.
That's probably fine unless the government gets involved.
What usually happens is that some politicians get bought-off by the company (or maybe even have stock in the company) and then they pass all kinds of laws FORCING this new company onto the public, so everyone has no choice but to use the new company and the new product (electric vehicles).
This is pretty much how things work everywhere.
It's corrupt, but that's just the world we live in.
