- The foreign business interest is deeply entrenched in the country's national policymaking due largely to the very accommodating attitude of the Philippine government. It's a long history of subservience.
- The proposed lifting of the citizenship restriction in the economic provision of the 1987 Philippine Charter is seen by the foreign business interest as the single most important economic reform in its bid to bolster its foothold in the Philippine economy. Cha-cha is packaged as a panacea of sorts.
- Corporate-led globalization is responsible to the widening economic-divide between the Global North and the Global South. Take as a case in point the glaring divide in the access to quality water supply between the Global North and Global South as well as between the rich and the poor communities within the two hemispheres.
- The continued victimization of the countries in transition (transition economies) by the international financial institutions under the control of the Global North is principally due to former's political and economic vulnerability and the latter's lack of regard to morality and social justice.
