Economy crisis in the Philippines affect the lifestyle of so many Filipinos especially to those who were needy. But, despite of all these problems, we, Filipinos, tend to buy high tech gadgets even the poor ones tend to do so.

When we speak of a high technology gadgets, one thing comes to our mind; it’s EXPENSIVE. But, that’s no problem, my friend, there’s always a second hand celphone, mp3’s, pc’s, laptops, etc, etc. We can bought those items at a very reasonable cost, but, the thing is these replicated and cloned gadgets from china that looks like the latest gadgets made by the big companies that sells original made gadget.

It’s made in china, it’s cheap, and it looks like the latest and hottest thing in town. But, what we don’t know is that, those gadgets were cloned and replicated and does not contain the same materials, software and hardware that the original gadget has. It’s easy to broke down, and not good to use to. I’ve experienced to use a china made gadget before and it really pissed me off.

Next is the growing issue about those food products from china that contains a harmful substance called melamine. Melamine by itself is nontoxic in low doses, but when combined with cyanuric acid, it can cause fatal kidney stones due to the formation of an insoluble melamine cyanurate.

Melamine cyanurate is illegally added to food products in order to increase the apparent protein content. So, would you dare to buy those foods with cheap costs and suffer in great pain? There are 56 kinds of food that china exported to us that contain melamine cyanurate, so be careful in what you buy, we need to check always the nutrition guide in the foods we use to eat.

Cereals, noodles, candies, milk products, and those that china exports to us, not only in the Philippines but also in other countries, it’s not only melamine cyanurate is the harmful chemical that they mix with their product but also formaldehyde. In conclusion, almost all the products that china exports is not safe to us. The Chinese government should look forward in solving this problem.
