FedEx closes Asia-Pacific hub in Subic Bay Philippines
US delivery giant FedEx closed its Asia-Pacific hub in Subic Bay Friday, marking the end of its 13-year-old operations here.
The courier giant is moving its entire hub operations to Guangzhou in China. The market in China is reportedly bigger than the entire market of Southeast Asia. China also gave FedEx rights to handle its domestic cargo, which is huge.
More than 700 Filipinos were left jobless and dozens of workers showed up before dawn Friday at the former hub to wave goodbye to one of the last FedEx planes to fly out of Subic.

i’m not pro or against gloria
kahit palitan nyo sya ng bagong presidente pero kung karamihan ng mga tao ay TAMAD na laging sinasabi ay mahirap sila at sinisisi ang gobyerno ay talagang walang mangyayari.
SPOILED ang mga pinoy
:p
kapag tumaas ang mgs presyo ng bilihin, reklamo ang sunod, yang mga jeepney at tricycle na yan ang lalong nagpapahirap sa atin, laging gusto mababa ang presyo ng gasolina, tapos strike strike pa! sa ibang bansa walang ganyang problema dahil hindi sila nagmumukmok na lang sa isang tabi, gagawa sila ng paraan para makaya nila.
LIFE is TOUGH

Should we boycott any fedex office in the philippines
February 8th, 2009 at 7:51 pm
No comment or news from the Government about Fedex, Intel and Panasonic.
Is that means no more solution to the closing company?
Sana bigyan ng incentive para mag stay

im not agree on what u’ve said NYAHAHA, sabihin mo yan sa mga mangingisda at magsasaka na TAMAD sila ewan ko lang kung saan ko pupulutin, people are hopeless because they see no one to lead them and give them better future at saan mo hahanapin ito kung di sa namumuno at namamahala ng ating mahal na Pilipinas. At never naming sinisi ang gobyerno nanghihingi lang kami ng magandang kinabukasan para sa ating lahat. You seem have a narrow perspective of what is really happening to our motherland, mag research ka pa mababaw na dahilan lang yang sinasabi mo, hanapin mo ung UGAT NG PROBLEMA at maliliwanagan ka!
