ROXAS HOLDINGS MULLS SUGAR ECOZONES

Summary:
Roxas Holdings, Inc. is a sugar milling company, which owns and manages sugar manufacturing companies. Central Azucarera Don Pedro is engaged in the producing, marketing and selling raw and refined sugar, molasses and other related products and offers tolling services to traders and planters. Central Azucarera de la Carlota produces raw sugar and molasses and trades the same on wholesale or retail basis. Roxas Holdings, Inc. is planning to diversify its product range by venturing into the development of special economic zones dedicated to the production of high-value sugar products. The firm said its development of so-called sugar economic zones is part of the plan to maximize the potential of its sugar business in La Carlota, Negros Occidental, and Nasugbu, Batangas. The current plan, according to Roxas, is to arrive at a firm decision in two years time as the company leverages the ecozone to attract customers for its high-value sugar products. RHI president Renato C. Valencia said these high-value products include pre-mix sugar, crystal sugar, as well as liquid sugar, among others, that the company can produce by tolling for third party brands. Pre-mix sugar are normally used for drink mixes like soda or juice.

Reaction:

In this news I can say that these company give a higher tax in our economic status. This can also integrate and strengthen our industry. Developing this company can probably be more beneficial to our economic zone but I think these companies should provide or give more taxes according to their net income. They should also give some copies of their financial reports to prevent cheating. In conclusion, the government should be strict in terms of taxes.

    David Colander defines economics as "the study of how human beings coordinate their wants and desires, given the decision-making mechanisms, social customs, and political realities of the society” (Colander, 2010, p. 4). Coordination in this definition refers to production content, method, recipients, and even quantity. To think like an economist one must analyze every situation by comparing the costs and benefits and make any decisions based on those findings (Colander, 2010). The study of microeconomics zeroes in on the individual and analyzes how economic forces affect the choices he or she makes.…

    Americans have always had a strong disapproval of taxes, especially when they are the ones getting taxed. This was precisely the case during the Whiskey Rebellion occurring from 1791-1794. Farmers outraged by a new excise tax on whiskey protested and refused to pay. However the goal of the taxes was to help pay off a $54,000,000 national debt acquired during the Revolutionary War (Historical Spotlight). “Whiskey was a popular drink at the time, so such a tax could raise a lot of revenue”(Paul Krugamn and Robin Wells). American citizens benefited from the Revolutionary War, so shouldn’t they have to pay for it? I strongly believe they should due to the benefits principle of economics. According to the benefits principle those who benefit from the spending should have to pay the tax. Since whiskey was so popular and almost everyone on America used it, it was the perfect item to tax. With nearly everyone consuming or producing whiskey the whiskey tax produced maximum government revenue while simultaneously spreading out the burden of the tax.…
