The work that the World Trade Center in New York was doing was important work, and it is still important work.
The best way to create a better standard of living is by improving the economy via world trade.
In the Philippines, they can send goods to the ports in Mexico, and also the Philippines can expand trade with Australia. The best way to help the people of the Philippines is with world trade and with education, etc.
Italy can also use workers from the Philippines in order to grow grapes and to make wine, etc. And to help to make olive oil, etc. And to grow lemons and to make limoncello, etc.
The Philippines can be nice like Hawaii, and like Tahiti, etc, with tourism, etc. And they can do trade.
Salute,
Tony V.
