eleksiyon na naman! boboto ba kayo? malamang hindi ano (gaya din ng maraming hapon)? hindi ba nakapagtataka ang kawalan ng interes ng maraming hapon sa pulitika (hindi gaya ng mga mapulitikang pinoy)?
“Don’t Stop the Reforms!” sabi ng caption. “Let’s fight again for the privatization of Japan Post!”

Ayon sa balita, sabi daw ni G. Takenaka (ex-Prof. of Keio Univ, and is the minister who is promoting this reform and supporting P.M. Koizumi.)
1 In order to make a “small government”, we must reduce the number of civil servants (government workers.) Most post office workers are government workers. If privatized they will be kaishain.
2 About 25% of people’s deposit is in the Post Office.
And these are invested poorly by a few people. If privatized these will be invested more openly, and more widely, thus contribute to the economy of Japan.
3 The initial aim of post office is for poor people to deposit small amount of money, and the deposit of over 10 million yen is illegal. But the truth is that a lot of people are exceeding that limit, because there was no nation-wide computerization.
If privatized, these ilegal excess deposit will go to stock market, thus stimulating the economy.
4 If this privatization can not be done because of pressure from people who are profiting right now, then more difficult tasks of pension reform or medical insurance reform are utterly impossible.
For your information, most educated people around me agree with what G Takenaka says.

Reon san, mabuti at naglagay ka ng topic about the Privatization of Japan Post. Ako rin hindo ko maintindihan kung bakit napakainit na issue ito. Salamat kay Puting Tainga sa pag-elaborate ng issueng ito. Sa isang discussion class with the Japanese, the topic was about Japan Post Privatization - ano ba ang kani-kanilang idea about the issue. To my surprise parang kokonti sa kanila ang may paki-alam about the issue. Sabi pa ng isa - hindi ko naman kailangan iyan kasi hindi Japan Post ang aking bangko. Sabi pa ng isa, hindi ko naiintindihan yung issueng iyan. Medyo nagulat lang ako kasi government employees pa sila e parang wala sila masyadong pakialam sa issues about their government. Ito po ay aking obserbasyon lamang.

Salamat sa post na ito, ako hindi ko rin kasi maintindihan yung isyu.
Pero may tanong ako… bakit nga ba dito sa post office sila dagdedeposit ng pera? bakit hindi na lang sa bangko? may interest din ba? just curious…
Haha ayos yung mga pics reon, tawang-tawa ako, lalo na yung nakasakay sa tren si k-san. Yan ba ang tinatawag na “Cool Biz” (http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nn200 50430f1.htm)?

Bakit nga ba dito sa post office sila dagdedeposit ng pera?
Yes, the interest rate of post office is slightly higher than that of the bank.
More importantly, the government is the guarantor of the deposit.
100% safe!
In the rural areas, where banks are nowhere to be seen, there usually are small post offices, called Tokutei Yubinkyoku. (special post office)
The post master is the son of former post master who is the son of the former-former post master.
Sino ba sila? Parang hari!
This stupid system, where there is no competition, must be remedied.
Nowadays, people in local areas all have cars and uses them to go to supermarket or convenience stores, where there must be ATM machines.
For your information, post office has total deposit of 34 billion yen. (340 oku-en) ,and has total of about 271,000 employees, which is about 30% of all national civil servants. (Kokka komu-in)
The huge amount of money is mainly spent to buy national bonds, (low risk, low return), where the interest is paid by taxpayer’s money, and that is said to be one of the reasons the government keeps issuing the bonds.

Correction:
Mali 34 billion yen (340 oku-en)
Tama 340 trillion yen (340 cho-en)
=340,000,000,000,000
Other news says the total is 350 cho-en.
This tremendous amount of money shows that the initial aim of the postal savings, (for poor people to deposit small amount of money) is now abused by rich guys. Because the population of Japan is around 127 million people.(ichi oku nisen nanahyaku man nin)

thanks for the reply puting tainga. akala ko dati noong unang dating pa lang ako na nagde-deliver lang ng sulat ang post office ng japan. hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako komportable sa idea ng post office bilang bangko (nasa utak lang siguro).
sate, parang marami yata ang bomotong hapon ngayon dahil may konteng traffic dito sa malapit sa amin na wala naman noong last na election.
