I'm always an optimist.
Ah, I don't know the answer to that.
What I do know is just to give some example of China supplying the Philippines with something that maybe we don't know if they should or not, on the consumer side, Chinese electric vehicles in this country have exploded.
Yeah.
I think they went from specifically one brand, BYD,
went from like nobody knowing it yeah to owning a huge percentage, at least the E V market,
and potentially the entire automobile market in a short period of time, like three years.
So if there was any concern about importing Chinese technology into the Philippines, I think it was it's been alleviated by the fact that a large chunk of Filipino automobile consumers today are already using Chinese technology.
That's true.
That's very true.
Singapore's not
do it inside the car.
Okay, cool.
I think similar to the Philippine experience.
Actually, I'm thinking about as you speak, and even this oil crisis is probably gonna spur a lot more kind of purchases towards electric vehicles.
Even though obviously I i i i in the short term it makes a lot of sense because it's like I don't have to go to a gas station.
But yeah, still our power might get more expensive later on, or it already is.
But you know, the Philippines does have subsidies, not subsidies, it's actually just a tax break from buying electric vehicles here, plus we have
have a lot of different additional like perks.
Yeah.
