I was just wondering how it would be like to be employed in companies like Tamiya or Academy? What jobs could we employed in?

Since these two companies have factories/offices in the Philippines. Tamiya, I guess is in Cebu and Academy is in Cavite. I bet they could also sponsor competitions or commission project builds. The kits that I bought lately from Tamiya, specially the re-issued ones are marked "Made In The Prilippines".

Your "if ever" statement is starting to be "more likely". The polls are starting to sway into his favor. Mukhang lalo pang tataas presyo ng mga model kits in the coming years.... kelangan nang makapag-hoard! 6 years supply ng model kits! Wahehehehehe
