THE PHILIPPINES IS A COUNTRY WHERE ALL THINGS CAN BE HANDLED PRETTY EASILY AND WITH DIPLOMACY PERSONALLY AS WELL AS PROFESSIONALLY. BEING AN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY IT IS PRETTY EASY FOR COMPANIES TO DO BUSINESS HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES AS WELL AS HIGHLY EDUCATED COLLEGE GRADUATES WHOSE LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE IS HIGHLY COMMENSURATE WITH WORLD CLASS LEVELS OF KNOWLEDGE.

Another fact that is not related to the discussion but worth mentioning; the microprocessor (aka Merom Santa Ynez) that is used in the Mac Book Air is ONLY assembled and tested in Intel Tech Phils.

Vietnam? Their inflation is at 27%, the highest in Asia. I doubt Intel would think of setting up there. Cost of labor is rising everywhere including the countries you mentioned. Vietnam?

I used to work in the Semiconductor industry and most of the big players are in Laguna (except Intel). Also these companies work with each other in various aspects, outsourcing testing, packaging, etc., so its not all Intel processes happening inside the plant. Logistics wise, its a good move. Also, pilferage happens in all the semicon plants, not just Intel. the problem is when one company moves devices to an outsourced service and that's where the the higher occurrence of pilferage happens I’m not surprised.

As what SY mentioned, there is no existing wafer fabrication facility here. Therefore, it doesn't follow that Intel will stay here because it ships out 45nm products. Wafers are produced from other sites and units can be assembled and tested on other sites like China. I guess it's the cost per unit comparison that matters for Intel's survival here in RP. yup Intel Philippines is an assembly and test site. not a fab. there’s a big difference between the two.
