The Social Economics Effect of the Masinloc Coal Fired Power Plant

Abstract

Capitalist penetration to pre-capitalist modes of production gives birth to contradictions. this paper will assume that the Masinloc Coal Fired Power Plant will diminish the productivity within its domain. The researcher fielded randomly 50 questionnaires for the inhabitants of Barangay Bani and the workers of the plant. The researcher found out that the people was robbed of their land with sweet coated promises, giving them the assurance that they will sustain their way of living by working inside the plant. It turns out that the promise given to them turned bitter and was left with no land, no job, and a lot of anxiety. After gathering the qualitative data the researcher quantified the respondents' insights and came about his conclusions. This study will hopefully be an eye-opener to the readers that the Masinloc Coal Fired Power Plant was built with contradictions and inconsistencies that still haunt the people.
