Leave and migrate?

 

Maybe to leave the country if assigned abroad on company expense, but to migrate? no way.

 

I have discussed a lot and debated with a lot of people when they say that they are leaving because of the "corrupt govenment." Come on now. So what if the government is corrupt. Let me give you a piece of advise: CORRUPTION IS EVERYWHERE. Even in the US.

 

Please please please, if you are going to leave and migrate, then be honest: you are doing it because of better opportunities or greener pastures.

TO LEAVE,

 

SANA MA-APPROVE NA AUSTRALIA KO.

 

HIRIP DITO DAHIL SA GOBYERNO NATIN.

 

PEACE

I understand why a lot of pinoys migrate to other countries. At the same time, I admire those who choose not to migrate and stay in the country.

 

I choose not to migrate because I believe that I can contribute to the betterment of the country. I believe that if the educated and the motivated pinoys decide to migrate then there is really no chance for the country to improve.

 

I still have hope for our country. I believe that in we can improve the country for just being good and responsible citizens. We don't need to be like Jose Rizal or Ninoy Aquino to change the country for the better but we need to convert love of country in our daily activities.

 

GO PHILIPPINES!!!!! :thumbsupsmiley:

[sarapngpinay]

here, there and everywhere.

[diver_703]

let's be honest and not be hypocrite... most of the people who leave Pinas just want to have a better life, that's all... kc naman there's very little opportunity sa Pinas... yung mga sinuwerte, nasa Pinas pa rin... good for them... pag may pera ka or business, sa Pinas ka... kung wala, better look somewhere else...

[mannyger]

masaya na sana ako dito sa PInas dahil sa napakaraming kaibigan

at happenings, pero dahil sa hirap ng buhay kahit ayaw mong umalis

mapipilitan ka, lalo na ngayong palala ng palala ang kahirapan natin

dahil na rin sa maruming pulitika ng ating bansa!

[Kali_Angel]

If you had the option, would you leave the Philippines and move to another country? Why would you?  Of course, that would mean leaving all your friends, your family, your career, and if you have, your significant other behind...

yeah, i would...

pero siguro, kapag mejo matanda na ako..

balik na ako sa pinas.. ;D

WORK ABROAD,

TAMA BA?

 

[multisarap]

There were a lot of options for me to leave the country but then I don't want to. I belive I can make my dreams here and I believe it. I always wonder why do chinese and indian immigrants want to settle here when the natural-born Filipinos are going outside. How come the taipans in our country got to be rich when most started from nothing like the Sy of SM City? The fellow chinese filipino being discriminated against doesn't have much of an opportunity before yet they built their own opportunities and made their own fortunes. Why should I believe riches are in the far shores when our own shores are rich? What's the difference of the rich now? Nothing. They are as flesh and blood like us. Their only difference is they believe they can and they did.

Agree! Enjoy the best of both worlds just like I do... :thumbsupsmiley:

Unfortunately, yes. It is a sad, sad state of affairs that many of us consider leaving for abroad not as a last resort (as in other countries) but as a primary option. I remember hearing of a UP professor (or dean, I forget) telling his most recent crop of graduates, "Hindi namin kayo tinuruan para i-export!"

 

But sadly, this is where a lot of our brilliant country-men are headed because of the unstable political and economic situation, the insatiably corrupt government and the unfair practices in our own country. I remember reading an article in the opinion columns of the Philippine Daily Inquirer where the author (I believe it was former Justice Isagani Cruz, my apologies if I'm wrong) was relating his encounter with a Filipino chef abroad whose culinary creation the author was enjoying. Imagine his surprise when he learned that here in our own country, he could not aspire to be more than be the bodyguard of some member of the House of Representatives! As the columnist wrote, "What a waste of talent."

 

I was in the United States sometime ago and was seriously considering staying there for good. As fate would have it, I decided against such a move because I felt I couldn't leave everything I've known all my life just yet. So I decided to come back to the Philippines. Thing is, even while I was still in the airport, I was already thinking, "what the hell am I doing?"

[BulBangs]

i want to leave. leave it all behind

[kreestian]

have plans of migrating... been working overseas for the past few years and hopefully, i'll have the chance to really settle and migrate!

 

syempre i still have hope sa pinas... may mag lead lang na matino sa atin, i'll definitely be willing to be a part in the making of a rich and prosperous philippines!
