You should visit Hong Kong, or Singapore.



Both places have a 6 day working week, with Sunday the day off for ALL domestic staff. So, on Sunday, the whole place is filled with flippos crowding into money transfer services to send money back to the Philippines.

Ya, when we were in The Fils, the numero uno source of revenue was these workers. They are officially termed OFW, Overseas Filipino Worker



As for our country, I can't see how it helps to have money leaving the country rather than being invested or spent here .. which actually helps our people.



They even have boxes produced for their belongings to be taken along with them.  Later there came special boxes to send home goodies to family .. . which at least helps the country  they work in.



They desperately need a long term government that can slowly get things going at home and produce goods and "workers" as most other countries do. "Leaders" have been sub-par and none that I know of has helped the people. Prolly Ramos was the best they had at getting some economy established and his paltry efforts and hatred from the general population lead to a B grade TV actor getting elected (and then he got himself arrested while still in office as I recall).

His election combined with the Asia Stock crash that hurt everything were why we got out fast

It still is, maybe more so today. I heard they have separate lines for returning OFW's at Manila's airport?

At times, depending on flight origin they did when we were there. Working in other countries is a HUGE industry there



Long overdue is "real" leaders to make the country economically viable and to provide work for its people.



The string of really really bad leaders is huge .. and without a break that I'm aware of

There is a number of super wealthy families(usually of Chinese origin) who control everything, including the presidency. Their corruption is the reason the Fil will never get the investment in factories that other SE Asian nations have.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

If someone posted anything you say is incorrect, counter it. I don't think you can, which is why you post blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

You don't know me from Adam so you don't truly know what I can do or cannot do. I'll counter any posts IF I WANT TO and if I want to waste my time doing so. I've countered countless posts which led to countless fights. No one here tells me how and what to post to whom. I'll post what I want to post any day and time, and I'll say blah blah blah blah each time I choose to do so.

As you know, we did serious business there for almost 4 years.



From direct observation, it seemed that consistently most running business and govt were mainly of Spanish origin (and name) and 2nd Chinese who are there mainly, if not only, for business

Henry Sy of San Miguel companies was born in China, but has lived in the Philippines for most of his life.

Either way many live there permanently
