OFWs hurt by strong Philippine peso

[Eve's Apple Project]

---

OFW, maski asa ka ma destino, as long as it is outside the Philippines, the exchange rate of any X currency against the Philippine Peso will affect you. Most currencies in the world are rated against the US Dollar.

Muingon lang ka ug "HURT" kay nakatilaw na man ka ug lami.. nakatilaw man ka ug taas nga exchange rate sa imong earnings. Karon nga nimubo, aw, "HURT" ka kay gusto ka perming lami.

Daghan kaayo elements ang Ecomonics bai. It is a complex game theory always changing.

It just happens that changes in one aspect, parameter, element, occur at different time scale as your exchange rate.

Hurting ka sa lost PHP15 per dollar nimo? Aw, pauli lang gud. Dili na ka masakitan pa ana.

OT: when you answer bai, be objective. dont tell me those non sense talk nga pauli sa pinas BS.
this news came out because this is a REALITY. a lot of people are affected (maybe not you since you dont earn in USD). MOST specially those who earn less than you & I (WHO by the way can't/don't have access to the internet like we do..e.g. DH, construction workers, etc).

IF you are from other places e.g. SG where a few years back 1SGD = 28 pesos, compared to 1SGD=33 pesos today would you still consider yourself affected? really? again, ang na directly hit ani kay ang mga tao who earns in USD.

Ahahahaha!
Moabot nalang ni og 100 pages, dili jud mo maghuman...
:funny2:

Para nako...

1) wala ko ma-HURT anang atong stronger PhP. Kay actually, it doesn't happen overnight man pod. Kung trending nga going down na, mag-save dayon, adjust the spending dayon...

2) ang dili maayo is ang stronger PhP dili ma-translate natong mga ultimo nga lumulopyo. Mura ra siya og "good figure" nga dili ma-feel sa kadaghanan.

3) a stronger PhP nga na-"translated" into the masses is an OFW's dream! If mahitabo na na, daghan na jud nga mga nahilayo nga OFW ang manguli. Ang question ra is kanus-a pa kaha ni mahitabo...

Sa akong tan-aw, ang mga niingon nga na-HURT sila is wala man jud na-hurt bah... na-ikag ra na sila. Igo ra nisaka ilang kilay kay medyo nakuha-kuhaan jud ila remittances. Pero ang tinood, wala man na sila ma-hurt bah...

Ankuna nalang gud!


Di pa lagi ni maghuman bah... balik lang nya ko diri ig page 100 nah!

Peace

wala man diay ka kasabot noh?

maski asa ang ofw, anywhere in the world, the forex of any currency is rated against the US Dollar. you are talking about your singapore dollar to the peso, giagi man ghapon na ug conversion to usd, then usd to peso based on rates diha sa singapore. dili man na deretso nga X currency to the peso.

i am both objective and subjective, whichever is applicable. just don't tell me that i talk nonsense here. if dili ka kasabot, aw, you simply refuse to understand. i am trying to talk sense here, kay the reality of this topic here is rooted in GREED.

in fact, if dili nimo madawat ang fluctuating exchange rate, the best sensible option for you is to resign and come home or move elsewhere nga madawat nimo ang offer.

it is never nonsense to resign if dili nimo madawat ang imo sweldo kay ni lower ang exchange rate.

otherwise, be grateful.. be thankful you have found your greener pasture... and stop whining.

work hard, and save... save.. save.

i do not mean to lecture you. obviously, we are no separate mindsets. to each his own. goodluck.

But how bout tong mga DH who earns less than 300USD? have you ever thought unsa na kadako nga epekto sa ilaha?

If sa Pinas sila mutrabaho pagka DH, maka sweldo kaha sila ug 300USD? i dont think so.
DH OFW = Sweldo is 12k pesos
DH sa pinas = sweldo 3k pesos

If mu ubos ang dollar ug 3 pesos from 40:
DH OFW = Sweldo is 11,100 pesos
DH sa pinas = sweldo 3k pesos

Angay pa nang ikasakit nang 11k?

as an OFW myself, i know how to budget my expenses but what if you already maxed out your budget? pahonongon nalng nato ang atong anak ani nga nagskwela og private school? or mopahawa nalng ta sa atong gi utang nga balay para mo rent og mas gamay nga balay? if mao nay toyo, then why did we sacrifice this far then? simple ra ang news bai, OFWs who earns in USD did really got hurt but not to the extent that we will come back to the phils to find a job there. kabalo ta tanan nga WALAY work nga makit-an didto (or pipila nalay nahalibin). as PINOY we are always resilient to these things, sometimes that is the reason why we are taken advantage by our ever supportive govt.

Why man sad wa nimu gi consider ang fluctuation sa rate when you started budgeting?

The irony is atung mga kababayan nga naa sa pinas nag sweldo ug minimum nakapa eskwela man lagi sa ilang mga anak, uban dili private pero nakapaeskwela. Nakapakaon sad, nakabuh sad using a meager income. Most of them di man mu reklamu, i badget ra if unsay maabot sa gamay nga sweldo. Pero kitang OFW kusog mureklamu kay ni ubos ug pila ka pesos ang exchange rate nga if hunaon hunaon natu kapilahun man ug PILO ang sweldo sa Minimum wage earners sa Pinas. Nya mu ingun pata nga na MAX out atung badget? We have income 4x 5x 6x sa minimum sweldo sa pinas tawn oi.

hey kuyabog, below the belt naman nang imohang tirada! Ngano gud intawon nga kung lahi ang view sa usa ka tawo, tawagon nimong bogo? Pilosopo pa kaayo kag style, tawgon2x lang ning mga OFWs nga GREEDY, unya papaulion pa jud kung mo express sa ilang gibati. Unsa man intawon ka oi?

Sakto gyud ka boss Jack.

Wala man gyud na sila na "HURT"... greed lang gyud na bah.. they want MORE.. MORE.. MORE..

It's not jud the OFWs who are hurt by this. have you considered the plight of our rattan and other furniture exporters, or the foreign based companies who have to pay salaries to our millions of BPO workers nationwide? they have to shell out more because of the high peso. the problem with our country is even though the peso is appreciating, our purchasing power is decreasing. just ponder on this, in the US, you can buy a new Honda Civic for $20K. average salary there for a professional is about $6K per month. if we have the same situation here, I would have bought two cars already, but even if my salary is above than most of us working here, I still can't afford to buy one.

Asa may daghan natu, exporters or importers?

Imung example bro nag Justify na sa Advantage if daku ang Value sa Currency nimu. Daghan Sakyanan sa US imported man nah, Or ang materials ana, Electronics sa US dis a man pangbuhata? di ba ila ra nang gi import?
So since strong ang Dollar, barato ra ilang palit so barato ra ilang baligya sa US.

If mag tour sila sa lain nasud, daku mag value ilang dollar so barato ra ilang magasto.

If ang value sa Peso = dollar, mupalit kay iphone gikan sa US, 1000 pesos ra imung mabayran - so unsa na MAKAAYU nimu or MAKADAOT?

Oops.. I apologize if FOUL ang akong tirada. I sincerely apologize.

I eat my offending words.. and edit my post. I am sorry.

Maayo man ka diha maam Dorothea kay tingali nag enjoy ka sa imong kinabuhi diha sa USA. Dili gyud ka mag HURT diha sa land of milk and honey.

basaha sa ugdang ug puno sa untop nga panahom nga post ni boss Jackdi.

wala gyud na na HURT na sila maam Dorot.

they are the OFWs who want more.. crave for more.. more ... more.

if you have a thesaurus besides you.. try to find me a word for that please..

have a nice day.
