“I would like to differentiate between those that are losing hope and those that are leaving,� the President said. “There are those who leave the country not because they are desperate but because they have a good chance, since Filipinos are in demand and are world-class.�

New Filipino English definition of "world-class": Filipinos who can't find decent paying jobs in their own country and are able to leave.

Thats the very reason that the communist and other groups must cease to exist so that investors foreign or not will not be afraid to invest in the country...Imagine two or three governments trying to collect taxes from companies? Kinsa guy ganahan mo negosyo ana....Ang investments ma concentrate ra jud sa mga urban centers kay ang mga rural areas wala nay mo adto nga negosyante.....mangahadlok naman...I am not saying nga this is the major reason ha? Pero somehow naka tabang jud ni nganong wala mo asenso atoang nasud....

and those people who stayed?

yeah people who leave the country and bring in some dollars... and make the peso stronger with your remittances so that I can use that as a claim that I have indeed made the Philippines better.

what more if philippines was a communist, this would be "flips who cant find decent paying jobs in their own country and are unable to leave" which is more miserable

i agree with you...those who are working abroad have somehow lifted us a bit and we should support them.

yes its correct they leave the country coz they cant a decent job here.its a fact...why are trying to force ourselves here if we can work abroad and have a better paying job.why curse the darkness?

[FK]

onya ngano ni hawa man sila? was it really because they are in demand or because they loss hope that they can find a decent job here?

[marquee]

they wanted a far more better living! living with luxuries! kahayahay na sa mga doctor dri daghan sakyanan. mga young professionals dagko sweldo pero motrabaho abroad. why? but in reality mas decent pa ang mga jobs dri compared abroad for professionals coz mga blue collar jobs ang available sa gawas then naa pa gyud discrimination and kamingaw! i've been there. di mabayran ang kamingaw sa pamilya except lang kung daghan mo didto!

you are right theres no place like home.unsaon man na if we are home but wla sad ta gkaon nya lisod kaayo ato kinabuhi...that why nisugal na lng cla to work abroad...

[eelssej_]

i believe there's a lot of "world-class" filipinos... and because this country can't offer good jobs for these guys... they tend to find opportunities abroad...

i think the problem is we don't have enough investors... one major factor is the political instability this country has...

we all have the right to abode, and that is expressly written in the constitution. stiking to GMA's definition, it's like she's trying to cover up the real situation of the country that we are indeed suffering of poverty. the reason why these people left the country because of the lack of better employment here in the philippines. the government feels happy that lot of people are leaving the country today-which can add up to the brain drain in the country. the government should be doing something on this issue. it should provide filipinos decent and stable job, rather than what we are having right now which is an unfair labor practice.that is what GMA should be bearing into her mind.
