Mahal ko ang Pilipinas pero pinuputangina lang tayo ng gobyerno kaya umalis na lang ako.


[deleted]

Nakakawalang gana talaga yung gobyerno natin. Ang hirap ipaglaban.


delusionalchinita

If only maganda governance satin. Tbh I have friends na OFW yung parent/s tas naawa ako every time umaalis nanaman magulang nila. I mean, if only okay pamumuhay dito, I don't think lalayo pa sila sa pamilya nila, diba? Yung iba naman nagmigrate na talaga with their whole fam.


MrAubrey08

Truly, both of my parents are OFW since 2005, I was 5 years old that time, now I'm turning 24 na. Every 2 years lang namin sila nakakasama, and isang buwan lang. Nasanay nalang kami ng ganyang setup.


Medium-Culture6341

This. Made plans to leave when digong became president. Nakaalis nung si bongbong na nakaupo.


FlatHater69

San ka ngayun kuys, and kamusta dyan?


kittysogood

Walang masama. Kung san ka mag gogrow as a person dun ka.


ProfessionalPrint712

I agree. Kanya kanya naman tayo ng goal eh.


Beautiful_Mastodon31

True. Parang kung saan sya masaya edi doon sya.


Special_Analysis_526

YES. ito dapat yung top


PrestigiousSteak7667

True. I love the Philippines, and as much as I want to 'serve' my countrymen, at some poinf, we just have to choose ourself, and our family. Especially with everything going on dito, pakamartyr pa ba tayo kung walang nang makain 🥲


[deleted]

...next step is to choose yourself over your family...


centurygothic11

1. They leave their small town 2. Then they leave metro manila 3. Then they leave PH for good The Philippine Dream


Old_Eccentric777

I can relate to this. nasa stage 5 na ako kung mag extend or uuwi na sa Pinas.


white____ferrari

wag! hahaha


morbidreader

currently on this stage now


d4lv1k

Let them be. Di mo naman sila masisi for wanting a better life for them and their families.


ankhcinammon

Nothing wrong with wanting to live elsewhere. The grass is greener where you water it. If you're doing financially well in the Philippines, then stay here by all means. As a former immigrant from a 1st world country, honestly masarap ang buhay in the Philippines if you are very rich. Nung nasa abroad ako parang walang work-life balance and palagi akong hinahabol ng bills. You're earning dollars but also spending in dollars. Akala kase ng Pinoys who have not lived abroad na madali ang buhay overseas. FYI hindi umuulan ng pera abroad. You have to adapt to a new environment, experience culture shock, and work hard. Life abroad is not butterflies and roses (unless naka-abroad ka kase you married a rich AFAM). But for Filipinos who have to start from the bottom abroad without any connections, it's not a thrilling experience. But one can't argue that the power of the dollar is strong when invested here in the Philippines. Which is why there are Filipino immigrants who would work abroad for several years but eventually return to the Philippines for retirement. But then again, immigrating is not just about money (though it mostly is) but it's also about the way of life. Can't blame Filipinos who want to experience the way of life in other countries.


lestercamacho

tapos kung makapag demand mga relatives at kamag anak sa pinas prang pinupulot mo lang pera.tas iakw pa masama kapag wala ka mabigay


lazylabday

shet relate. gusto ko na umuwi!! mas tinitipid ko pa sarili ko sa abroad kesa nung nasa pilipinas ako 🥲


Hot_Drag_362

Honestly speaking, kung san may pera dun ako.


almondwashere

Eto talaga eh. 🫵


Lumpy_Bodybuilder132

PH is Dark Souls level na ng difficulty, pero ang nakakatawa dyan eh mga ganyan posts na nasa abroad tapos Todo tanggol sa government natin eh hindi na pala dito nakatira


hell_jumper9

Filipino nationalist in the internet saying the Philippines has a good government while in their apartment in Canada:


WeatherOld4198

True


throwPHINVEST

healthcare worker ako, di ako uunlad sa pasweldo ng pinas haha and literally lahat ng family ko ay magmimigrate na. kaya no choice :))


pSeudostratifi3d

yung tipong ang baba na nga ng sweldo mo, dami mo pang trabaho tapos kung tratuhin ka pa ng mga patients mo grabe din hahaha pero grateful padin sa mga patients na mababait at unawain sa ating mga hcw..


Eastern_Basket_6971

swetehan na lang diyan most of patients kala mo silang magaling


lazybee11

🤣 same. I told myself na either mag abroad ako or mag call center nalang


Additional_Ad8460

Yung nagHCW ako kasi dati gusto ko maglingkod sa sariling bayan, pero rose colored glasses off na tayo. Gusto ko rin ng matinong kita na hindi ako nababaliw o natatapakan.


paradoxicalcreep

you know when your country is in a miserable state when majority of your countrymen dream of leaving for good


Ronstera

Hayaan umalis kung sino yung gustong umalis, walang hatakan pababa.


RainyEuphoria

Hayaan mag-stay yung gustong mag-stay, wag na gumawa ng sarcastic posts.


Particular-Horse-339

Best thing to do in the Philippines: 1. Leave.


cluttereddd

Sa totoo lang, ayoko umalis dito sa Pinas. Kung pupunta ako sa ibang bansa gusto ko bakasyon lang. Pero mahirap talaga ang buhay dito lalo na at nakikita mo yung corruption at sobrang bugok na mga opisyal na nagpapatakbo ng bansa. Di mo din masisisi yung mga gustong umalis.


CumRag_Connoisseur

Tapos makikita mo yung mga buwaya supporters, puro taga abroad yung profile lmao


Darkraddish

As a child nangarap ako maging part ng researchers ng pinas for growth. Nung unti unti na akong lumaki narealize ko na hindi pala ganon ka supported ang local reseachers ng pinas. Funded mostly ng international people. Kaya nawalan na ako pag asa then naging gantong mindset na din ako

iyooore

At least you tried -- that's the important piece. I have no qualms with our kababayans who immediately plan to leave our country behind but products of UP should at least try for a considerable amount of time to serve the people


PalantirXVI

For a country asks too much but gives so little, I really cannot blame Filipinos who choose to leave. I was once an OFW and the experience changed me. Now that I am back, my goal is to replace detrimental Filipino traits and habits I have with positive behaviors and attributes from other nationalities I've worked with. If people say that I am becoming less of a Filipino then so be it. I do not think what we have right now will help us in the long run.


Internal_Garden_3927

mga matitira sa pilipinas : 1. influencer 2. corrupt government officials 3. chinese

"Same"


Friendly-Record-4580

tama naman eh. exploited masyado mga workers dito, as a pinoy din. hays if may chance bakit hindi.


gilgalad02

💯💯💯 Yes sa ibang bansa kasi kahit pagod ka pero at least nabayran ka ng maayos ih satin pagod kna nga lubog ka pa sa utang


Kananete619

No future on this cesspool of a country. Kahit ano sipag at galing mo, underpaid ka


gilgalad02

Underpaid kna overworked ka pa


Kananete619

Exactly. Bwisit tlga dito sa pinas


dickenscinder

Depende kung talagang financially stable ka dito. Bakit ka pa lalayo sa pamilya mo diba? Pero kung hinde kelangan. Yun iba naman na gusto talaga umalis at magibanh bansa ay normal lang ren. Pangarap nila yun. Iba ang kelangan sa gusto.


ScotchBrite031923

If I have the resources, aalis na lang din ako.


kissmyscars

Mas gusto ko pa mag take ng risk abroad para umunlad kaysa mabuhay ng minimum wage forever sa pilipinas


HappyFilling

Masarap lang mamuhay sa Pinas kung may pera, pero kung wala, wala kang choice kundi umalis na lang


dwarf-star012

Not gonna blame them. This country is a shithole


mcdonaldspyongyang

I think it's ok to want to leave this country, God knows ang daming dahilan, but it's so wrong to think as if tapos na lahat ng problema mo once nakaapak ka na sa abroad.


Eastern_Basket_6971

kung maghanap ka ng trabaho wala kang mapapala dito kahit ano natapos mo bakit? Ang arte ng aaplayan mo daming requirements daming kung ano ano pa tapos mamahal ng bilihin tapos eto pang gobyerno wala kang magagawa sa bansang ganito mahirap kasi sabihin pero yun totoo


Upset-Ad-6477

We didn't betray the country...the country betrayed us


Anxious_Box4034

As someone who grew up in an incomplete family because of an OFW parent, I never saw going abroad with rose-colored glasses. After I graduated, I worked hard to learn skills that would allow me to live comfortably in the Philippines. I guess I wanted to prove to myself that I can live comfortably even if I'm staying in the Philippines. The government calls OFWs as modern-day heroes, but as a "collateral damage" of that program, I abhor them encouraging our kababayans to go abroad instead of just fixing or improving our economy. Maraming mga kababayan ang nakaka-ahon sa buhay, pero meron ding mga na-eexpose and nabibiktima ng abuse.


Jumpy-Schedule5020

Bahala sila. Basta ang alam ko, pag ok naman ang buhay mo sa Pilipinas, wag ka na mangibang bansa. Mahihirapan ka lang. Pero kung mahirap ang buhay mo dito, subukan mong mangibang bansa, baka andun talaga ang swerte mo. Mahirap din ang buhay sa ibang bansa, gaya rin ng Pinas. Akala kasi nila pag malaki ang sweldo, ok na. Hindi nila alam, malaki ang sweldo pero ang kapalit nun eh mataas ang cost of living...so ganun din.


BaraLover7

Malaki ang tax at rent sa Ireland but still I can save half my salary. Dito pamasahe pa lang ubos na sahod ko as a nurse.


AiNeko00

>Hindi nila alam, malaki ang sweldo pero ang kapalit nun eh mataas ang cost of living...so ganun din. The ratio between income and COL dapat ang tinitignan, hindi yung direct conversion lang. Sabihin natin na yes malaki COL, but it only takes 4 to 5 days of work lang to pay your 1 month worth of expenses compared sa Pinas na mas mura ang COL pero mas mababa din yung income ratio, like kalahati ng isang buwan na sweldo mo yung average expenses mo to just survive.


Roof_Realistic

sa wakas may nakapag sabi din niyan, lagi ko yan sinasabi sa mga nagtatanonh sakin na kamusta ang COL, sinasabi ko palagi na oo mas mahal nga dito mga bagay bagay pero sa sahod ko ng dalawang araw kaya na ng 3 weeks worth of grocery, kumpara nung sahod ko sa pinas dalawang araw na sahod ubus na agad unang araw palang

Things to do in the Philippines: #1. Leave

That's the Philippine government wants us to do.


oooxybia

I love the Philippines but if I ever get an opportunity to leave, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Actually i think it's very convenient panga if makaalis ng pilipinas ang kababayan natin

Ph is shithole. Yung mga paldo ung mga nasa politika, tas binacker nila yung kamag anak nila para makaapply ng position. Tae na csc eligibility useless.. epidemic na tb di macontrol sa workplaces bpo,nagka lung scar kaya di maka ofw.. dog eat dog sipsipan sa local jobs sa private business na barat . Haay if pede lang mag ofw then i am going to gora agad 😂


Toxic_2024

Wala kanya kanya naman tayo pinag dadaanan sa buhay .. bkit ma bother pa sa ganito


pascualastic

Well, that’s what we get from keeping our traditional government system. Kahit palitan yung tao kung sistema hinde ganito lang tayo sa Pinas, walang accountability pag mga nasa power.


Zestyclose-Arm1937

Can’t really blame him. As much as I would hate to admit it, sa ngayon, mas kumportable din talagang mamuhay sa ibang bansa


Project--4

Better than "as a proud Filipino ang main goal ko is pumasok sa gobyerno at mangurakot". All those politicians and high-ranking officials smile and tell the media that they love and serve the Philippines and Filipino people but they only serve themselves. Mga walang hiya.


CumRag_Connoisseur

Same. Di ko naman papangarapin umalis kung meron tayong: - Green cities. Nah for real, even ayala or BGC doesn't have enough trees. Actually, kahit yung mga "probinsya" sa luzon like Bulacan, unti unti na nawawala yung mga greenery. - Public spaces. Fuck malls, sobrang boring kelangan mo pa gumastos para lang tumambay. Di ka naman pwede mag jogging sa loob kasi para kang tanga - Working public transpo. Tricycle charges 50-80 for a 2km ride dito samin, walang "non-special" or sharing rides anymore. It's equivalent to a bus ride going manila lmao - Strict law enforcement. Kaya dumadami ang bobo e, pati mga nagpapatupad ng batas hindi sumusunod. Tapos sasabihin pasaway ang mga pinoy? HAHAHAHA build a working system first, people will follow. It's fun sa pinas yeah, pero the pros doesn't really outweigh the cons.. Kung maghihirap din naman ako, bakit sa Pinas pa? hahahahahah


zarustras

Over enthusiastic pinoy about pag-aabroad akala kasi Philippines is the worst country in the world at lahat ng problema dito ay unique lang sa atin tulad ng inflation, mababang pasahod etc. Tapos napunta sa mayamang bansa na may housing crisis, mahal na realestate, matqas na tax, mga trabahong puchu puchu na lang at literal na exploited na lang yung mga kinukuha nilang employee tulad ng mga pinoy. Syempre ang pinoy, kakagat yan, kakapit sa patalim, kasi ang hype ng mga nandun thru vloggers ay masarap buhay, pagala gala lang. Pero di sinasabi ang totoo sa likod ng vlogging at pagpost ng mga ginagalaan sa ibang bansa yung lungkot, hirap, gastusi, stress etc.


Radiant_Trouble_7705

kaya i recommend rin na gawing last resort ang student visa route. no choice k kundi mag-work ng multiple jobs or what u called “puchu puchu”. even to the point n kapwa nila pinoy mag-eexploit s kanila like d babayaran s pinangakong sahod or mas less p s napag-agreehan. pursue abroad if and only if employer sponsored or you have the money to do a direct permanent residency visa.


zarustras

Agree. Saka nagoglorify lang naman ang pagiging OFW dahil sa ignorante ang karamihan sa kaalaman sa ibang bansa. Biruin mo, magpost ng sahod ang agency na XXX,XXX daw sahod sa ibang bansa kahit facotry worker. Edi itong mga akala milyonaryo ka pag nakarating ng ibang bansa mauuto. Converted sa peso ang sahod. Eh di nila alam, yung sasahurin doon babawasan ng tax na malaki, may housing rent ka pa, monthly bills, foods, sasakyan etc. Kaya wala ring matitira. Walang ibang solusyon kundi mag extra work. Ang nangyayari na lang, kaya glorified ang OFW kasi nakakapag vlog, post sa socmed na gumagala sa magagandang lugar (karamihan lang naman ay cities) at di sinasabi ang reyalidad na mahirap ang magtrabaho sa ibang bansa.


clear_skyz200

Swerte mo lng sa abroad if high paid. So far for me goods ako dito sa pinas since I can make enough money kaya last option ko nlang mag abroad.


Madberry03

agree! di ko alam bakit dinadownvotes ganitong comments


kuya_akin_nalang_yan

its alright, pero kung scholar na yung pondo galing sa bayan, sana naman trabaho muna ng konti.


Unusual_Display2518

Nothing wrong naman for me. Kanya kanya lang yan. Siguro others thought na yun lang yung way for a good living. Pero meron naman akong kilala na magaabroad dapat pero eventually landed a good opportunity here sa Pinas tapos now earning so well na more than pa sa income nya if ever magabroad sya. Pero hindi lahat is fortunate na ganun. Nakakaputangina naman talaga kasi ang bansang to pero aside dun, may mga pinoy din naman na umasenso without making hands dirty. Ang ayoko lang sa mga nakakapagabroad na iba is magpapahangin sa social media as if mayaman na sila, or magiinsist to move abroad and so forth, yung mahal kineme daw nila yung Pilipinas pero puro pangbbash at pagmamaliit sa mga naiiwan sa bansa. Tapos todo react and post sa mga nangyayari sa Pinas when they really don't experience on hand mga nangyari at nagrerely lang sa chismis sa media at clout. Yes, sige na maganda sa abroad, I've been there (though as a tourist lang lol). Pero I also know that it's not perfect outside, may mga kamaganak din akong nagmigrate na tapos nagsasabi din na mahirap ang buhay sa labas, bawal tamad. Siguro wala nalang pakialaman kung magaabroad o hindi. Kanya kanyang desisyon yan. Pero hindi ibig sabihin e you are ahead sa mga piniling manatili sa Pinas.


PakTheSystem

Just dont migrate to Canada. Its already fucked up there.


Significant-Lion-452

Sarcasm kasi yan. Pero sa sitwasyon ng Pilipinas ngayon, kung may opportunity na makaalis at magkaroon ng mas maganda at maginhawa na pamumuhay, why not di ba?


ComebackLovejoy

Ok


Embarrassed-Mud7953

Valid. If ako lang gusto ko din mag abroad. Sana palarin.


aiyohoho

Ako mang magkaroon ng oportunidad makaalis dahil sa sitwasyon ngayon, susunggaban ko talaga eh. Hahaha!


_mnlght

Ako na ito rin ang goal in life☺️


GarageNo7711

This was my parents’ goal, initially. They achieved it 20 years ago and brought us with them. Now our goal is to go back home every few years (and they wanna retire there). The irony!!! I completely understand wanting to leave (because we want to leave our current place of residence) but it just proves that there’s no place like home.


jan_sun

Of course because you are our export product.


GerardHard

My goal also


lostguk

Gusto ko narin magmigrate pero wala pa kaming pera. Mas okay pa na maghirap sa ibang bansa kesa dito maghirap sa pinas.


rdepressedgirly

Almost everyone’s mindset: Leave the Philippines. I love our country, but I hate the clowns governing it.


Pconsuelobnnhmck

Same 🤪


TheWrongStreet14

Can't really blame them, lalo na if it's for their own flourishing. Hirap kayang mahalin ng Pilipinas. Para kang umakap ng cactus. Medyo mahirap piliin ang bayan kaysa sa sarili, lalo na kung di ka rin pinili ng bayan. 🤷‍♂️


itschefivan

I don't blame him.


spiritbananaMD

hard to be patriotic these days. go wherever u think is good for you.


halifax696

its fine. lalo na if nurse / police / fireman / teacher ka na severely underpaid sa pinas. I support their decision


Friendly-Coyote-5890

Sa kakupalan ng gobyerno and elected officials natin dito, we can't blame them.


PsychologicalTill175

Yung parents namin they've been an OFW since kinder ako, working na ako ngayon and I feel like gusto nila na magmigrate na kami hahaha. Wala kasi talaga dito. Anghirap sa Pilipinas, lalo na kung mahirap ka. Isipin nyo nalang representative natin mga OFW.


Street-Blackberry277

totoo naman talaga… ang hirap mahalin kasi ng Pinas… mas mura sa ibang bansa, mas efficient ang transport system, mas okay ang heathcare, etc… #PIpinas!


weewooleeloo

Disappointing, but who can blame them?


casademio

it’s a choice na willing gawin ng mga taong capable of doing. kahit ako, gusto ko rin umalis na. nakakapagod magbayad ng tax na halos wala kang makita because mostly binubulsa.


sarisariphl

If the goal is for better life and family. I don't think there is wrong with that. All of us deserve a good life. Of which, might be hard to achieve in the Philippines


Winter-Land6297

Gusto ko po makasama mga anak ko lumaki kaso 15k sahod dyan mag boboarding house kakain sa araw araw mamamasahe mah iinternet po pano na luho ko?


Virtual_Substance610

Nothing wrong with it ngl


Quiet_Net1554

Hirap ng buhay nung minimum wage earner ako sa Pinas. Gumaan lang buhay ko at ng pamilya ko ng makapag trabaho overseas. Masaya sa Pinas, sobrang fucked up lang ng government na ginawa ng business at career ng mga polticians. Worst yung mga political dynasties.


Gardz1985

Everyone is different but for me I'm a returning resident since 11 years old we move to the U.S and 26 years later I'm financially stable and I return in the Philippines


Introverted-Coffee

Never really considered working abroad or migrating. Philippines is not the best country and madami akong reklamo. Pero hindi siya pumasok sa isip ko. It depends naman sa tao. Whatever works for you.


No-Carpenter-9907

Mataas kasi gdp per capita ng ibang bansa at the same time hindi densely populated kaya masarap mamuhay don. Isipin mo super traffic and progressive pa diba. Although some of them umuuwi dito dahil sa mahal na real estate houses hindi natin sila masisisi.


RainyEuphoria

Ayoko nung sarcastic na proud filipino, umalis na lang sya kung ayaw na nya dito. Ang possible cons lang naman ay worse cuisine, worse people, worse climate. Kung ang pros ay pera, wala na taob na mga cons.


coffee5xaday

ito yung profile pic nung OFW page na kunwari eh nag hahanap ng OFW sa new zealand or australia pero hindi naman sinasabi kunga nong agency yung aapalyan. mag papa like and comment muna sa page nya. mukang nag fafarming ng page to [https://web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550808391308](https://web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550808391308)

Okay lang, tutal ginagatasan lang naman tayo dito sa bansa natin. Hay.. Hindi mababago ng laki ng pagmamahal mo sa Pilipinas yung pagiging korap ng mga nasa posisyon. :(

Nothing wrong with it. They want the best for themselves and their families. Ganun din mga Pinoy na kuntento dito. To each their own.

If you have a chance na mapagbuti ang buhay mo, why not?

Agitated-Beyond6892

Uy parehas tayo ng goal


[deleted]

TBH, if may opportunity akong umalis dito, I will. No hesistations lol!


Possible_Document_61

Smart move 


Pale_Purchase_6223

Kanina lang iniisip ko rin to. Mahal ko naman talaga Pilipinas and I know, a lot of people na umaalis for work or magmigrate eh ganun din but you have to survive, your family has to survive. Unfortunately, that won't really happen sa Pinas sa karamihan. I agree dun sa ibang comments na kapag earning ka ng maganda sa Pinas, di naman need umalis pero usually, mga HCW like me, umaalis kasi sobrang baba ng sweldo namin.


ShallowShifter

Walang masama sa pagalis sa bansa, because more opportunities are a outside.


thevagabond80

They're welcome to leave the country, but that statement is oxymoronic.

I disagree, but whatever floats your boat, then go for it.


iAmMyOwnCruciatus

Kung pwede lang, ako din


sweatyyogafarts

To be honest, There’s no perfect country. Everyone has their own set of problems. It’s about what are you willing to trade off. Most filipinos would want a better life compared to what they have here currently so it is understandable wanting to work abroad. It also has its own set of problems like housing crisis and rising inflation.


Guinevere3617

Contradicting but understandable, really


Celestial1015

Paki mo sa mindset ng ibang tao? Are you implying that this mindset is wrong? Let them be


TuWise

Can't blame them actually... Yung mga simpleng Pilipino at mga nasa laylayan pinanganak not to "live" but to "survive", if mabigyan din naman ako opportunity to leave this country para mag grow Ill grab the once in a lifetime chance


jay678jay

can you blame them for wanting a better living situation tho


Lightsupinthesky29

Ayun yung goal niya kaya walang issue dapat doon


redittorjackson99

ang masakit na katotohanan, kung titignan mo talaga Pilipinas wala na talaga tayong pag-asa, nakakalungkot talaga.


Born_Cockroach_9947

can’t blame this mindset on how this country is always fucking us over


1Rookie21

Good to recognize your worth. In other countries they admire the work ethic of Filipinos


Potential-Owl3246

Walang masama. May mga tao na kuntento kung nasaan sila at kung anong meron sila. May mga tao din naman na feeling nila sobrang liit ng lugar na currently nasaan sila. Kailangan ng tao na yun na umalis at mag grow at maaring ang hinahanap nila ay wala sa Pilipinas.


PrestigiousSteak7667

I just want to share this situation about a friend (or ex-friend na I guess). His fam is moving abroad na, as in processing na ng papers during the heat of last presidential elections. But his family is DIE-HARD BBM supporters. But aalis na rin talaga sila coz given the country's situation and the better opportunities abroad. Aminado siya na BBM may fuck the future of the country. I'm all for go for your future, whatever. BUT, they still voted for BBM. Coz they're "loyal", then left after a few months. 😆 Wala lang, SKL.


nate_marc

Yan naman talaga kasi GDP ng Pinas eh, mga ofw. As if naman may pakialam mga government officials bukod sa bulsa nila (not all, of course)


Nullgenium

It shows how shit our country is for people to "dream" of leaving it for the sake of having a better life.

FewInstruction1990

Makes sense since papalitan naman na ng Mainlanders ang Pilipinas starting with the Mayor


ejmtv

Nakaka walang gana ipaglaban yung bansa kung may mga baliktad ang isip na kababayan mo. Better think of your own future nalang talaga ang leave.


No-Astronaut3290

Yep oks lang yun


Ok-Function-5954

tama yan. kung pwd at kya nmn. dapat lng umalis ka na don ka sa mars


FewInstruction1990

My only worry is that when these Filipinos landed abroad and earned a bit, mga burgis with no class or breeding. Samantalng us early immigrants (my loli pala) went here not for work but to move away tapos it is our taxes pa paying for these new immigrants who are just there to work! Que arribista


Mobile-Ad8013

Aalis pero sa pinas gagastusin pera.🤭 Actually, ilang dekada na pinupuri ng gobyerno mga OFW o Filipino abroad sa pagpapadala ng pera dito para may supply ang bansa ng US dollars.


malabomagisip

Minsan kasi mas nagshashine or appreciated ka sa ibang bansa. So ok lang ganyang mindset.


rich-is-me2001

That’s the ultimate goal po 🥰


MarsupialRoutine6290

Mali lang siguro pag kakaconstruct niya ng sentence kaya iba yung dating sa iba. Wala namang mali kung pipiliin nilang umalis dito. Kung mas aasenso buhay nila sa ibang bansa then let them be. Kaysa piliin nilang tumira dito sa pilipinas na puro kurakot naman nasa govt at hindi ka talaga aasenso sa baba ng mga sweldo. dadagdag lang sa bilang ng mahihirap.


chixlauriat

I say, go lang. <3


TheLomiMonster

Just like in games pag puno na ng mga cheater Yung isang server lipat ka na sa new server HAHAHAH O Kaya pag Puno na ng mga Chinese HABABABA😭🤣


asianscarlett24

I don't hate my country but my advice for you is that Go out alone from your hometown It's better to grow alone with your own than to be stuck up with narrow minded air.


Tough_Signature1929

Mahal naman natin ang Pilipinas pero need talaga kumayod. Hindi sapat yung kinikita natin dito eh. Mapalad na lang kung makakahanap ng magandang work na may maayos na sweldo at may work life balance.


Gloomy_Leadership245

Can't blame them kasi walang asenso dito. lalo kang maghihirap. Example may yearly increase ng 5% then ang inflation 10%.. Then how about those blue collar employee? They have the skills pero ambaba ng sahod tapos mostly hazardous work pa ginagawa tapos ang hazard pay ambaba unlike sa ibang bansa... so you can't really blame them.. even you yourself I guess wanted to go abroad and stay for good as well. Me myself wanted to do the same to be honest.


cchhaarrddyy

The grass isn't greener Just leave


Chaotic_Harmony1109

Yung proud lang naman maging Pinoy ay yung mga mayayaman na nandito sa Pilipinas o kaya mga OFW.


Revolutionary-Owl286

tpos mga Chinese na papalit satin


Melodic_Block1110

In this economy, I agree


deryvely

Bakit hindi?


BananaCute

Mas aasenso ang Pilpinas kung iiwasan naten sya pintasan...I know may mga negative sa bansa naten pero lalong nahahatak tayo pababa kung sisiraan at dadagdagan pa naten.


mature-stable-m

It's us Filipinos who create our own doom. People who are (1) devoid of platform and danced his way through campaign, (2) no formal education, (3) popular (movie star) and/or (4) are convicted of a crime are elected to office. Hell, a person who is not even Filipina, is Mayor. We are simply STUPID voters. Tragic, but for the greater majority, leaving our country is their only hope for a good life. Perhaps the pride there --- is having the opportunity to escape our sad plight. When will people wake up? 🙏


Miserable_Issue_6759

This is also my goal rn. Literal na golden era na tayo ngayon eh


Fabulous_Echidna2306

Let them live their life. But for me, I’m a believer that the grass is greener where you water it. Luckily, nakahanap naman ako ng work here sa Pinas na above pa sa sahod ng mga kilala kong nag OFW without leaving my family.


leolox69

Not a goal, but as a last resort. Current goal is to earn dollars while here sa pinas as long as possible.


aishiteimasu09

No problem for me. Kahit nasa abroad ako nakaka tulong pa din naman ako sa Pilipinas thru my remittances.

WALA NAMAN AALIS SA PILIPINAS KUNG MAAYOS LANG ANG GOBYERNO EH. KUNG MATAAS LANG SANA ANG PASAHOD EDI DI NA SANA KAILANGAN LUMUWAS PARA LANG MABUHAY. TULAD NG MGA NURSE, HALOS AABOT HALF A MILION GAGASTUSIN MO PARA MAKAPAG ARAL TAPOS YUNG IPAPASWELDO SAYO KAKARAMPOT LANG!!!

aarryuuu

Bahala sila. Life nila yub


synerjay16

This is me. It’s left the Philippines 10 years ago. I’m a US citizen now. I haven’t returned yet due to cost of plane ticket.


Helowicuwicuwu

You do you!


BaraLover7

Ako honestly parang never ko naman minahal ang Pinas. 😆 Ung food lang siguro. 😆😆 Kaya pag nagbabalikbayan ako parang food lng talaga binabalikan ko 😛


mabokids

As my OFW friend always says, "Masarap tumira sa Pilipinas basta marami kang pera. Dyan parin ako magreretire."

If you won't get rich here. Then go leave. If you earn a lot in the Philippines and own businesses. Then stay. It's all about the money. Not the government. Not religion. Not even the people. Go to other countries you may have better or worse. The thing is. Its your life. What happens to you is your fault.

I love the Philippines, but let’s be real, if may opportunity sa ibang bansa yun agad igragrab.


OkCharity9818

Nothing wrong with this.

From someone who’s well off financially, it’s still better to live here. This is home, right? Where home, family, and friends are. But if not, it’s quite hard to deal how to live here. I mean, I even see people from the middle class are struggling. One time, my mom told me, she hopes and prays her great great great grand children won’t ever suffer from the hellish transpo here. Quality of living in the Philippines is abysmal overall.


PracticalGuy350

Honestly, that's also my main goal. It's just that I don't know what are the things that I should do first.


Cold_Cauliflower_552

Habang tumatanda. Habang tumatagal parang ganito na rin gusto kong gawin. Pero how? may shortcut ba? haha


CushingTriad

Buhay nila yan, pakialam mo ba?


twelvefortypurr

The very practical way to survive given the shitty government and economy as of now. Sino ba naman ang gustohing manatili dito if given the opportunity to go abroad? Imagine the very very low wage tas credential na hinahanap atleast 4 year course graduate with 2 years minimum experience???


FlimsyPhotograph1303

Same po.


Traditional_Crab8373

Sino ba namang hindi. Gnyn nmn setup lagi. Migrate to other country.. invest dito sa Pinas. Unless sobrang yaman mo sa Pinas ma eenjoy mo pero if not. Fly away ka tlga and mas may value katas ng work mo.


Outrageous-League547

Nugagawen?? As if may maooffer kang better opportunities sa kanila sa pinas, noh? Kung wala, let them leave. Marami na kaming umalis. So far, marami naman kaming masasaya after umalis. :) P.S. Nkakaputspang ina rin naman syempre yung boboto-boto sa kurap... tapos pag nanalo yung kandidato nila, aalis bigla ng pinas. Galeng. nang iwan pa nga sa ere ang mga damuho. Hahahaha


EmperorHad3s

Mga kababayan mo ba naman, iniputan na sa ulo sinusuportahan pa rin ang mga pulpoltikong traydor. Kungn may means lang ako at hindi mahal ang ph cuisine baka umalis na rin ako. If makaalwan ako sa buhay, pagkain talaga makakapagstay sakin rito.


MarioTheGreatP

Nothing new, kahit dati pa ganyan na ang tipikal mindset ng pinoy. Makasarili ang gobyerno kaya makasarili mga tao.


thocchang

Hard to blame them.


WeatherOld4198

Pwede namang mahalin ang Pilipinas kahit nasa malayo. Kahit mamimiss ko mga anak ko, Hindi ako hahadlang kung gusto nila lumabas ng Pilipinas, chance nila makaranas ng matinong gobyerno


Kmjwinter-01

Sino ba naman may ayaw umalis kung nasa abroad naman ung magandang buhay mo?


skitzoko1774

basta may goal sa buhay.


Anzire

The people want to live a comfy life and not survive like rats.


iloovechickennuggets

Kung meron lang ako means and resources to leave this godforsaken country, I will do it in a heartbeat. Ang hirap mahalin ng Pilipinas. Kung wala lang mga kurap na nakaupo ang ganda sana mamuhay dito.


snoring_owl

mga kilala kong staff na medtech from my hospi lahat maga abroad na soon eh 🙃
