the exile of health professionals is really very alarming. i do hope that you find a very financially rewarding career so you wouldn’t have to leave the country.

at least you do recognize that you are more needed here. that’s a lot to say for someone who’s facing a lot of pressure (professional and financial) as a nurse to leave the country. looking for another way to make moolah first before giving up is truly a noble way to solve the problem of eing broke. here.

Go for it, kiddo. You’ll earn more than just money from being a real estate agent. I’d do that myself if I’m not stuck in front of the computer all the time. heheh

gacdelacruz: thanks… I appreciate it a lot!

Liz: Damn I’m broke but I love my country… I don’t want to leave my country suffering (awww… I’m so NOBLE!)

John: haha! thanks JOHN!

hi janus,

when i was at your age, ganun din ang thinking ko, most of my friends went abroad e.g.singapore, saudi, japan, canada, oz, US etc…

sabi ko noon, employed naman ako sa isang malaki at matatag na kumpanya sa atin, and i could support my family naman, so di ko siniseryoso talaga na lumabas. and besides, the idea of leaving my family is not that easy, kasi nung time na yun i experienced na to be out for 2 months at malungkot.

pero nung dumating ang time na lumaki na ang financial reqts. ng family ko, school, food, house etc. e napilitan akong mag retire and look for greener pasture outside.

i am not selling out the philippines naman, in fact i usually invite my foreigner friends to visit our country. the reality is that even when we’re outside the country, we are sending back money naman to help fuel the economy. and parehas lang din naman ang gagawin mo pag nasa labas ka, trabaho trabaho lang.

kaya para sa akin, it’s not brain drain, nut brain gain for the next generation, kasi nga, pag nagsawa ako sa trabahong ito e magtuturo na lang ako sa alma mater ko, kung tatanggapin nila ako.

regards

Yeah! Kaya nga llumalakas ang piso ngaun eh because of dollars!!! I’m planning to go out of the country next year… brain gain? haha! ok2… hehehe… Sana nga brain gain…

when you spoke with the indians and chinese, ganoon din ang nangyari sa kanila, then they returned to their motherland and started doing business. kaya ngayon yumayaman na sila, lalo itong china. super yaman na ang government.

don’t you worry, our small help to our country will not be wasted, hayaan mo lang yang mga pulitiko na yan. basta tayo, laging wag kakalimutang lumingon sa pinanggalingan.

true! hehe… pero it seems that wala pa ring patutunguhan ang mga sakripisyo ng mga pinoy kasi naman sobrang tagal na ng mga OFw sa labas pero di parin yumayaman ang ating government… tsk tsk tsk….

Lots of good reading here, thank you! I had been seeking on yahoo when I observed your article, I’m going to add your feed to Google Reader, I look forward to far more from you.
