Would you like to leave the country and live somewhere else?

Considering the present condition in the Philippines: If you are given the means and the opportunity to bring your family with you and live and earn somewhere else, would you leave your country? Or would you rather take the optimist's stand and opt not to leave with the hope that life in the Philippines will still get better?

Yap I will leave abroad and bring my family if given the chance. But it doesn't mean that I will leave forever coz I still love to stay in my beloved hometown. As what the saying goes "Mas masarap pa rin ang sariling atin...."

Given the circumstances, I might as well leave my country not because I like it but because I am given the opportunity of a better life somewhere else. I believe that my loyalty and patriotism would be tarnished if I do that. No matter where I am in the world I am proud to be a Filipino and if ever I am given the chance to be an OFW I would do that because I love myself and my country. I will be definitely sending some help to my family and indirectly to our country too. Leaving the country wouldn't make me lesser Filipino than just staying in here with no hopes of improving oneself.

There are instances due to frustrations in our government and too much politics, I think of leaving. But we always hear people who have worked there advising us to stay home because there is always no place like home .

Well it really depends upon the situation if I knew it that I can't earn here well it is time for me to find another job in another country wherein I have to earn salary of course as part of practicality in my family. But still I won't lose hope to establish my career as Events organizer of our own establishment of the company that we are doing right now.
