OFW Dollar Contributor in the Philippines

That is why there are also many displaced families around. Family is supposed to stick around but because jobs cannot be found easily in our country one or both parents would resort to working abroad to provide for their children's future and most of the times they would tend to immigrate because life is just much better abroad than here. So what happens is that our country suffers the brain drain which at some point becomes bad for us. With job opportunities local I guess it is the call centers that are booming right now since the pay they give is pretty much higher than the regular day jobs. The only catch there is, is that you have to work on unholy hours of the day. Night Shift is what most this Outsourcing companies offer. But, in terms of pay and benefits they are good. For most younger generations they could afford to do this since they don't have families to tend to but for many families who are into this it is doubly hard since you are not around with your family in many times that you are needed.

I think the OFW also prefer to work outside the country because they offer them better pay. Anyway, I am with you when you say what the government should do. Let us just keep our fingers cross.

That is true. We know that OFWs provide the largest source of dollar for the Philippines, I think it's also one of the reasons why our GDP is increasing. However, the government should not continue this. Because we are losing all our people. All of them are out abroad finding jobs and leaving their current jobs here in the Philippines. As a result, we have less doctors, educators and etc. This practically means that younger kids won't have sufficient learning because our best teachers and other jobs are not here in the country. I think the government must do something in order for these people to stay in the country so that we will have development
