Why Philippines is not like Sri Lanka?

Philippines
July 3, 2022 6:22pm CST
The reason our country is far from being like Sri Lanka situation is because we have a lot of OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers) working abroad. So whenever the local economy is not doing well. We have millions of Filipinos sending money back home and the Filipino workers are spread all over the globe. This is like the safety net that helps our economy from being bankrupt. Now you might ask, why Filipinos are the most chosen workers around the globe? Because the average filipinos knows how to speak English well. Now you have questions or comments? Post below lol

Filipinos are hardworking that's why they are seen in every country. Usually, we don't see Filipinos here, maybe we get cheap labor here itself in India and Indians are hardworking too.

I agree. Most Filipinos are family oriented and they love to help their family.

It is wonderful to know well snother language. But I´m sure that Filipinos are also chosen workers because they work well.

often honest and that's because the majority of Filipinos are Christian and afraid of JESUS. LOL

That's sad that so many must work abroad, but it's good they can find jobs.

They can work here in the Philippines. But the reason they chose to work abroad is because of the salary abroad is 3 times or 5 times higher, Compare that if you work only here in the Philippines.

Sri Lanka is much smaller than the Philippines and has a much smaller population.
