marami siguro magsasabi, 0o nmn gusto ko na, pero....

kung anuman ang kasunod na pero na yan, karamihan is about sa trabaho or pagkakakitaan, tama?

anuman ang kinikita mo, ngayon, USD, real, dinar, ZAR,
may isang opportunity na pag ginawa mo jan ngayon, pag-uwi mo ng pinas kikitain mo pa rin.
halimbawa USD kinikita mo ngayon, pag ginawa mo tong opportunity,
pag uwi mo ng pinas may USD ka pa rin kahit hindi ka na bumalik dyan.

kung meron ganyan, iggrab mo ba?

no place like home, yan ang sabi sakin ng isang Nigerian nung nagkita kami sa South africa, totoo nga nmn.

^^^ but more importantly,
there are other places that are a lot better than home
as evidenced by millions of immigrants all over the world

FYI, there are millions of OFW's not because there are better places than home, but because THEY DON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE HOME. Since there are fewer oppurtunities here.

Given a chance, we WOULD stay in the Philippines, to be close to friends and family, and to MAKE OUR COUNTRY STRONG AGAIN.

Other places better than home? Honestly, there will be no other place that will FEEL like home cuz everywhere else, you're just a second class citizen. Those whites or natives of whatever other country you go to may be cordial in front of you, but in the back of their minds, they consider you a threat to their livelihood. Someone who takes away oppurtunity from them or their children.

Just think of how you feel when you see Mainland Chinese or Indians here in the phil, how their being unaccepted make them excel in business...and secretly you'd hope they'd go home to their homeland so there will be more oppurtunity for you or your friends and family.

Pinoys leave because they need to support their families, or they think oppurtunities are better abroad. They choose to take the pain of separation and the risk of failure in a remote land cuz they have no choice. But to say that there is a place better than home? I beg to disagree...

Yup...and I did it already. There is no place like home....unless you don't have one.

But the topic is 'gusto mo na bang umuwi sa pinas?', meaning OFW's, right?

pulubing_palaboy · « **Reply #7 on:** Mar 16, 2011, 11:51 AM »

^^^ perhaps; but even so, my post was about the "there's no place like home" remark
notice also that i did not single out any immigrant group from any particular country

Chill, richpulubi. He was just saying that in response to what the thread starter said about going back to the Philippines if given the chance to earn the same amount of money you are earning abroad.

He's not really _just_ saying that are places better than the Philippines; he's saying that earning power shouldn't be the only thing you consider when deciding to go back home or not. There are plenty of other things to consider - like maybe the health care is cheaper in another country, or the education is free, or the person you want to live the rest of your life with is there. Yes there is no place like home but there are lots of people from all over the world who get up and leave because of reasons they think is valid.

actually not all (100%) OFW's want to go home in the Phils. There really are few people who want to make other nations (i.e Canada, US, Europe) their home.

Some OFW/immigrants define other countries where they are right now as their "home", and they "tourist" only in the Phils.

But i'm quite sure less than 1 out of 10 Filipino wants to go home in the Phils including me...

I think marami rin ang sasagot ng YES sa tanong na yan, pero sigurado rin na may dugtong sa dulo ang sagot... Like "Oo gusto ko nang umuwi ng Pinas... kaso hindi pa pwede...Bilang isa ring OFW marami narin akong nakasalamuha na kapwa OFWs at iba-iba ang maririnig mong kuwento... Merong gusto nang umuwi pero hindi magawang umuwi dahil kawawa ang pamilya.. Kadalasan ganito ang maririnig mo, lalo na ung medyo nahihirapan sa trabaho at maliit ang sweldo.. pero meron din mga enjoy sa trabaho at sweldo at mas pipiliin paring manatili...

In my case, mas pipiliin ko parin kung anong meron ako ngayon...And lucky enough na masasabi kong "This is a Choice not an Option"...Sorry to disagree sa naunang post about having no choice.. Dahil ang sabi nga "We may not have an option, but we always have a choice"... Bago maging OFW nagtrabaho din ako ng mahigit 4 na taon jan sa Pinas... sa 4 na taon, meron magagandang nangyari at meron ding hindi-maganda.. Isa sa magagandang bagay eh syempre ung mga activities at social life jan sa Pinas. Ska syempre iba ung puro Pinoy kayo sa trabaho... Isa sa pinakapangit na bagay na na-experience ko sa Pinas eh pulitika kahit sa opisina meron

Yung tipong nauuna pang mapromote sayo ung mga sarap-buhay na tinatawag...

After almost 3 years na paging OFW masasabi kong naging tama ung desisyon ko.. Hindi lang dahil sa sweldo na mas malaki (almost x4 ng sweldo ko dati sa Pinas)... kundi mas marami akong na-explore at natutunan.. Hindi lang sa career kundi pati sa buhay as general ... Mas nagiging mature ka talaga kapag naging isa kang OFW... Just my own opinion ...

richpulubi · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 16, 2011, 01:59 PM »

Perhaps I spoke too strongly. But I do love the Philippines, no matter how imperfect it is, and how difficult life is here. Probably because I fought for its freedom in my younger years against Marcos.

Kung sa pera lang, I make money here in the Phil. Umalis din ako pero bumalik ako...even if it is harder here.

Of course, there are many advantages to being in a first world country. But if we all deserted our own country, what will happen to it?

And so, I choose to stay.

ako mas gusto ko parin umuwi sa pinas, totoong theres no place like home, basi sa unang statement nang naunang post , oo i-grab ko kung meron man makapag bibigay nang sahod
na kasing laki nang sahod ko dito, iba pa rin talaga kung nasa sariling bayan ka nag serbisyo
plus nakikita mo pamilya mo araw-araw.

Dodong_Pobre · « **Reply #13 on:** Mar 16, 2011, 02:37 PM »

I agree with those saying that "There's no other place like home" kaya marami parin ang naghahanap ng Pinas kahit gaano katagal nang lumayo.. with my statement in previous post...I mean it as a choice for Now in response to the title of the thread... Syempre uuwi't-uuwi parin ako sa aking lupang sinilangan, pagdating ng panahon..

And I think wrong timing rin mag settle sa ngayon considering ung mga sunod-sunod na nangyayari which caused many OFWs from countries like Libya,Egypt,Bahrain,Japan...na umuwi ng Pinas

Why would anybody wanna do that? I can only think of a few things..
They have problems in PI and want to escape it.
They have problems in PI and the only way to solve it is to work abroad?
Or they cannot compete or achieve their goals in the PI..kaya they just wanna work abroad where they can be competitive.
