Given the current affairs of our country, would you be willing to stay here or

being away from my loved ones is one thing i can never do. i even find it hard spending overnight in some of my classmates' houses just to be able to finish school work. the very one thing my father keeps on telling me is to help my country. but it doesnt mean that i have to stay here all my life. but my very last option would be going abroad to earn money. given the enough knowledge, i think we really need to work and fight for what is right. what we lack is the will to do it. but if you truly love your country, they surely you will be motivated enough to contribute something for your country.

If i have a nice paying job in our country and it will be enough for my living thus can save money i will probably stay, but unfortunately i can't find any. The salary is not enough for a quality of living i am looking for. You have to budgeted it wisely, more often i experience tight budget on some basic necessity. So, for this reason i suffer being far from my family. If i got a chance of migrating with my family abroad i will give a possitive consideration.

Given the right amount of resources and opportunity abroad I would choose working abraod than here. I also am dreaming getting my family out of here. But i would just like to make it clear that I still love my country very much. It just so happen that our government seems to be going nowhere right now. Opposition is just looking for opportunities to grab power. Administration on the other hand, is going nowhere because they are thinking only of staying in power. You really have no choice who's side will you take.

I will be willing to stay here provided my salary will improve. However, it will also be great if we can work abroad to experience life outside of our safe zone...for me its a 50/50 chances depending in various factor :)

the monetary rewards of working abroad is very enticing... very tempting... personally, i would be willing to work abroad especially if it means that i could provide for my family's needs. let's face it, unemployment and underemployment are two of the problems that we have in the philippines. because of these, more and more filipinos go abroad to seek for greener pastures. being away from the people you love and care for the most will make it difficult especially for the first 6 months. but with all the available means of communication, i think those who go abroad wouldn't miss their love ones that much. sometimes, we really just have to make some sacrifices for our own good... =)

all my brothers are seafarers and they earn dollars but what we received is philippine money. now, i can say that there is really a big difference when you are working abroad. unlike before, when only 1 of my brother is working as seaman, we were really experincing a lot of difficulties, especially financial needs. Those resulted to many problems like, big debts, sometimes, we only eat 2x a day, its like we do a big deal of saving. given also that i was studying college that time. For me, i would sacrifice my loneliness just to provide my family better living, because i experienced it and its not very easy. i would sacfrice myself and not my family members' better living, if given the oppurtunity.

i would love to find money abroad.. but being away from my family keeps me from doing so. i think i will not be able to carry on weeks or months away from them. im lucky i have agood work here and i think i will just work harder here.

Yes, go abroad and try my best luck. I can still help my country prosper in my own little ways. There are lots of opportunites outside than here. Homesick is not an excused when you try. Be strong with that. Overcome and face it.
