Due to the worsening economic condition now here in my country, most of the people are thinking of migrating to other countries either to work or to live there for good. I have tried working in another country before. Given the chance, i would do it again in order to help my family. But definitely, i won't stay there for good. I will come back here again as there is no place like home. What about you?

honestly, i promised myself not to go to any country and stay in the philippines for the rest of my life due to love and pride for my country. but, now, i'm really having second thought due to factors you've mentioned. well, given a chance? yes, i will. and like you, definitely go back to the place every filipino calls home.

If given a chance, I will migrate to a better country. But I will set very tight requirement for my destination country, because my current country is not bad. But is still not the best. I long to go for a country where there is no race discriminations, no corruptions, no civil war, no natural disasters, no pollutions and having abundance of working opportunities. I doubt very few countries in this world fulfill such criteria.

i did that 4 times already. i am a single mom of four children and me and my children left my husband. working here at the phillipines will not give me enough to feed them, send them to school and give shelter. but i wont stay in any of those country.

Yes, I would. The economy is really bad in the US, and I'd love to leave. I probably would come back if things improved here.
