Why do economic maladies happen in our country?

Tweet

Filipinos today cited numerous roots of economic maladies in the Philippines. One of which is the failure of economic governance. They also often blame the economic crisis to unemployment and low wages. That’s why most Filipinos often resort to going abroad. The unique skills and characteristics of Filipino workers now worked as advantages in serving other citizens. OFWs themselves have much to gain from working abroad aside from the obvious increase in income. They are exposed to more opportunities for advancement, experience enrichment, skills development, and technological know-how. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the OFW phenomenon has left negative imprints on Filipino society. The strain on families and the weakening of Filipino values are only a few of many problems arising from a redefinition of social relationships brought about by overseas employment. What may be a blessing is also proving to be a curse.
