Do YOu Think It's Still OK to Stay in the Philippines?

Living in another country as a means of escape from whatever issues you might have had in your own country is your choice, and I fully respect that. However, what will become of our country if every Filipino thinks that way? As I have mentioned in my previous post (in a relevant thread), you will never have the privilege of being a "first class" citizen in a foreign country, no matter how "successful" (career-wise) you might become.

I guess I'm lacking in the geography department. Is the Philippines part of Honduras or something? I confess I haven't heard any bad news about the Philippines although I read the news and watch it every day.

I still have my hopes up. I love the Philippines and for me it's the best country in the world. It's just some of the people living in it that smears the country's name. Fortunately, we have other Filipinos who's slowly pulling up our nation's pride. I just hope these people who pulls our country down would realize the shame they're bringing to our country.

I have no problem living or staying in the Philippines. By five years time, my family will migrating back in Philippines as long as you have sufficient money,good business and stable job, you will be ok. Cheers.

yes, there is no place like home. i was born and raised here and i will always be hre no matter what. my families and friends are all here..no matter how much people criticize our country, it still have qualities that i love plus i know every crook and cranny here in our place! lol

It's very much, fascinating OK. The Philippines is a very good country. The country may have problems, but which country does not have? We are even blessed of not having a winter season, since having that season causes a lot of problems - Crop Problems, Transportation, and Health due to winter blues. We may not be a super power country or a regional economic leader, but that fact simply means that the country has less stress to think about. The country may not have as much Skyscrapers as in Hong kong or Chicago, but that fact alone tells us that who needs skyscrapers anyway? We have lands, and many other resources. Our science may not be as progressive as in other countries, but that fact alone tells us that we are able to maintain our philosophical ideologies and does not cross the boundaries of "playing God". There are so many things to be thankful for in this country, that is why I love to stay here.

To be honest, even if i am back in the philippines, I still do misses UK. Everything is possible in the UK as long as I work while studying. Here, its impossible to have as no available jobs for me as a student. Although despite of these thinking, I still want to stay here because here, is where Happiness can be found (with the family), and UK is where pleasure and wealth..

yes of course there is no country as beautiful as the Philippines . No offense to other people who are not in the Philippines but i am not being nationalistic or anything i just love it here i guess

Yes, I am still happy and contented with my life here in the Philippines. I also believe that if you cannot be successful here in the Philippines, you can never be successful even if you go to other places. I have known a few people who migrated in the other country and honestly, they still have that same standard of living. Even if they earn big, their standard of living also increases. Happy myloting and goddluck on your visa.

I love staying here in the Philippines.I am still planning to move to another country,though.I feel that opportunities for financial growth is limited here.I need money to help my family,save for my future plans,and buy treats for myself.I have to be practical,else I'll be a nobody.

yes..of course It's really ok.to stay in the phillip[ines..because in phillipines their you can see all the beautiful nature.and etc..

of course! is there any wrong to our country? for me, i rather die in the place where i was born, than to leave it in times of crisis. our heroes fight for the freedom of this country so that we can live free. that's why we should be more positive to live in our country.

yah, for me much better to stay here in the phillipines, than other country.our country has a perfect climate,full of beautiful places,peacefull country and we filipinos are freindly.thats why it is very nice to stay here.

Yes i'm verry comfortable her,beacause this is my country and I love philippines.And I still believe that it's nice to stay her.Because philippines is fall of beauty,even if i have chance to viset/work to other country,I cant stay longer.I'll be back to philippines because i love my country,and i'm proud as a pilipino.

Yes its still very safe to stay in our country. But we are also planning to migrate .

yes...for me that's not make me realize to left my own country...PHILIPPINES is land of happy people and land of courage....so y should we left this country....

I still prefer to stay here in the Philippines. In fact, it's never an option for me to stay away from it amidst all the temptations from my friends who can support me when I will work outside the country. I simply love CEBU and the Philippines in its entirety.

yes philippines is a facefull country im a pilipina im proud to be a pilipna im lucky to stay here in my provine i hope many people like in the philippine especiallythe country to plan to come and to stay here our country.

i think it is still ok to stay here in our country. but don't expect that our government will help you when you need something since the people running it are so busy enough to make them richer and traveling outside the country. if you don't look for a brighter future and no one is depending on you , you can stay here in our country since this country is also moving forward but very slow.

yes it is still ok to live in the philippines 'cuz there are many beautiful things here even though the philippines has a corrupt government it's still ok to live in it. =)))
