Do you believe that there is Brain Drain in the Philippines?

That's a huge cause for our country to sluggishly recover from so many problems. We lack Filipinos who would nurture and be loyal to his/her nationality and we lack effort in saving our own country. It becomes more attractive to go to the US or a developed country to find better opportunities. It's hard to blame them. If we could see their lives improving in another place, we can't force them to live in an ill-gotten province or city in this country.

That's easier said than done. There are many factors that could really drain our intellectuals. First the opportunities in here is so small that only a percentage could be acommodated at a certain point in time. The result is others will have to look outside than stay inside jobless. Then we have a very unstable political structure that also affects our economy and eventually employers suffers greatly because of these they have lesser income to pay for more employees than that they have. Its a vicious cycle that goes on and on. And the solution to it seems far from reality.

The fact that our country is still in the process of development only justify their reasons to go abroad.

Brain drain it is! It's a sad fact that our professionals leave the country. I, myself, would choose that option if it meant better oppurtunities for my family.
