Thinking of migrating? or already a migrant?

[mrpink]

i've worked in the US and Asia on short and long term assignments and had the opportunity to migrate but decided it wasn't for me .. my wife also had the same opportunities but decided it wasn't for her as well .. it was good that we were able to try it out so we know what could've been .. and i'm glad we both decided to stay in the philippines .. i think it was the right choice for the both of us .. hindi kami mayaman .. pero hindi naman kami nagugutom .. definitely mas maraming pera if we live and work sa ibang bansa .. here, i'm saddled with a 10 yr mortgage .. rising costs of living .. unsure future for my kid .. pero nung nasa ibang bansa ako .. feeling ko i'm just part of the rat race .. dito .. i may not be richer pero i feel happier ... and at the end of the day .. isn't that what we want to acheive .. so for those leaving .. good luck to you .. for those staying .. safe driving ..

i have moved to the states for the medium term. so far it has been okay. my family is joining me in 2 months. i will stay here until i have enough cash to move back to the Philippines and start a medium scale business without having to borrow over 30% from the bank. plus if i stay here for more than 5 years, i can pass my US citizenship to my kids. an important safety net for my kids, i believe.

madami nagsasabi na maunti opportunities dito sa pinas kaya gusto nila mag migrate. siguro depende din yan sa carreer ng tao. sa research kasi (natural or social science), madami pa opportunity considering na developing country pa tayo. kaso ang problema, funds for research is usually from loans (ADB and WB) so mejo contributory sa utang ng pinas.

ordinary (rack & file) employee lang kami ng asawa ko dito.
sanay na kami sa hirap ng buhay dito, kaya susubukan namin ang chances namin sa ibang bansa (like the canada).
gusto lang namin ng asawa ko na mabigyan ng magandang buhay ang mga anak namin na hindi na naming kailangan alalahanin ang siguridad at education nila.
we still have our sense of nationalistic and patriotism. we still love the philippines. kaya babalik kami dito kapag naka establish na kami.

tingin ko ito talaga ang main reason bakit may mga nag mimigrate na mga couples (or even the other half) ay ang future ng mga anak nila
ganyan din kasi reason ng nakilala ko na engineer, wala daw kasiguraduhan dito ngayon sa pinas ,
baka bigla magsara ang company na pinapasukan nila,paano kung matanda na sila at wala na mag hire ,gusto lang nila samantalahin habang malakas pa sila ,at pag naka establish(like mz_danni said) na sila balik na sa Lupang pinanggalingan ,mahirap yata pag oldies ka na sa abroad,di gaya dito dami pwede mag asikaso or umalalay
