GMA Wants RP to End Dependence on OFWs

[torque2006]

hmmm.

service based economy tayo eh, we need rapid industrialization para maging manufacturing hub tayo, which is kinda hard to achieve with the state of government we have, plus next door "big brother" China's all over the place.

if ever this happens, don't expect it overnight. even if you put the best and the brightest on top of the government, no one is a miracle worker.

our situation now was brought about by decades of corruption that started way back when the americans left us.

don't blame everything on GMA.

HAYYYY NAKU..paanong mangyayari yan eh...Colgate Philippines nga baka magsara itong taon na ito...imbis na dumami ang trabaho..maraming mawawalan pa...buhay pinoy talaga...kawawa

i think what gma was referring to are the lowly paid OFWs. those who are working as domestic helpers, manual laborers in construction, farm workers in malaysia, etc., who are basically overseas only because they can not find a job in the philippines. a farm worker in malaysia does not earn more than the average worker in manila, but they go there because they have nothing else. if those ofws can be given decent paying jobs in factories and construction (assuming prospective employers will not cheat them by paying below the minimum wage) then i am sure a lot of them will be very willing to work in the philippines and be with their families.

but as you guys say, inshallah!

same here..but the next question will be, will they receive the same salary when employed in the phils?buwaya mga employer sa pinas.
