[jeffrocks]

Bro, ang layo kasi ng sagot mo. Ang thread:OFW: Maunlad ba ang pamumuhay nyo ngayon o nooong panahon ni Erap.

It's between ngayon at panahon ni Erap. Bakit napasama si Humabon?

OT;meron din kasing mga sagot sa thread na hindi naman naka tuon talaga sa question...kaya nga nilagyan ko ng smiley,punchline ba...

ako noon panahon ni erap lakas kumita 10k-12k a day sa business ko pero ngaun half na lang nun. gross pa yun.

pero hindi ako nagrereklamo kasi mas gugustuhin ko na mga policies ngaun kaysa noon na parang isinusugal na ni Erap lahat. pati SSS saka GSIS money gusto nya itaya sa Casino sa Macao ni Stanley King

Yung ang problema kasi di maintindihan ng karamihan bakit tumaas lang bilihin natin lalo na sa palengke at lalo na yung Gasolina. Dati kasi tibatiba yung OFW hirap naman yung masa sa Pinas . Pero ngayon Halos lahat na tao Hirap na at laking kawalan yung pagbaba ng Dollar. Pabor sa sa mga Importer kasi pagdating sa atin sila Tiba ng husto lalo na siguro mga Smugler

Walang kinalaman si GMA sa pagbagsak ng dollar. The greenback is fundamentally weak. Why? Maraming utang, print lang ng print ng pera hindi naka peg sa gold, marami ng utang binabaan pa ang interest ng Feds. Magpapatuloy ito hanggang sa hehehe hindi ko alam. Ang reserba po ng BSP ay nasa $20B lamang kaya mali din isipin na ang Php natin ay malakas actually mahina ito. Hehehe. "Lumakas" lang yan dahil sa ang dollar talaga ay mahina. Walang kinalaman dyan si GMA at hindi ganun ka significant ang OFW $ inflows natin sa paglakas ng piso. Actually para sa kanila somehow may positive effect ito. Noong bumagsak ang value ng $, people tend to buy US products dahil sa superior service and quality and at the same time mas cheap sya ngayon. Besides that, sila na ngayon ang World's Most Competitive Economy.

I agree, humina talaga ang dollar. but i don't agree na hindi significant ang pinapadala ng mga ofw. how can you justify the amount of dollars they sent every year? (14 billion dollars if am correct at the present). How about the buying power of each family increased due to the money sent by their relatives abroad? If you remove the OFW in the equation, that would be a big loss to the Philippine economy. Consider that 1 out 10 household got a relative abroad. Imagine their contribution to the country's dollar reserve.

On the other hand, dahil mahina ang dollar, mas kokonti ang value na nakukuha ng OFW considering tumataas ang bilihin and they receive the same salary in dollars.

ke panahon pa ni magsaysay, panahon ni marcos, ni cory, ni erap at kung sino pang magiging presidente ng pilipinas, dapat ba nating ikumpara kung anong lebel ng kabuhayan meron tayo?

sa ganang akin, kahit sino pang nakaupong kawatan/presidente, basta ba ang aking karapatan magtrabaho/kumita/umasenso ay inde nayuyurakan ay ayos lang...

meron akong mga kakilala na nangangarap na sana gaya ng panahon ni marcos dahil tahimik, paano inde tahimik e lahat ng magsalita laban sa gobyerno e nawawala..

let's face it, what ever we are today and what we will be in the future will be our own doing...

ito po ay sa ganang akin lang...

Ok let say the peso will go back to 20=1. 500 dollars would be 10 thou only. for sure OFW's will go home, because it is not worth anymore to work abroad. Can our government give 80% of 8 million OFW's a job? I don't think so.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sir I totally agree with you. We will find ourselves altogether jobless if that happens. Why?
1. OFW will ask for higher salary to compensate for the rising prices. No foreign companies will hire Filipino because "we are expensive". The most affected would be seaman, offshore workers and engineers. God, the chinese will take over our jobs.
2. No point to go abroad. The sacrifice is not worth to what you will earn. Baka mas mataas pa ang kikitain ng jeepney driver.
3. Lastly, if that happens, can we find work here in our country? I dont think so. It is because the government cannot provide the job specific to the skills of each OFW. Consider the thousands of oil rig workers,seamans and engineers working abroad.

I appreciate all your inputs here. I am just a little bit concerned with other OFW'S who earn below 500 dollars a month, with all the sacrifices that they are undertaking and to give a decent living for their families. They are deprived again as the peso gains against dollar. You might as well know that an average income to have a deccent family in our country must be atleast 25 thou a month depending on how many children that they have.

Let's say a year ago when the peso was still more than 50 a dollar, 500 dollars would be 25 thou pesos then. So a lot of Pilipino took this opportunities. They went abroad and grabbed the opportunity to have a good house that hey can afford. How can this OFW's who earned 500 dollars below pay their monthly amortization's when their hard earned money went down. How could they put up a good business? They could hardly squeeze their budget. Lets just give a break for these new OFW'S to taste their hard earn money.

Ok let say the peso will go back to 20=1. 500 dollars would be 10 thou only. for sure OFW's will go home, because it is not worth anymore to work abroad. Can our government give 80% of 8 million OFW's a job? I don't think so.

I am not crying with this politician and our present government. I am just knocking and give them a wake up call that they have an obligations with these people whom the call a modern hero that helps the country afloat. Or atleast show us lift eh living conditions of middle class family, who are paying taxes for their salary.

Do you think our country is prospering now a days? Its getting worst, we are almost like Nigeria. We are in top 10 most corrupt country and No. 1 in Asia. And to top it all, our president right now is the no. 1 corrupt president amongst Pres. Marcos, Pres. Ramos, Pres. Estrada and Pres. Aquino. I hope this is only a hearsay but we are almost there.

Yes, you are all right. We OFW's are the ones affected by the appreciation of peso against the dollar. Not only us, but mostly the poor Filipinos. Only the businessmen, politicians and the very rich are gaining from the weakening of dollars.

In other countries the price of gasoline is more expensive but their country is stable. WHY??? For sure because their government is taking care of them. I am not saying that malaysia is not corrupt but I've seen how Malaysia developed.

Let us push these politicians to do their part and take this opportunity that we OFW's are suffering.

a bit concerned about other ofws? why dont you just let them think for themselves.. if their income is not enough due to this continuing dollar slide, maybe they should rethink their strategy in life...

i'm an ofw, i should know what is good for me so please stop patronizing with your " I am just a little bit concerned with other OFW'S who earn below 500 dollars a month, with all the sacrifices that they are undertaking and to give a decent living for their families."

and please stop all these "nakakaawa naman ang mga ofw kasi bagsak ang dolyar"...selfpity will get you nowhere...if you think you need to do something then do something about it...
