You just have to enjoy it while it last. I'm speaking from experience used to be one as well. During my time overseas, i hated Erap being president but he gave me the highest exchanged rate for my $ at P56 to $1.

Saka bakit ka pa sisingilin ng Philippine Government ng tax e hindi mo naman nagagamit ung facilities (road, etc.) sa Philippines para kumita ka ng pera.

Sa mga OFW meron pong absentee voting, kaya makakaboto pa din kayo.

would like to correct this..

as per Tax Code of the Philippines... every resident citizen is taxed for ALL his income... whether derived from local or overseas... for non resident citizen (which OFW count as).. ganoon din... covered din.. citizen kasi..

now.. for those countries na may tax treaty ang Philippines.. then the principle of double taxation will apply.. meaning the OFW will only pay the taxes as if nasa Pilipinas sya (at least that is the ideal).. then the employer is the one to handle the in between (sa pagkaka intindi ko)...

in practice.. i don't think this is being done.. sa side ng OFW.... i don't think the employers handle tax matters... whether may tax treaty ang Philippines o wala... sa OFW mismo.. OFW na mismo makakasagot kung mismo sya nagbabayad at nag fifile ng ITR...

so.. technically... voter ang OFW.. kaya nga may overseas absentee voting program ang comelec....

now.. will the BIR file an assessment for an OFW? I don't think so... bayani binansagan tapos hinahabol ng BIR.. and.. in this admin na masyado sensitive (at shall I say, magaling mag manipulate ng media)... the BIR running after an OFW wouldn't make good news for sure...

Siguro sa national level maganda to. Paano na lang sa mga liblib na lugar na baka isa lang pala o dalawa ang taxpayers? Hindi ako sure kung merong ganito. Pero kung meron, aba sila lang ang makakadikta kung sino ang mauupong brgy. captain and mayor. :D

Bro, ofw's are tax exempt if income are derived outside the country. Meron issued regulations from BIR if I remember correctly. Panahon yata ni tabako nung inilabas ito. Was religiously filing my ITR prior to this directive.

Ang mga OFW naman nagbabayad yan ng Pag-Ibig (compulsary). Saka yung tax free condition is insentive. Iba naman siguro yung hindi nagbabayad at yung tax free. Pero pag umuwi na sa Pinas at walang trabaho during the election period, baka hindi na sya qualified.

Yun namang nasa liblib basta may kahit kaunting lupain na sinasaka, nagbabayad ng buwis ang mga yan. So qualified sila.
Pero maganda nga yan. Kung nagkataon, boboto na rin ako. 1992 pa ako last na bumoto.

Mawawala bigla ang mga eskwaters dyan at siguradong sisipain na sila ni mayor. Kalat lang at wala nang pakinabang eh.

Hmmm...

Sabagay, may tama ka nga dyan sa sinabi mo. Dapat kasi magkaroon ng criteria ang mga pwedeng magrehistro. Dapat siguro atleast College graduate or may sariling negosyo na kumikita ng hindi bababa ng PXX,XXX.oo or basta OFW hEhEhE pwede nang bumoto.

hEhEhE...

uu nga, ang sarap nga sana nung panahon ni erap kaso nag-aaral pa ako nun. honestly gusto ko nga sana manalo siya ulet sa 2016 naku ang sarap ng palitan nyan. Kaso nga lang til now hindi pa ako registered, I don't really give a F*ck about these politicians.

Sa totoo lang, may ilang tao pa akong nakakausap at sa hindi ko maintindihang dahilan ay gusto pa rin nilang manalo si erap. Lakas talaga ng charisma ni erap!
