Link to Politically Correct Patriotism of our Failed Elites.
It's similar to false faith to a particular religion. It's so easy to feel patriotic and at the same time be a bigot and narrow minded.
The cases and reasons of nurses and doctors moving to America for a better opportunity are no different to most Filipino workers (even domestic helpers) working at other countries (myself included here at Singapore). I don't believe there is a shortage on manpower in the Philippines (check nyo lang kung ilang mga IT graduates every year). Sa dami ng tao sa Pinas ito nga ang pinaka-asset ng bansa natin, MANPOWER. Kailangan lang magbigay ng kalidad na edukasyon at training sa workforce sa Pinas at syempre sapat na sahod para sa pamilya (na hindi papatayin yung empleyado sa trabaho).
I feel empathy for my fellow OFW heroes working at foreign lands to support their families. I share their dream of a better life for our families. These people clamoring that they are so patriotic should throw away all their wealth and put themselves in the shoes of families struggling with their daily needs. The last shall be first and first shall be last!
