migration

At the most, i guess I could bear working abroad for a couple of years just to create some capital. Pero mas gusto ko talaga dito.

Kahit ano pa sabihin ng ibang tao na walang kuwenta at walang pupuntahan ang pinas... There's no other place for me.

Maraming beses na kitang nilayasan
Iniwanan at iba ang pinuntahan
Parang babaeng mahirap talagang malimutan
Ikaw lamang ang aking laging binabalikan

Manila, Manila
I keep coming back to Manila
Simply no place like Manila
Manila, I'm coming home

I walked the streets of San Francisco
I've tried the rides in Disneyland
Dated a million girls in Sydney
Somehow I feel like I don't belong

Hinahanap-hanap kita Manila
Ang ingay mong kay sarap sa tenga
Mga Jeepney mong nagliliparan
Mga babae mong naggagandahan
Take me back in your arms Manila
And promise me you'll never let go
Promise me you'll never let go

Manila, Manila
Miss you like hell, Manila
No place in the world like Manila
I'm coming here to stay

Pinas siempre, sa Pinas ako mamamatay eh :grin:

See, Mali yung Survey na 4 out of 10 pinoys daw gustong mag-migrate sa ibang bansa?! But then, kailangan pa ding magtravel overseas either to work or to just see their place para makita din naman natin ang pamumuhay dun...

I just migrated!

Well, it was for the sake of securing our kid's future. My wife and I felt that if we stayed in Pinas, nothing will happen to us.

Our target is to work our butts out till we could put up a rental property back in our homeland then go back to retire eventually. Now, at least we have green cards which we can use in case of any emergency that may arise or we may stay here for good depending on the economic situation and the government's performance.

Dito sa Memphis, TN., kahit second class ka, you get benefits that others get. They even say that TN is one of the most dangerous states to live in but I keep on telling myself, wala yan sa Pinas.

I just hope and pray we meet our goals and live life to the fullest.

sama ako ng lima diyan...ipon lang tayo for the future..then BALIkkkkkkkkkkkkk na tayo sa Pinas!!!

Of course pede ka namang mag abroad abroad kung gusto mo ng vacation for a change....

mas masarap mangapitbahay sa pinas...d2 walang pakiaalaman ang tao...masarap din ang chismis..hehehehe

Doc Diesel,

Kaya pala nawala ka! Good luck sa yo at sa pamilya mo.
Di ba lugar yan ng mga racist? Tsaka ni Elvis "da king" Presley?

Immigrant din kami. Uwing uwi n rin ako kung di lang s future ng mga anak d ako magtitiis d2. Everyday din ako nagbabasa ng inq.7 at abs cbn para m feel m lng n para kng s pinas. Ito lng ang isa s maganda d2, magbabad s internet na minimal lng ang fee. Pero gusto k ng umuwi at kumain ng pinakbet!!!!

shintaro,

syempre di natin masasabi na mali yung survey based on a few replies dito sa tsikot hehe... remember, generally nasa A,B, and C classes yung tsikot members, not really the socioeconomic classes that would really benefit from migrating

No. Its still better living here lalo na kung well off ka naman. I'll only migrate if I'm having a hard time financially here. Kakayod ako sa ibang bansa to survive. Magbago man ang gobyerno, sarap pa din dito. Mas kita mo ang democracy dahil sobra sa demokrasya ang bansa natin.

Marami din ako relatives outside the country, mga nag migrate sa US and Australia, pag umuuwi sila dito, iba pa rin daw dito. Mas masarap ang buhay dito, basta may pera. Sa kanila, kahit may pera, ang hirap pa din daw.

Totoong mas updated pa tayo minsan dito, lalo na sa electronics (since most electronics and other products are now made here and in other ASEAN countries, not forgetting that Japan and Korea, and also China are just around the corner)....
