Philippines largest exporter of manpower to the world

When I was two years old my father left for Saudi Arabia to work as a nurse. Hence, I grew up without a single memory of my father playing with me as a kid. Then I turned five, it was even harder when my mother also had to leave for the U.S. also to work as a nurse for me to be enrolled in a reputable private school in Iloilo City.

At a young age, I was immersed with the idea that in order to live comfortably in this country, one had to seek its way out for a greener pasture.

Back then, I couldn't understand why this is happening. I am now 25 and faced with my own dilemma. "I must be gone to live, or stay here and die". Shakespeare's words reflect the disposition of most Filipino professionals today.

The growing exodus of Filipinos to other countries could be attributed to the following reasons: to leave and escape poverty, a corrupt government or simply to find better work. It is frustrating that this country couldn't provide the opportunity every Filipino deserves.

Nevertheless, it seems that the government doesn't care. This despite the fact that the Filipino overseas remittances reached over 7 billion dollars annually, which amounts to the country's 32 percent GNP. Filipino overseas workers are responsible for helping the economy survive. The brain drain issue is no longer new to the ears of the public; it is a story of economic struggle.

The Philippines is recognized as the largest exporter of manpower to the world.
Our country surpassed Mexico as the primary source of migrant workers. Over 8 million Filipinos work overseas to support family back home. This is an alarming one tenth of our population.
