Filipinas are known to be a bread winner.I agree that most of us go working abroad for our family.I myself consider it right after finishing my course I have decided to work abroad to help my parents supporting my two siblings in college in that way I could repay Their kindess to me when sending me to a very high standard college in our city.My mum didnt wanted me to go working abroad but I insist and Blackmailing her that if she wouldnt let me I would run away and work abroad still and she couldnt do anything about it but agreed for my decision.She was so supported and kind that I will do anything for them.And then while I was abroad I met my beloved thats how it started.so we cant blame filipinas if they want to go abroad and as well face the fact that some of filipinas using foreigner really just to come out the country but they`re not harming you or me so let them decide what they want to do and thats their life anyway not ours same as other member said stop poking your nose to others.Mind your own business.I also thought before that life abroad is harmonious and yet as the saying goes Not all that Glitters is Gold we thought that we earn a lot abroad life is precious but we didnt know that lifestyle here is so expensive as well.Being in U.K is better off coz of child benefits and hospitalization thats the advantageous.In philippines we have cheap labour but we have very cheap lifestyle and the disadvantage side is that we havent got free hospitalization in general unlike here, so wherever you go theres disadvantage and advantage sideso which one you pick.about me am settled now here with my hubby.wherever the hubby goes the wife should be with him
