I think so, If you look how many filipinos finished in their medical field, then you'll see there are about 40,000 in UK, in USA we have hundred thousands, and hundred thousand in Middle East. NZ, Canada, Japan, Australia is now hiring hundred of thousand nurses. We have loads of doctors too.

If you visit Canada, then you'll see many filipinos around everywhere. They came to Canada as high skilled workers and most of them are engineers. Even Nanny's there are qualified teachers in the Philippines. They grab the opportunities as high skilled workers there because it's free placement fee and they have chance to be a resident in that countries too.

In the Philippines, we don't need to hire foreign professionals as we have loads of. It's just that we are over populated and the schools I think cannot accomodate them all. I think if we have good government like Scotland offering study now pay later, then we may have no problem about other unfortunate filipinos who wish to study but cannot afford. As we Filipinos are hardworking.

I have questions in my mind that until now, I don't know the exact answers.

Would you or any body can tell me how a rich and big countries like I have mentioned above have lack of professional workers? I know there are loads of people there to study so they don't need to hire foreign workers. They don't want to study? I enrolled in our local college and I was surprised we were only about 8 in the class. In the Philippines, we were 50 in a class with 40,000 student populations. That was the schoo I've been. I know there are loads of students here but many are foreigners.
