Big countries like the UK also have a huge amount of their working force working abroad (dubai,aus,hongkong,europe, us, canada etc) and with a huge working force of course like all major ones they need people from abroad. Both the city and the NHS which is one of the biggest employers in Europe i belive. Remeber also that Britain and all devloped nations populations are ageing so far less people in the "Learning phase of Life"

Industies like the City and the NHS suck up Talent from all over the World as you know. No one country could supply all of that talent.

There are plenty of lazy Filipinos as they are Brits or any other nations people.

Just see what happens when they get a safety of Remittance from abroad (see welfare system in the UK) many carry on working others just give up.

Trust me if the Welfare system was implemented in Phill tomorrow within 20 years you would have the same underclass of people who get stuck in a trap where its easier not to work than to work for various reasons.
Thanks for answering my question and it's clear 4 me now. I think you are right that they need to hire foreign workers. I just wish that someday, Philippines will become more progressive so I would love to hear that all Filipino OFW's will send back to Philippines because we can give them the right pay. Like what happened to Taiwan, Many Taiwanese Nurses/midwives working in Saudi were sent back home to their country of origin because they became progressive and well developed.

I also wish that every municipalities in the Philippines will progress. Our municipality can give us free education up to High School as our Revenues collections reach billions of pesos.Nobody knows in 10 years all municipalities will be progressive.

I remember my chinese friend in Taiwan in 1994. She said, 25 years ago, Taiwan was a poor country, we had rice + margarine to eat. We walk without slippers etc. And Philippines that time was better than Taiwan. But nobody knows, 20 years from now, you become rich and we can be you foreign workers in your country like you doing here.

Once again, thanks for answering my question.
