    I have been there 50 or 60 times due to favourable geographic location for a number of years(Manila was £70 return)and its not utopia,I think 11% of the adult population work abroad,and the other 89% of the adult population WANT to work abroad(slight exaggeration)thats got to say something I think if they had to live exactly,note that word "Exactly" like a typical pinoy most of the "I want to live in Pinas" crew wouldnt leave blighty Theres plenty of places in the world you can be comfortable with a few quid stashed under the mattress Its a decent enough country to visit,but once your living there you become embroiled in family problems and your always the panacea for monetary ills



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    That adds up to 100% but there is another slice to this cake that you forgot to mention, the ones who don't work abroad, don't want to work either in Phils or abroad and are quite happy to just sit around and wait for the next remmitance to arrive.

    Very true and more often than not it's for wants not needs.
