the suffering that these people have undergone are a matter of choice. I've been living in the Philippines since my birth and refused to be employed offshore because I am trying to live in my principle that with perseverance and hardwork our lives will be elevated. And so far, I am proud to say that I am able to make life happen compare to most filipinos who have to leave their families just to earn a decent living. Not that I am against it. Life is a matter of choice. If you choose to suffer then be it, if you want to have a life that lives in a decent place and eat a decent food, have a better lifestyle, and see/travel the places you want to go then do something about it and not wait for help. I know this sounds sad, but most of my countrymen are so good at blaming others instead of getting up from where they stumble and start from there to way up.
