[Tawi2]

Too little too late,I have seen a college of learning above a chip or kebab shop,just used as visa,shops thats it,I have met shedloads,thats no exagerration,SHEDLOADS of "students" who came here just to work,I cant count the number of pinays and pinoys I have met who ostensibly came here to "study" but really wanted just to get a foot in the door and stay here,I have always said halt the cheap "English" programs,if you can afford 3 1/2-5 grand to come here as a "student" to learn english yet your from pinas(the third largest english speaking country in the world?)wouldnt you be better staying in pinas and paying maybe £1000 a year fees for a very good private degree in somewhere like ataneo?ALL foreign students should be vetted and interviewed face-to-face,pakistani,indian,nigerian,ghanan,pinoy......lahat!

....I cant count the number of pinays and pinoys I have met who ostensibly came here to "study" but really wanted just to get a foot in the door and stay here....

I really hate to agree with this, but no choice. I know it to be true to a certain extent. Not in the majority of cases in my experience but certainly a lot.
The largest majority of filipinas I know are spouses and very genuine.
Of those who are not spouses the largest majority do fit your opinion. Not all by any means, but actually the largest majority.

Have seen it firsthand over the past few years in our town here in the Philippines. There is a recruiter who seems to have a knack of getting people into other countries. He has managed to get a large number off people into the UK on student visa's and not one has returned
This year it seems that he can no longer do it so has moved onto Canadian visa's. Maybe i will be the only one left in a few years time!
