Back To The Philippines

When I was 3 years old my parents decided to go back to the Philippines, there were lots of reasons behind that decision... First, my dad's job their was already done and so he had nothing else to do in Ecuador.. So they decided to go back to the Philippines! Sounds so Nationalistic, right? But wait! There's more...

The plan to go back to the Philippines was just for vacation... My parents were also pursuing the Filipino Dream and so they wanted to live abroad... So the real plan was that while my mom is in the States processing all our papers so that our family could be green card holders, making us immigrants! But due to unplanned events this part of the plan didn't push through and so we had to settle here in the Philippines which I am really happy about...

Its funny how almost all Filipinos want to get out of this country! Even my parents wanted it, and a whole lot more of Filipinos out there are also wanting the same thing... I've talked to a couple of Filipinos living abroad, some are happy and some are not, so I can't really say that going abroad is a bad thing... But my point is if we let the best go, we would have no one left.. And what about all the children who are left here while their parents work abroad?

There is nothing wrong with going out of this country! But if your reason for leaving is because you think this country would never rise up, then I ask you to stay and help make this nation better for us and for the future generations.. If you care enough to know that this country is hopeless, I hope that you would care enough to stay and give hope to our Filipinos..
