Thumbs down I think I'm gonna die and get buried here

NO WAY! When I left the Philippines, it was for good. I got frustrated with the government and the hopelessness of the situation. The couple of times I went to visit, yeah, there are more malls but the citizens are getting poorer and the government is getting worse. No wonder why a lot of Filipinos are leaving the country. I think I'm gonna die and get buried here in Canada.



Philippines is made up of 7,107 beautiful islands. You would surely enjoy your [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]vacation[/color][/color] in the Philippines as it have lots of beautiful beaches like the famous [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]boracay[/color][/color], amanpulo, el nido, club paradise and so much more.

Aside from the beautiful beaches, you could go and have fun enjoying other beautiful attractions found all over the country. Tagaytay is known for its cool weather and picturesque view of the taal volcano.

Default There Is No Place Like Home....

Let's face it, political turmoil, traffic chaos, power and fare hikes, rice shortages, storm and typhoons, corruptions in govt., massive red tape, plunders, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.... still Philippines is where your home is. These trademarks make Philippines always on top. But believe me, there is no place like home....!

Unhappy I miss my home ....

Tama po kayo pinoy expat. Iba pa rin sa Pinas.Parang pagsarili mong bahay doon ka sanay at doon ka pa rin uuwi o babalik. I love Philppines pa rin kahit maraming kahirapan na nangyayari. Tuloy nalang kayo province pag umuwi kayo. Sa manila mas feel mo ang preasure.

I think everyone has a point and have their opinions respected. As Clarissa and Gan said its very dissapointing, indeed! and I agree! Its quite dissapointing to see only Wealthy People and Politicians are the ones who get richer and the poor masses becomes more poorer. We need to be vigilant and fight for the common cause. Just to remind everyone that its not the Government and Politics that is dirty its the people behind it! THE ONES WHO GOVERN ANDTHE POLITICIANS.

But then i also agree with Miss Perez and Mr Expat that life here in the Philippines minus the Corrupts and Dirty Politicians is no other place in the world. Take those Nuisance Off the Country and Voila!.. Philippines is one of the best Countries in the World!.. As what they say.. THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!..I DONT WANT TO BE ANYWHERE ELSE! (sounds familiar?)
