WTF? it seems like every persons dream to leave a 3rd world country and go abroad to a richer country with better job opportunities

why the hell would anyone pass this up? especially if they live in the Philippines where theres no hope for majority of them to do anything with their lives unless theyre part of the rich and wealthy elite

its also why I dont understand why Manny Pacquiao would choose to live in the Philippines over Los Angeles

I dont think you realize how bad life is in the Philippines if you think that hahah

A lot of college graduates are unemployed there for a long time. You can at least do jobs like Uber, Lyft, or Amazon in America and work toward other things. You cant even do that there.

I wont lie to you. It kinda is a shithole.

Only way its not is if youre rich enough to have a house in the rich neighborhoods or a fancy beach house

I dont think yall understand how hard life is in the Philippines. If you all really knew, youd have the same Qs and criticisms as me in regards to why they wouldnt leave if they have the chance

I've never been to the Philippines but maybe they just like their home. Some people may be more attached to their home than they are to a dream of moving abroad. And maybe they are the Alt Right of Philippines and loyal to their president, who kills kids on the street for having drugs

Or maybe they do want to move but to Europe instead of America

Of course they don't. It's CE. Google's too difficult to use for them. They're so desperate to hate something that they probably just saw your post and thought "TC say non-USA country. TC say USA. TC is insult non-USA country. Me throw tantrum. Then me sniff glue."

Expecting cultural awareness from CE is laughable.

^ nah, you just missed out on all of the topics where people argued how people from developing countries could also find good lives in countries in Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia, etc. but the TC was adamant about how the US was better than all of those.

Thats fine that they dont.shows that usa isnt the only place where folks living in the philippines want to live at. Maybe some actually like it there.

Pacquiao is the fighting pride of the country.he is a living legend there, stories of him are positive, and shares success with his hometown.

There is a reason the US is considered the land of opportunity. In the Philippines, you don't really have a lot of opportunity to succeed. Unless you're extremely rich, you're going to struggle to make enough money to support yourself, let alone any family you try to create. There is no middle class in the Philippines, there's two very distinct classes, and you're either on top, or you're struggling to survive.

This. I'm not saying the US is a perfect country or anything, but I do sincerely believe it's one of the best countries in the world. If someone realized how terrible it is in other places, they would appreciate what they have.

Still though, living in the USA is better than living in a lot of other places in the world.

It's just Filipino pride and sense of belonging and wanting to stay in the homeland I think. I work with a buncha older Filipinos, and a lot of the older retirement-able Filipinos in my family move back to the PI for retirement. They aren't exactly the wealthiest either but that's just where they wanna be I guess
