Throughout Philippine history, it's the immigrants who built fortunes and, in the process, helped build Philippine economy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Asia has a great future; we here in the Philippines will benefit from this Asian prosperity.
Filipino talents and skills are becoming ubiquitous in many parts of the world. Returning Filipino workers have helped improve our skills and technological standards.
There is that potential of the expats coming back to the Philippines. But sadly they are no opportunities, no incentive for them to come back home. Successive governments have, in fact, been training them to export them rather than working on the economy to welcome them home.
Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.
The Philippines is strategically located and blessed with the greatest resource: its people, who are hard-working, very loyal, and very adaptive.
Our educational system should make the Filipino fit not just for whatever jobs happen to be on offer today, but also for whatever economic challenge life will throw in their way.
I articulate the deepest need of the Filipino people, which is reform of a corrupt culture.
Apart from boosting our long-term economic strength like other Asian economic powers, Philippine companies expanding overseas and going beyond our comfort zones, or going to some uncharted territories, will help sharpen our management skills.
The Filipino embraces civilization and lives and thrives in every clime, in contact with every people.
I ask the educational system, the parents, the church, and pillars of the community to help shape a new culture of honesty, patriotism, respect, discipline and service for young Filipinos.
