The major export earner for the Philippines is remittances from OFWs. Cheap modern day slaves sent to Singapore, Hong Kong and the Middle East to do menial tasks that no one else wants to do. Singaporean women have outsourced the cleaning of their kids' bottoms to a bunch of Filipinas so they can go and buy more bags from the Chanel boutique on Orchard.
Second biggest earner is BPO, where college graduates sit in buildings in front of a screen all day trying to resolve technical issues for millions of wealthy westerners around the world.
Well, it's not as if Filipinos are ever going to invent anything to manufacture their way out of poverty.
Foreign companies from countries in the west have a real problem now investing in the Philippines with the more rigid enforcement of Foreign Corrupt Practises Act (or equivalent). A colleague of mine said that many Filipino mayors and senior government officials simply don't understand why a publicly traded company from the US, Australia or UK can't just wire $50 million into their personal accounts. He said they would rather just kill a project than compromise with a western company. This may mean that thousands of Filipinos miss out on job opportunities and the country forgoes essential infrastructure creation. Only the Chinese and Koreans can readily invest in the Philippines as their anti-corruption measures in their countries are quite flexible.

I just returned from a couple of nonPI Asian countries and I was ready to kill by the time I left. All petty shit. All 1st world problems. And yes, I should have known better or not gone at all. But the 100 little fuckups a day drove me nuts.
Having said that, will I be back? Sure. 👍.
Enjoy. G.

On any given week, I use to get about 2 request from mostly the same 5 girls that I had met previously.
Now its more as one girl got herself pregnant and now wants money for just about everything you can think of.
Ah, like I said, enjoy your quiet moments while you can.
Cheers.

Could be a good master's degree thesis here for someone to see if there this can be demonstrated experimentally.

Many times those that were functionally illiterate scored the highest in reasoning and problem solving.
Give them a yard of fencing wire and three marbles and they could build/repair anything. Maybe not to Code but it would work. 😁

Posts: 72Know the difference
There are people all over the world both male and female who are filed into several categories. Regardless of their education they are 1. Dingbats / clueless 2. No common sense 3. How do they breath and so on. I have known people with education in the PHD level that were totally useless as a daily functioning human being. In short education is nice to have, but it's not everything.
