Ex pats Pinoys not on easy street
[QUOTE=Free2;2444520]I have only ever sent money to the Phils under exceptional circumstances and haven't done it for many years. Sending rice. Great idea. But I know for a fact these people can live on a pittance in the provinces and will not be sending any money to them for that exact reason. Sounds cruel, but I know they will survive.
However, alot if not all of the overseas families who are the cash cows have been laid off in their country and will not be sending money home to the Phils any time soon. I know many here where I live. They are tightening their purses for their own survival. Some made stupid financial decisions and now have expensive lease payments on the car of their dreams that they cannot pay. Remittances must be WAY down in the Phils. This may have more to with the crippling of the Phils economy than anything else as they depend so heavily on it. Although, many overseas are in the nursing, healthcare trade and their salaries will still be coming in.[/QUOTE]They are dying in substantial numbers. Few hookers would be networked into them.
