  • Can I ask another question to Filipinos who have worked abroad?

    Posted by admin on February 18th, 2010 and filed under economic livelihood | 3 Comments »

    Have you or anybody you personally know (who have worked abroad) lost your / their job or means of livelihood during the global economic slowdown in the last couple of years?

    And did you have to go back to the Philippines or somewhere else because of this?
    If you did or personally know of anybody who did, can you give some feedback regarding that move, better or worse, richer or poorer? sickness or health? other details, any suggestions, etc. etc.

    Yes, I have known people who’ve lost their jobs here in Canada as a result of the global slowdown. Certain companies are shutting down a few of their factories and plants, causing many people to lose their jobs and to move from place to place to search for jobs that are (temporarily) not available.

    I, myself, am thankful that my family wasn’t hit so hard. So far, I haven’t heard of anyone having to move to the Philippines because of the poor economy. I know someone who’s moving from one city to another for the same reason, but not to another country.
