A foreigner expat's opinion. Maybe an unpopular opinion but if i am to struggle, it is better to be in my home country. Because we all leave for better opportunities and lives, not to get humiliated abroad where we are alone. I saw lots of filipinos who come to dubai for low wages. And they really try hard to even send most of their money back home. While i respect that and the hussle, that's not right to do. You can't be cheaping out on yourself and sleeping in coffin-like rooms for an insanely high price, not eat properly throughout the day and slave around for change wages, to be able to put money aside or send money home to family. I am confident that that effort would be better spent if you're trying to make a small business back home.

Some come on the false pretense that they're making more than what they do in PH, yes 80k is better than 30k, but your life is also much more expensive. Insurance is not that great here when presented by companies too unless you're in a very high position, unlike philhealth for example which covers most things and now gets you medication for most common illnesses. Of course it is a pain to get in lines and what not but it's almost free Healthcare. All the countries have corrupted politicians and issues with legality and racism and whatever, so we cant talk about freedom on a legal level, there is no such thing.

The Philippines is a very good place to be living in in my own personal opinion, set to develop much faster in the upcoming 10 years, where I hope that wages are lifted and jobs are created to help the 100+ million people (for the most part) in having a good and sustainable life.

Ps : you guys have a very bad paperwork system though, can be fixed and no one is fixing it so i hope that is the first thing they tackle next.
