Office of the Slave Merchants of the Philippines

Here's a typical site in front of Manning agencies, Long lines or crowd of job seekers wishing to work abroad... or just anywhere but here (locally in Philippines)...

They are willing to leave their families in exchange of left over dollars from the big tables of the huge global corporate empires of the giant corporations abroad.

They are motivated by the thought of a good a prosperous living dictated by money for their family... they are enslaved by the thought of that Money will make their lives a lot better. In exchange for time with family, time for community, time for country.

They end up building the lives and infrastructures of other foreign nations, from buildings to cars, to factories to end products.

They go home after many months or years, seeing their family more alienated from them, if ever they can still get home with a family i tact - thats if they're lucky. They go home with money to buy everything their family needs, except lost time.... they go home thinking of retiring and investing their money in the bank, money market, or quick - hi return investments which are normally scams... They end up - back to where they started... but more loss than gained.

Time lost intended for family... is never regained, not even money can buy it back.

And they say that the family is the basic fiber of the society and if it's strong, a nation can also be strong.

How on earth can one say that this country is a strong Republic??? when the basic fibers of society is systematically being destroyed?

How blind can a whole nation be?

.... I am provoking your thoughts.
