Can you feel the brain drain in our country? Are the best minds already living abroad?

yes we have local blankets that uses...hmmm the old method in making it...I forgot the name...

this is like my work environment. The great minds are leaving because they do not get what they deserve. I'm worried that all that will be left in the workplace will be incompetent people. It makes you want to quit your job since you have to double your effort because of bad employees that are bringing down the group. The bad employees are even getting the higher pay.

Just look at our Government you can easily say who they are

I feel that our best minds have figured out that this country is a sinking ship and that we're led by the least among us.
And maybe our best minds are already happily living somewhere else, maybe participating on the tech stuff that we'll eventually hear about on the news because it's not happening here.

Quite the opposite TS. Usually ang mga skillful ug mga naay ikapang hambog sa college ug sa board exam, dali ra maka sulod ug trabaho diri locally. Although sometimes maka larga jud ni ang uban pohon kung dili satisfied sa salary or opportunity diri sa atoa.

Pero, ang mga dili kaayo maayo sa college, especially for those non-board passers of engineering, tungod sa high level of competition diri sa atoa kay maglisod ug sulod ug trabaho. Some, mo dive nalang ug pang abroad bahala ug gagmay ug starting. Eventually, mo dagko ra gehapon ilang sweldo sa gawas due to experience and hard work.

Daghan kog nakit-an mga classmates ing ani. Ang mga maayo ug record sa college, ang uban naapa diri na stuck up locally like Lexmark RND, SMB, NGCP, etc... while ang mga pa relax2x lang sa college naa sa abroad kasagaran, mga dagko na ug sweldo.

^ I think depende pud sa imong field. In IT field, academic achievements / certification doesn't imply maau naka. There's a lot of those magna / com laude nga dili gud ana ka maau og programming.

I agree to a lot of your statements. It's not just the dismal pay that's discouraging, but you're also wasting away your potential into a company that's just repeating and repackaging their products (e.g. detergent bars, health products)

I think it's also because our business leaders are content with creating the fastest way to get profit. They don't want to take the risk in investing into Technology and Research and development. And so all we get from our affluent few are the usual super malls, condominium houses, advertising, and a mediocre entertainment industry.
Why can't our business men step up and take in charge?

Maybe we really need to open up the market to foreign companies so at least we can take advantage of the technology transfer if they operate here like what's currently happening in China.

[LeGrande]

Yup! because our country cannot and will not sustain the best minds of the Filipinos. Trabaho ka ug daku na company, daku ug sweldo, nindut ug stable na company... taxan ra ka ug au! ehehehe... Work ka sa govt., kung wa kay backer, contractual-for-life ka!
Best option nlng gud nimu is mag-negosyo! Dili ta ma datu anang manrabaho ra!
If HR ka dre sa Cebu karon.... mka-feel jud ka sa drain sa best minds. Kung hamak na rank-and-file ra ka... sus! nganong maproblema man ka ana!

[x64]

ana gyud na people come and go... sometimes come back and vice versa..., but every year new best minds are born man pud

Nice thread, tungod kay c Juan de la Cruz nag salig lang unsai moabot, (not all Juan de la Cruz) pero sakto pod nga dapat mobawi ta sa innvovation og motivation, then apilan nalang pod og initiative aron mo dagan pasulong c Pinas.
