Pinoys may be giving less but are not known to be worst employers.
What are happening now? since these foreigners could not own property here in the Philippines, they are marrying nakalungsod-jud-ni Filipinas, making them dummy owners of their businesses, lots, and anything else they wish to own here in the Phils. and siyempre, since poverty stricken najud ni atong nasod, a lot of Filipinas fall into marrying these retirable-if-not-retired 60+ Joes. is everyone happy with this scenario? it's a two-way parasitic relationship. being a Filipina, I am not proud of that.
I would still go for... the Philippines is for the Filipinos! they could invest here, yes they always can. But they can't own us, nor a part of us.This is our land and we are entitled to it. Our law of the land stood for something and our Filipino heroes did not die for nothing .
