What BRAIN DRAIN Problem Have WE
There are more than 20 million Filipinos ( mostly Filipinas ) with college education who are working today as skilled laborers and professionals in more than 190 foreign countries. They could not be educated enough to be self-employed. They could not be educated enough to develop the agricultural enterprises. They could not be educated enough to exploit the trillion of dollars worth of natural resources, such as our mining products, to help the Philippines grow into a healthy society and develop into a wealthy nation, especially with the help of science and technology. Indeed, we could not even to be educated enough to seriously practice family planning and birth control measures to curtail the spread of poverty in this God-forsaken brain-drained country of ours.
In the meantime, isn't it silly to believe that the so-called "BRAIN DRAIN" is such a difficult problem to solve in the Philippines? To begin with, what BRAIN DRAIN are you people talking about?
what brain have we in the schools, colleges, and universities more referred to as "teachers," and "professors?"
What brain have we in the churches and cathedrals more referred to as "priests, nuns, bishops, and cardinals?"
What brain have we in the courts of law more referred to as "lawyers and judges?"
What brain have we in the military more referred to as "generals and commodores?"
What brain have we in the government more referred to as "barangay captains, mayors, governors, congressmen, senators, vice-president, and president?"
