Filipino Economic Bullshit
There are already more than 15,000,000 Filipinos residing and working today in some 168 foreign countries. Indeed, in the Philippines, out of every one job available there are more than 100 applicants applying for that job. And the wages offered are, as usual, pathetic. Just like working for any employer who is a “me first” greedy lunatic.
In the meantime, I have yet to see Filipino economists working not for their employer’s greed, but working by protecting and defending the employee’s needs. If they are unable to do so, the least they can do is to start proclaiming that our population growth is not fruitful, but fruitless in our struggle for equality via national economic prosperity. In our country where the rich minority get richer, and the poor majority get poorer, I ask: what the fuck are you Filipino college-educated economists doing to remedy the national bullshit otherwise more known as GOD BLESS YOU or GOD BLESS the insane economic system traditional in the Philippines?

Yes, it's definitely disconcerting that most of the countries wealth is from Filipinos working abroad and sending money back home. Economists in the Philippines would generally agree that building infrastructure, eliminating corruption, and reducing population growth would increase economic growth. However, popular opinion in the Philippines is ruled by religious doctrine and celebrity politicians. Smart economists avoid dealing with both of these types of bullshit.
