The Per-capita is less than your country because The Philippines have a higher population.

Well, you guys have a large GDP so it should be ok, except the population that really bring down your PER CAPITA.

These statistics sometimes are unreliable. Can you imagine those numbers not included on those reports? The more reliable thing is how the people of each nation are really coping up with the economy.

OR maybe its the other side of the coin your not seeing here, you cant leave your country because no one trust you! hahaha

BTW we are MALAYS to!!!

O' well, larawan ng kawalang Malay nga si darielqrenz.

There are lots of Indonesians working in the Middle East also and if given a chance, most Indonesians will bail out from their country just to find a better and peaceful life overseas.

can't wait to go back home to zamboanga, philippines. filipinos here in the states makes the u.s appear like its heaven. work in the philippines is the same here in the u.s . the only difference is the wage. if you are a janitor in the philippines the work here in america is still the same humiliating. many filipinos here in the u.s are doing service jobs like janitor,housekeeping,nursing aid, clerk, etc. what i dont understand is they can save money while working in the u.s then go back home and live a dignified life and at the same time helping their native country by investing like building a house. but i guess they are too dumb to start a business in the philippines and plus most are broke in america. america is just all hype. 30 yrs mortgage to own a house is that in america is that heaven? maybe if you are poor in the philippines

Ang YABANG mo naman. KUNG yung mga ibang lahi nga nilalait na mga Filipino ikaw pang kapwa FILipino ang mas nanlalait. ^
FOR YOUR information THe US cencus states that FILAMS have one of the highest household income and the most highly educated second only to INDIAN Americans. AND they have zero welfare assistance.
SIGURO you're from HAWAII or GUAM. I heard HAWAIan AMERICANS are ashamed to be FILIPINOS. That's why they always say they're hawaians when asked where they're from when in truth they're FILIPINOS.
TANGgalen na yang hambugan at payabangan isang quality na hindi kailangan ng FIlipino para umunalad.
Kahit domestic worker ka, JAnitor, doctor, pag nagreremit ka sa PILIPINAS ang lakeng tulong non sa ekonomiya ng PINAS. kUng hindi duon dahil sa kagaguhan ng mga politiko , siguro masahol pa sa AFrica PILipinas ngayon.

Just read this thread and I find it very amusing. After reading the posting of cruizer333444 & darielqrenz, I wouldn't waste time in discussing with them. Their logic and reasoning are so unbiased and full of holes. Maritess4 is right, these guys are simply trolling.

Humiliating or humiliation is the key word that needs to be purge in your life.
You said you are staying is Seattle? America is not only Seattle, WA.
Did you have a bad experience there? If so, then maybe it's because of your attitude of looking down on others around you as not of your equal.
I've been here in the US for more than 20 years and have seen the ups and downs of our fellow Filipinos in life. If you have encountered the arrival of a lot of Filipinos during the Y2K with their H1B visas, you will be amazed on how they really appreciated the chance of having a better livelihood that they never experienced in their life.
If you still say that America is a hype, then I must be still be dreaming of good fortunes that are coming to me and my family, so please don't wake me up with your sorry attitude in life.

[marites4]

and lets give our countrymen a break and not put them down. The US is very strict as far as accepting credentials from other countries in transferring educational attainment unless maybe you are from a developed country.
Most immigrants have to start fr the bottom and work their way up , there 's nothing wrong with that as long as you work hard. Many feel they're too old to start a new and don't have the stamina ,so settle for work less qualified for their trained proffesion.

agree with you cruizer333444 the philippines is not only facing a political problem,,
most of them just work in lower proffesional such as market keeper,,etc
and one more thing.. i found an interesting info from my friend in saudi arabia..
he told me about workers equally thingy among us
its like this.. 1 malaysian worker=1 indonesian worker=2 filipino workers
it means 1 filipinos worker equal to half indon or malay..

Err...correction, dariel. Pinoys are one of the highest-earning Asian minorities in the US. A few them work in sanitary and clerical jobs. Most of them are nurses, teachers, chefs, soldiers, doctors, businessmen, bankers, and government employees and officials.

[cruizer333444]

to cosmomanila ---this is the lie im talking about. you know very well that the majority of filipinos working here in the states are working service jobs. like janitorial, clerk, housekeeping,nursing aid, etc. you go to any hospital here in seattle like harboview, swedish hospital, virginia mason. most of the janitorial crew are filipinos. the same thing with retirement homes here in seattle. i have a friend (filipino) who works as a valet attendant at a retirement home here in seattle. there are 7 valet attendants and 4 are filipino 2 etiopians and 1 white married to a filipina. and they have a board with all the pictures of the workers at the retirement and they have a alot of filipinos in janitorial, dining room and nursing aid. ------the rich filipinos will never come to america to work. the philippines is still a paradise for them. like i said before , there is no substitude for the philippines if you are a filipino. philippines is still the best place to live. i hope i can go back home at 46 yr old. filipinos here in america just want to create alot of hoopla about america so that they will look super rich. so that they can look down at the philippines and say we are better than you filipinos in the philippines. remember filipinos in america you are still a working slave, working from 9 to 5, 5 days a week. only the desperate filipinos are the ones coming to america. the super rich filipinos are staying home. we are filipinos, not american. and philippines is our home. no place like home. i never met a rich filipino who moved to america. philippines is still the best. i miss home.

[cruizer333444]

to marites---lots of filipinos in america dont want to be filipinos anymore, not only hawaians. this shows its the poor ignorant filipinos who are coming to america because they have this kind of attitude. a few days ago i when to a grocery. and one of the clerk that was checking out my grocery is a filipina. my key chain has the filipino flag. when i gave her the key chain because the discount card of the grocery is clip to the key chain. when she saw the filipino flag she didn't say anything to me. i could sense she trying to avoid being filipina. but from her looks and accent im 100% sure she is pinay. 2 days ago i was there again at the grocery, its funny i could hear her talk to a white american and she was trying to cover her accent. lol.

I know several rich filipinos who still moved to the US. A daughter of a "Savet" clan whose late mother was a lawyer, her dad is a surgeon in prestigeous hospital in the Philippines. She's an MD especializing internal medicine in St John's hospital here in our city. I knew of a family who used to own a well known pastry shop in the Philippines who moved in the US and started the same business catering to the filipino community and is still doing well. A few other Physicians I knew whom are all well respected in our community, they are all Philippine graduate.

Although, I agree with some of what you said, in term of population of filipino americans, there are alot who works in a non- prefessional arena. You would see them mostly in East or West-coast areas, namely California and New York. But as you move towards inland, You would see alot of highly paid professionals who are filipinos along side with people from India.
