Fly to Dubai
Published on September 2nd, 2009.
A lot of Filipino professionals nowadays are resorting to work abroad rather than work here in the Philippines. Some flies to the US, Canada, Australia, UAE and other countries which offers a much better pay. The other day, I joined a despidida party for a friend who’s going to fly to Dubai. She’s a Certified Public Accountant here in the Philippines and has quite a good job in an auditing firm. However, financial reasons made her decide to go there because they offer a much bigger pay for a professional like her. The Philippines are really experiencing this so-called brain drain, and the givernment should try to adress this problem.

Hi. If you don’t mind telling, how much is your friend being offered? I heard from a friend that even the pay of a general nurse is good, something like USD2000 (About MYR7000). In my country Malaysia, this is the pay of a senior manager in a medium size company!

I’ve only been living in Cebu for a couple of months now and I know at least two of my new friends have taken off for Singapore. It’s tough to have to work abroad, but it’s kind of nice for me to live here in retirement. I enjoy it. Hopefully more Americans will follow and pour some cash into the economy and create jobs.
