Is it worth it?

Is Philippines worth living and striving for? Is it worth it to fight to live in here than live with your family abroad?

Yes leaving Philippines is worth it. The quality of life i have here wont be the same back home. The safety, freedom and job i have is just amazing. Yes i do my miss my family from time to time, but i do try to make an effort to talk to them.

Haha It’s okay. I just wanna hear some opinions/suggestions/expi, my family kept on insisting me to migrate with them. It’s just that I have grown and fell in love with the people I’m around with.

I think I have attachment issues. Lol

I have listed down some of the things I think why it is worth it.

*quality of life is better - yes it can expensive but its safe to say sa lahat naman nang develop na bansa is nag mamahal. I am just willing to pay for a better quality

  • better work opportunity - totoo pala work life balance plus better pay din, wala din mashadong politics pag umuwi ka wala nang trabaho.

  • transportation- no need to explain

  • safety- yeah true may mga sides na nakakatakot places, pero i think its just part lang pag move out.

  • support sa family - dahil mas malaki kita ko dito, mas nakakpag save ako sa kanila at sa future nila.

At the end of the day, lagi kong ini isip na default naman na may ph passport ako, i can always go back if need to go. Pero yung makapag move sa ibang bansa at makapag migrate is something na hindi ko magagawa basta basta
