That is quite a major voting force. There have been rumblings to deny these folks the right to vote in elections. Imagine if one of these overseas foreign workers became popular enough to rally other OFWs to vote for one of their own? And what if that person was elected and had a real agenda, rather than an agenda of corruption ajnd enrichment of the trapos in power? COuld that person turn the country around and reverse the spiral into the abyss of non-factor when it comes to the global ecomony? because that is going to be the case if the country doesnt get its act together, and why not a person who helps to build other countries who can lead the Philippines?
The country is a total joke, it is exporting people to other countries, it has to beg other countries to rescue their people from Lebanon, yet it gladly sends them off, as long as they send their money back to line the coffers of the politicians. I've got Filipino friends who are "caregivers" to the elderly in ritzy newport Beach, NYC, and LA. I know a filipina who is an assistant to the director of Seabiscuit; Countless others work menial jobs here in So. CAL, though others are professionals. Filipinos are fast becoming the mexicans of the world, performing the most menial of jobs to earn money to send to their families. The country sits back while other countries in the region enjoy the fruits of a global economy. I've said it before, but Vietnam will surpass the Philippines economically and will be a new tiger before the Philippines
