Money and Manipulation

Sent to me via E-mail.

To All Filipino Overseas Workers (OFW'S):

The Financial Analyst of World Bank would like to inform each and everyone of you that the present currency exchange rate of US Dollar to Peso is actually $1 = 52 Pesos.
Your government is manipulating the exchange rate for some years now. It is very much improbable and impossible that the Philippine Peso is appreciating compare to Euro, British Pound, Rials, and any other foreign currency. Even your ASEAN neighboring countries are suffering from the Global Crisis. Singapore , a developed country is affected by depreciation of their currency what more of your country?

We admire you for your hard work but we also pity you for having such a very corrupt government that is taking advantage of your hard earned money..

The ARROYO ADMINISTRATION is blatantly milking each and every OFW's all over the world of billions of pesos for its own greedy, selfish ends. Investigations reveal that this milked money from OFWs will be spent to BRIBE not only PGMA's pet CROCODILES in CONGRESS but some in the SENATE as well for her to PERPETUATE IN POWER BEYOND 2010. The rest would be deposited to the family's SECRET ACCOUNT in Switzerland .

Another money-making scheme is the LOTTERY DRAWS. Filipinos should be aware that all LOTTO DRAWS are orchestrated, and big money goes to the two sons of the lady president. Recent example is the SUPER LOTTO 6/49 draw, where supposedly two individuals from Luzon won. Do you know WHO these individuals are? It's Mikey and Datu, who else? One might ask how could the draw be rigged when it is being televised in front of millions of viewers. The answer is simple. As you all know, all bet combinations are being entered into PCSO's main data base as it is on-line, therefore, it is easy to determine which combinations were NOT betted upon. If they want to raise big money, no winners will be declared until the JACKPOT reaches sky-high because they could dictate the outcome at will.

When it's "HARVEST TIME", viola, there would be "winner or winners" and the process repeats all over again. One might ask how this is being done. One insider told our investigators that actually the "DRAWN BALLS", six balls to be exact, are the only set which could fit into the transparent tube which sucks the balls up. All others are slightly bigger than the diameter of the tube which could not be distinguished by the viewers, therefore, there's no way they could be drawn! You Filipinos are being skinned alive, fried in your own fat and lard by your own government.. . Do you ever wonder why president-elect BARACK OBAMA, avoids your president like a stinking leper?

OFWs

11 percent of the population of the Philippines are all around the world working as a contract worker. This number is still rising.
President GMA praised the Global Pinoy is helping the economy, raking in dollars. Men and women go abroad and earn better for their relatives back home. They are heroes.
This is the bright side but what about the darker side of the coin?
Yes, they earn money but what about the family left here. The children who, in their growing years, need their parent more than the money. Families are broken when this happens. Worse if one parent goes and the other is left to take care of the children.
I knew of two different people who's husbands were having extra marital affairs while the wife was away. When they came home, no more money, the guilty spouse left and the families are broken. "Sumakabilang-bahay" was the joking term given.
Broken families. That is one of the results of OFWs.

So many people studying nursing. People who are accountants, bankers and even doctors take up nursing and go to the States to work. What is a problem is when they do not go back. They petition their families to go there and they stay leaving their heritage behind. They vehemently proclaim their new nationality and forget there was even a country called Philippines.
What about people here in the Philippines? All our nurses, good or bad are leaving the hospitals. They lacked the passion of being a nurse, of helping people get better. They do it now for the money.

Can the good thing justify the bad side of OFWs? One can say that cases are subjective. We cannot judge a person's reasons for working abroad. Opportunities are wooing our countrymen and for the starved, dollars sounds better than our measly minimum.
