reaction paper: decrease in OFWs deployment

“Some of the markets like South Korea and the United Arab Emirates have recovered from the financial crisis and are expected to hire more Filipinos in the coming year,” she said.
About half a million job orders from various countries abroad are yet to be filled and are available for Filipino workers in the coming year, Banawis said.
However, local recruiters warned of a further drop in hiring of Filipino workers overseas with many countries still to comply with the mandatory certification from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
Recruitment

leader Lito Soriano said thousands of workers would not be able to return to their worksites abroad if they fail to comply with the certification requirement.

- Philippine star

 Due to global financial crisis, fewer Filipino workers were hired abroad. according to the data presented by the POEA deputy administrator Stella Banawis the number of Filipinos deployed abroad decreased by three percent compared to last year.
The decrease of employers hiring Filipino OFWs is that Indonesian and other foreign workers are more willing to accept lower salaries. Thus, the declination of Filipinos hired.
Also the implementation of the amended Migrant Workers Act late this year has also adversely affected the processing and hiring of Filipino workers abroad. the act would  allow the government to impose additional state exaction and fees that will bleed migrant workers dry of their earnings. it will intensify the recruitment while not safeguarding the well-being and protection of the OFWs.
These OFW problems will hamper the smooth deployments abroad. thus, results to a declination in the economy since Philippines' dependency on remittances from non-resident investors is large.
As we know, OFWs improves the exchange rates because it makes peso stronger. The inflow of remittances injected significant liquidity in the economy, the disappearance of exchange rate uncertainty and the increased liquidity have allowed interest rates to remain low while the stronger peso helped keep inflation low.

YESTERDAY WAS WEIRD.

mom and dad had  a  quarrel and all was mashed up. mom rummaged everything in dad's closet and complained about the chaotic picture it had been in years.  ( since dad had a closet, he never got time or just don't bother improving its condition. and i already accepted this fact, that dad is plain messy with his stuffs. sometimes i even bother myself and clean his mess. but i also accepted that its normal condition won't last long. (or should i say what's normal is what's messy.) one minute it's tidy, the next minute it'll be as disordered as before the moment dad will enter his room again. i had long before faced this fact. and i just can't understand why my mom can't accept this. they've been living for how many years i lost count already, yet she can't bare or get used to dad's scattered human nature? 

what my mom did?

she threw out everything in my dad's closet while loudly complaining about it, about everything in my dad's room. the best part was that after her feat, she wanted us, her placid children, watching peacefully at the living room, TO CLEAN HER MESS! wasn't it unfair?? she did all the messing, the venting, tired herself out and in the end she got nothing from it. and now she wanted us to clean it?? this so injustice! i do mop floors, but i don't mop floors which is deliberately messed up by someone else! 

it's a real fact that my mom has a FRAUD obsessive compulsive disorder. a genuine OC kind of person can't stand disorder no matter how little or big it is. she just can't. she easily gets irritated with just a site of pillows not in proper place. my mom is otherwise, she can sleep even the bed sheet is not properly tucked in. she can stand an unwashed piles of dishes in the sink, she can bare the site of clothes not folded for three days after it was washed.... and that's what she self-proclaimed with her self being OC?? hell no!!! 

let's get back to what happen to us downtrodden children. so my mom COMMAND us, (let me use the term because my mom is embodying the hard as a nut fact that she's the drama queen of the house that day. that we are her humble and submissive servants and we are subjects to her irrational tyranny. i hate to include my dad but most of the time it appears so.)  to clean her mess. so as ever faithful and obedient servants, we folded the clothes, placed them properly in place, and cleaned the room. we did all these to satisfy her majesty, to materialize her OCness, to boost her ego, to prove her domineering, to justify that we are just the waifs she happened to have mercy to and that it should be our humble pleasure and be grateful that she laid her merciful eyes on us. 

this is the best part:

after we folded the clothes, the dog entered the room and started playing with us. (aba, the royal dog stepped down from his thrown and reached out to the commoners.) but, since he would be a distraction to our work, we pushed him out of the room but just when he's heading out. the majesty in all her her flaring nostrils and inflaming eyes almost protruding out of her veins, stepped in to the room and KICKED ALL THAT WE FOLDED AND STARTED COMPLAINING WHY WE LET THE DOG GET IN TO THE ROOM! 

long narration of sufferings will be continued later, clamoring hypothalamus hampers writing progress.

i had a long shopping spree with my ever generous little sister. she did all the spending since she just received her money form their lending company. hehehe... so i accompanied her and availed the freebies. not that i'm being leech or what huh, she asked if i can use a company and hey, good thing i had nothing to do the whole afternoon. hehehe. also, my sister considers me as her personal fashion adviser. so if it's shopping for clothes that she's up to, I'm free for grabs, just don't forget to stuff me some donuts. hehehe!

follow your heart and you might get hurt or be happy. when you heed your heart's desire and get away happy with your decision then you're fortunate. but when you were hurt, it would just be a pinch of the hurt you would feel if you didn't do the things you should be doing. no regrets. just love. and along with love are a lot more things, like pain and happiness.

HATE YOU.

    i hate to think how easy it is for you to say how much you love me yet it's damn hard for me to express that feeling. i hate you for having the guts to show me everything, from your weaknesses to your strengths, from what can make you sad or happy, from what you are inside and out. i hate how much you can easily please everybody to heed your will with just a slight sweetness you excrete. i hate you because in the short time we'd been together...you loved all the hate in me, you love those that hated me, you love me though i hate you, you love all my hatred and modified it to love. 

    maybe i envy you because i can't do the things you easily do. i can't do the things you do to me. i envy you because you're happy loving me and showing it to me and yet i can't feel what you fell because i don't make you feel loved. i envy your transparency, your confidence to show your fragility, your strength within, your trust that i won't shatter you like the glass though both of us know that i am capable of.
