My goodness.. What the hell are you thinking?This post seriously makes me angry. How dare you encourage more Filipinos to work in Singapore? You will never know the situation my friend that because of this free scheme and your message , we have a high percentage of unemployed locals. Can you please spare a thought for them? We know that your country is in a state of poverty but let me tell you , the locals here will hate Filipinos more if more of them came and take away our precious jobs!!

I think that we are really that good. I believe that Filipino IT professionals exhibit outstanding behavior and attitude at work that is why we are preferred by most recruiters.

Two ways to stop the exodus anywhere:

1. Ensure Job security
2. Provide better compensation package (salaries, benefits, and training)

Can companies do it? A handful of companies can (especially foreign owned) while majority obviously can’t. At the end, it boils down to government and the economic status of our country. Won’t dig deeper coz it will be an unending post if we talk about those topic.

I also met a Pinoy who worked for a major newspaper and later Korea Tourism Organization.who worked for a multinational company here and is currently working in Qatar. Last I heard, his former boss is courting him to come back here. I hope so… Most of the Pinoys I know here are working as engineers.

Since the mid-90′s the Singapore has been “poaching” from our pool of IT talent. But how hiring fresh grads? that sounds pretty desperate to me.

I challenge IT employers and businessmen to debunk all the arguments here, but I doubt it’s going to happen. Now you see, this is what do we call, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, DEAL WITH IT!!!!

They can also setup shop in the Philippines. Now, we have to figure out how to make sure that SG managers feel at home in the Philippines (in terms of infrastructure and security. we have the better night life so we are covered on that part)
