The Department of Foreign Affairs say their president, Gloria Arroyo is slated to stay at Dubai's costliest hotel. Some OFW groups balk. Why? These modern-day heroes sweat it out there in the desert sun, living in subhuman conditions just to send dollars which buoy up the Philippine economy. And here is their so-called leader spending their money just for luxury. Just like that.
Well, the poster girl of the Philippine imperial presidency deserves some time to indulge, right? She's been receiving the brunt of criticisms against how government is being run now. So, she needs that comfy bed to rest her puny head.
This shows how indifferent this government is in the plight of the People. The People deserve a better government.
The deep sense of frustration that the OFWs are feeling at the moment is a result of the recession problems and the growing fears of an economic slowdown that would cripple them to support their families. They are trying to explore possibilities of providing means to their families back home but it's getting tougher. My blog http://onlineremit.blogspot.com/ deals with these issues and I would like to hear from you what your views are
