MANILA — SUCCESSFULLY building a business after working abroad, Alberto Limbo Perez still couldn?t be pinned down in his own country. Luckily for him, a recently-built government center can give him that chance.
?Who would reject the opportunity of working abroad?? the 47-year-old Perez said in Tagalog. ?Earnings from abroad are a big help to meet our needs. It?s a waste to let the opportunity pass.?
This comes from a man whose seven-year-old work abroad is being poured on a house with swimming pool at a cost of P4 million, almost half of what the Philippine government spent on a building to mold Filipinos like him to either stay home for good or go back to migrant work.
