Some say this is a hoax. They have not felt the change as they are
still jobless or underpaid. I am not into politics or I know someone who works
for Philippine government. I respect the opinion of everyone. But let me share
what I have in mind.
There are lots of job openings, sad to say only few are
qualified. Filipinos are technically qualified but when it comes to soft skills
most applicants are having difficulty expressing themselves. Foreign investors on BPO industry hire Filipinos
as we are known to speak English language in the best way British and Americans
could understand.
Corollary to this, I encourage Philippine government to
consider English language as the medium of instruction to start at least in
high school. Filipinos should likewise do away with Juan Tamad (Lazy John) attitude waiting for the guava to
fall, to eat it. We must hone our talents. In this way, when opportunity
knocks, we are ready.
I am thankful for the effort of our Philippine President
Benigno Aquino 111, local businesses and foreign investors that paved the way
to our economic growth in 2012. To the critics, I encourage you to make every
effort to contribute. No matter where we are in the world, we cannot change our
roots. We are Filipinos, even if we change our black hair to blond or light
brown. The color of our skin will reveal our Asian ethnicity.
