It is really a bad state for Filipinos that businessmen of LT's likes are taking over the country's livelihoods.
It is not only the airline.
Look at all those malls sprouting everywhere & killing all those small businesses. And good if they pay their employees justly.
Most of these businesses want contractual employees with no benefits at all. The wealth generated doesn't trickle down at all to the employees.
And these businessmen can get away with anything because they can pay their way around. People in public office in the Phils are too corrupt.
And so the Filipinos are going abroad to seek better wages & better working conditions.
Now is the Phils really meant for the Filipinos or for those foreigners who bought their naturalization papers?
And those those who sold them these papers are being rewarded well...look at the PAL lawyer whose father was the immigration official who arranged LT's papers & that ex-military guy turned customs commisioner who arranged for LT's goods into the Phils tax free...these people are the modern day Benedict Arnolds of our race.
And the big businessmen can always bring their wealths earned in the Phils elsewhere like homeland China...and they earned their money thru the blood, sweat & tears waged by the Pinoy.
So for us Pinoy pilots & whatever trade you are in...off to other countries we go...what a pity.
Those who are left behind (we all have our own valid reasons for leaving or staying) are given the spoils...& are thus classified as mere cheap labor.
