THREE in every four of the country’s extreme poor (Class E) feel their personal quality of life has worsened. Even more — 84 percent — feel the same way about the national quality of life. And they believe that the quality of life will deteriorate further in 2006, according to a Pulse Asia survey released yesterday.
The survey, conducted from Oct. 15 to 27, likewise found the number of poor who believe the country is hopeless rising from 7 percent in July 2005 to 25 percent in October 2005, and those who wish to migrate jumping from 21 percent to 31 percent in the same period.
Disturbing.

A lot of very skilled Philippinos, including my relatives and a lot of our friends, of the middle class and even the more educated farmer's kids, are going to other countries. I wish I could arrange visas for all of them to the USA for they are young and hardworking and would be successful...
But here there are few good jobs, and it is hard to break into the monopoly of rich people in businesses...
It is sad, but we are losing our best people...
