The Philippines is expected to lose more than 10 per cent of the money sent home by its citizens overseas which helps keep the economy afloat.

The global slowdown means less demand for the low-skilled jobs they often perform, as Al Jazeera's Marga Ortigas reports.

  • Unite in peace against the central bankers who have caused this crisis and resist any "solution" they propose. The solution can only come from a sound gold=backed currency owned by the people - not the global elite bankers.

  • to expect people to leave there own country and migrate to support there economy is ridiculous, they represent 10% of there population instead why don't they educate people not to have as many children for example the young man supporting his 8 brothers and sisters, obviously they wouldn't be in this situation or as dramatic as it is today, the world needs third 3 world nations to lower there population otherwise they will be worse off than they are particularly the large countries.

Maybe you can get one

    of the "Central" bankers to be your lover. HAHAHAHA Your right the 1% does rule the mofo world and your not it.

  • Ok. . . Magicandppuppet . i already did. The world is ruled by math and science not rumour and rantings of the drunk on the street corner. For me to believe your "theory" that the world is ruled by elite bankers show me one shard of proof and/or evidence. I already know that most of the third-world are run as oligarchies, but not but "greedy Elite bankers." hahahahahahaha
