Forced to leave by circumstances

I strongly agree with the statement of Edwin that…”Not all who leave the Philippines lose their love for their homeland.”
Most of the Filipinos who left the country were forced by the different circumstances that they are facing in their life. Such as: poverty, unemployment, overpopulation and so on. Thus, most of them are just looking for a greener pasture to make their standard of living better.
For the family oriented Filipinos; (especially the “mothers” who left their homes in exchange to working in abroad) were forced to decide on leaving the country for them to give a brighter future to their children. Considering the fact that the rate of the salary in abroad is far better compared to what is offered in our country.
Yet, this doesn’t mean that they lost their patriotism because even if they were taken away from their homeland, their desire is to go back to their country after making themselves financially stable.
