Many Filippinos have to work outside of the Philippines. It sounds very strange to American ears but many times it is not possible to earn a living on two full-time incomes in the Philippines. The fact is that the whole family has to work to provide food for the table. For that reason many choose to work and live overseas and send money back home to their family, even up to %75 of their salary. And it is not like they can jump a plane home for the weekend, many who live oversees and work for their family have not seen them in years. They make this sacrifice for the lives of their childeren, so that they can have food and an education.
