choice versus necessity

Has it really come to this.

Overheard in the news that an OFW would rather stay in Thailand despite the political tensions there than to go back to the Philippines.

This brings about a very sad realization that Filipino's these times NEED to go overseas to earn a decent living as opposed to what then was just an attempt to make things life a little bit easier and more comfortable.

Once a choice, now a necessity. Sad truth!
