Living in the Philippines for 17 years and a year here in Canada, I can already see a big difference between these two countries. I can sum it all up just by saying 'people in Canada are lucky'.
I can start with currency. A dollar here is equivalent to more than forty pesos in Philippines. That is the main reason why more and more Filipinos are migrating here in Canada because life back there is a tough one. 300 pesos a day would already be a big value of money for those unfortunate ones whose goal is to eat a minimum of two meals a day and three meals if got lucky enough. This is a sad but true story. More and more unfortunate people are suffering due to the 'corruption' that has happened to our country and I am not yet sure if it is still happening now. I just hope its not anymore. Jobs are very rare for those who haven't graduated from high school or college and salaries are also cheap.
Life here in Canada is so much better than back there. Our government is seriously concerned to its people. Our government is so concerned that living in this country gives you so many benefits such as health benefits and etc. Also, I have noticed that people here are so concerned about life and so disciplined which I sometimes wish that it is the same way in the Philippines. When crossing a street, the cars were like automatically stopping and waiting for you to cross the other side of the street while in the Philippines, before you could cross a street, you should make sure that there is no more car in sight or else you'll get hit. Money here in Canada is easy to earn for there are so many opportunities and with a young age of fourteen, one can already work and can earn for like 50 bucks per two weeks or higher.
Nowadays, money is almost everything.
