Philippines 2010 Day 4

Sunday 24 October 2010


At the center of almost every filipino town is a catholic church, and at the center of almost every filipino's life, is religion.

Some say that the Philippines main export is Filipinos.  The government sponsors and Overseas Guest Worker program that exports labor all over the world, mainly to the middle east.  In return, filipinos get an opportunity to earn money and send it back home to their families.  My brother in law is no exception.  He is working as an engineer in Dubai.  He is building his dream home for his family here in the Philippines from a design he made.
