Why the Government Should Allow More Filipinos to Work Abroad

     Each year, more and more Filipinos migrate to work abroad. It is an undeniable fact that most of the Filipinos chose to work abroad than to stay and work here in the Philippines. They are willing to sacrifice their time being away with their family just to earn more money and living there in other countries than in their own country. But why do Filipinos insist to work there than in their own country? Why doesn't the government make any action or solutions for the Filipinos to stop migrating to other countries? Such questions should be considered by the government to solve this issue.

     The main reason why more Filipinos chose to work abroad  is that the Philippines has an unstable economic condition and high unemployment rate. They believed that there are lesser chances to be able to work here locally than in other countries. Also, they thought of earning high income and salary in abroad. If the government would not allow them to work abroad, their lives would be miserable here in their own country. Wonder why? It is because lesser jobs are available here in the Philippines which still bias the rich people. There is also a record of discrimination experienced when applying jobs locally. And even if they provide some source of livelihood or living here in the country , the salary will still be presumably lower than that of the salary that they will have in other countries. Besides, if the government would not allow them to work abroad, the rich people would only benefit because of the corruption they are doing. Instead of working in abroad, they will be here suffering in discrimination and corruption and experiencing hunger and starving. 

     Finally, the decision of the government to allow more Filipinos to work abroad would possibly very acceptable. It would be very beneficial not only to the OFW's themselves but also to their family. The continuation of the protection and program given by the government to them would be helpful to show our support to them. Maybe our government cannot help them by giving them stable jobs here in the country, but still, we can support them in this own little way which may seem a big thing to them.

Romeo and Juliet: As Time Repeats Constantly

If I would be given the chance to change the last part of the story Romeo and Juliet, the story would be like this:
     After Romeo received the news that Juliet was dead , he immediately travelled back to Verona. While travelling, he met Friar John along the way. Romeo quickly asked Friar John if Juliet is really dead. And because of that, he gave Romeo the letter from Friar Laurence and let him read it. After reading the letter, Romeo became happy and excited to see and be with Juliet once again. He continued his travel and went straight to Juliet's tomb. 
     On the other hand, Paris is crying and mourning in Juliet's tomb. When he finally decided to leave the tomb, Juliet woke up. When he looked back for his final glance, he saw Juliet alive and moving. Because of that, he became overjoyed and hugged Juliet right away. Since Juliet is still weak because of the potion that she drank, she wasn't able to push Paris away from her. Instead, she just talked to Paris and told him everything about his love for Romeo. Realizing how happy Juliet is with Romeo based on her story, Paris decided to let go of Juliet and let her be with his love Romeo.
     When Romeo arrived at Juliet's tomb, Paris immediately talked to Romeo. He apologized to Romeo and told him about the plan that he and Juliet made. Paris helped Romeo and Juliet from their escape to Verona and their feuding families. They went to Mantua and there, they lived happily together with their child Helena who is deeply in love with Paris' son, Demetrius.
     After several years had passed, the Capulets and Montagues still fight and argue with one another despite what happened before. For the second time, their children named Hermia and Lysander fell in love with one another. And again, another story of star-crossed lovers, began.
