LEADING a country thankful for overseas workers’ remittances and that carried out training programs to send “super maids” abroad, President Arroyo yesterday went beyond her usual speech on the improved economy to speak of another dream.
“We hope for the day when enough good jobs are created in the Philippines so that hardworking Filipinos don’t have to go abroad for their work,” Arroyo said before 300 participants of the Philippine Development Forum.
“We see a day when going abroad for a job is a career choice, and not the only option for work,” added Arroyo.
