She said as a secretary in the UAE she was earning more than a doctor in the Philippines.

Like the OWWA funds which funded that PhilHealth card giveaway gimmick of GMA's during the elections. It's really CRAB MENTALITY from those already on top of the local heap.Deany Bocobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443168826029321831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1154941503513527522006-08-07T17:05:00.000+08:002006-08-07T17:05:00.000+08:00dean, that kind of reporting by my former newspape...dean, that kind of reporting by my former newspaper on the nurses are just another example of bullshit. i agree with you that the country's elites, or specifically the country's hospital owners, and that newspaper, simply dont respect the nurses. how much do nurses get here? P3,000-P6,000 a month. how much do they receive in the gulf states? U1,700/ a month. in America? US$4,000. they leave simply because hospital owners simply look at them as slaves. do they want to retain there here? no. despite all the talk of nursing shortages, wages of nurses have not moved an inch.Dave Lloritohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592787212335457164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1154919471751704342006-08-07T10:57:00.000+08:002006-08-07T10:57:00.000+08:00Nice to know that you are unwinding in Baguio.Rela...Nice to know that you are unwinding in Baguio.<BR/><BR/>Relax and enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-1154915740181453072006-08-07T09:55:00.000+08:002006-08-07T09:55:00.000+08:00The nurses are heroes for their families.

The whole is simply the sum of its parts. <BR/><BR/>Their hard work is that of ordinary, decent human beings. Not of some ignorant egghead expostulating on meaningless abstractions.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your vacaction!Roehlanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018109135738021378noreply@blogger.com
