Pertinent and accurate, as usual Silverboy.
The worst of it is that many greedy Filipinas on the mainland of China are stealing jobs that would otherwise be available to foreign native speakers of English. They do so by taking on second teaching positions without asking for permission from their initial Chinese Z visa sponsoring employers. By doing so they are also evading income tax, and why? In many cases not to feed poor families back home, but to shop for designer clothes or vacation in HK, which they think is far superior to the mainland, as well as the HK Chinese. But the problem for them there is they can't get teaching jobs, though they'd love to. They're not native speakers of English, that's why. Yet they still think it's a great place compared to the mainland! They work all hours on the mainland only to fritter away their earnings in a much more expensive place. I csn't figure them out, but the way they behave in China has put me off ever going to the Philippines.
