    ...useholds have managed to adjust to family separation, aided by regular communication. Caring for children remains to be a family responsibility. Among extended family members, grandmothers emerged as alternative caregivers in transnational households. While the study demonstrated that transnational households are better off economically than non-migrant households, transnational households are not significantly more likely to build up more savings compared to non-migrant households. The economic disadvantage of non-migrant households and how it constrains investments in children’s education and health cannot be overemphasized.

    ... Horrendously for Philippines and Hawaii, their resources and people are the target of western imperialism, capitalism, racism, industrialization, and military power in the name of ‘democracy’. Against their will, these people must endure imposed western ideology, and sacrifice their life in the fights for self-government. On the other hand, those who came armed with intentions would use any means possible to get what they came for. For some conniving characters seeking self-fortunes, and protecting their own interest, they walk a fine line of morality. Where they can not apply forces, propaganda is their powerful allied. This is an endless cycle of how empire rises and falls. What goes down in history for future generation is the doctrines of the why and the how to go about obtaining the resources that enable one nation to rise or fall.

On the other hand, even though these politicians who seem to have “good” platforms during the campaign period and always tell, as redundant as this may sound, “iaahon ko ang Pilipinas sa kahirapan”, there are really no significant changes in our country during the previous years until now. The things the candidates have said just remain as broken promises. Therefore, political dynasty in the Philippines should be prohibited because it adversely affects the progress of our country.
