Regards 😀 Lipa city in nice but getting crowded. We bought a place close to Fernando air base 18 years ago thinking of the weekend farmer thing when i retired. Love the weather and 20 min. to S and R is nice. If you are planing to move to San Pablo i would suggest you stat looking. with the toll road going in the price of land is going up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 I think it will bounce back earlier in 2021, as long as there isn't a second wave. Yes there will be job loses for some OFW, but I think the majority will still manage to stay abroad. There is probably going to be a new demand for health care workers in various countries, so the gap will more than likely be filled by Filipinos. When one door closes another door opens.

Tukaram (Tim) Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 The main thing to me is the exchange rate. Depends on who has the worst recession, the PIs or the US. I am on a fixed income and have no interest in investing at my age. As long as my exchange rate is good, I am ok. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham59 Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) How will the adults be able to return to work when their kids are busy studying at home...as no return to 'face to face education' until a vaccine is AVAILABLE in the Philippines, is the new policy ...presumably for ALL the millions of kids ? They certainly know how to condemn themselves to misery and recession here...well, for the POOR, anyway. Edited June 8, 2020 by graham59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory yes. But, based on what I have heard it's not as simple as that - much of the qualifications gained here are not totally recognised abroad and require retraining and further study - at a cost. A trained and qualified nurse here may only be able to work in a nursing home abroad. I'm not sure there will be an increased demand for nursing home staff?

Given fatality rates in the nursing homes in many countries there might even be a decreased demand for nursing homes staff in the short to medium term :( 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a increased demand in Australia for Aged care, critical care nursing and mental health staff. They reckon their will be a shortage of at least 100,00 plus in the next few years. It will be the same in the UK and other countries. The main stumbling block for a lot of these health care workers has been the English test and these will become more relaxed over the next few years due to the shortfall of staff. A couple of my Filipino friends have daughters in Australia doing caregiver courses and the Australian government has waived work restrictions and it looks like there will be no problems for them to stay after their courses have finished.

I personally know one physician/entrepreneur in the Philippines who is certified by the Canadian government to provide additional training for nurses. The applicants still need to test, pass and qualify upon arrival. But the pre-departure training lowers the cost because the requirements are completed in the Philippines rather than in Canada. Similarly, caregivers destined for Australia are required to complete certain requirements including one year working at Philippine nursing home prior to deployment. An authorized agency in Manila verifies and certifies the completion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
