Middle class relocating abroad for work--experts
THE PHILIPPINE middle class has virtually relocated overseas as more Filipinos seek work abroad, giving rise to problems but also creating potential opportunities, experts and officials said Thursday.
"The middle-class of this country is rapidly becoming foreign-based," Frederico Macaranas, executive director of the Asian Institute of Management's think-tank, told the conference.
It has been estimated that some eight million Filipinos or about 10 percent of the total population are now living overseas.
