Philippines wooing Japan's aged with skilled, low-cost care
By ERIKO YAMAWAKI

MANILA (Kyodo) In a spacious room at the Rose Princes Home, a nursing facility on the outskirts of Manila, a caregiver feeds an 81-year-old partially paralyzed Japanese man.

The man moved to the Philippines five years ago, after his wife died. Beside his bed are a Buddhist altar and mementos of his wife. After becoming a resident at the facility, the man suffered a stroke that left him unable to speak. He has been taken care of by the nursing home staff ever since.

hello, ugnayan. ok sana to kundi lang magiging pugad tayo ng retirees na di na makagalaw sa sarili nila, medyo less profit para sa bansa kumpara sa turistang gumagala talaga. Sana instead of just retirees' haven, we strive to become a tourist destination, bakit naman ang Thailand nagawa nila, baka mas kaya natin coz we're surrounded by seas and 7100 islands.:)

Salamat ugnayan.

Eto pa: Pension yen goes long way in Philippines (http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nn200 51228f3.htm). Series yata ito. Eto rin yata ang gusto kong gawin kung matanda na ako: babalik sa Pinas. :)

Kami din siguro. My husband and I have been toying this idea of moving to the Philippines when he retires.:)

im thinking how desperate the country seems with this kind of policy. we're enticing the ageing japs to retire and spend their yen in the phils so we can provide employment to caregivers and other health professionals, when we can't even attend to our kababayans dying of preventable diseases.

SALAMAT sa mga nagbigay ng kanilang replies! Happy New Year to all!

@Mcgregor
Babasahin ko ang complete paper ni Prof. Tullao after the New Year celebration...Medyo naghahabol pa ako sa mga readings ko.

Matanong lang kung mayroon pa bang Vounteer 12 o special program ng ating Ministry of Tourism? Magbibigay ako ng Philippine Tour Orientation sa mga Japanese young people sa January 21. Any advice na magandang sabihin sa mga Japanese Youth na pupunta sa Pangasinan?

Kaya hindi lang matatanda o yen ang pinapapunta sa Pilipinas ngayon. YMCA asked me to help them in their Phillippine Trip Youth Program.

Fremsite, nandito na naman tayo sa ating virtual community! :grouphug: Salamat naman sa encouragement mo. Mag-log-out na sana ako para ipagpatuloy ang mga binabasa ko e nag-pop-out ang sulat mo. Ikaw din hinahangan ko kasi 2,133+ na ang posts mo sa TF. Ang galing mong sumulat at magreply!:tiphat:

Siguro hanggang Philippine Orientation muna ako dito sa Japan. Marami pa akong gagawin dito sa Tokyo bago magbakasyon sa Pilipinas. Alam mo ba na may hotel ang YMCA-Pangasinan? Pwede kang magbakasyon dito para marating mo rin ang Dagupan at Ilocandia! Ipinarating sa akin na noong kabataan ni dating Pangulong Fidel Ramos ay nag-YMCA volunteer din. Maganda ang YMCA programs kasi maraming charity events sila. Magandang mag-EB sa YMCA hostels sa Japan kasi mura lalo na sa YMCA Gotemba. Mayroon ding YMCA center for battered people in Japan (naisulat ko ito sa ibang thread).

Have a blessed & peaceful New Year, kabayan! :yippee:
