the sermon about OFW

I attended the mass yesterday. The priest was telling us that it is OFW's generation. People wants to go abroad to work. They want to earn there because they want to give thier families better life. The priest said that the governent is proud that we have many OFW but he said that we should not be proud of it. Why? The reason is if we have many opportunity here in our country, the citizens would not think of leaving the country. I realized that the priest was right. People would choose to stay with their families if their income was enough for them. Its not easy to work abroad and stay away from you family. I think the governement should realize that they should generate work for Filipinos. They should not be proud that people were leaving the country and looked for greener pastures. What can you say about this??
