pinoys are not stupid. they are patient and bide their time. knowing the u.s. economy is not improving and not hiring, they prepare themselves in sg, gain experience, and earn money while waiting for the right moment to pounce. once the u.s. economy picks up, they'll be in the u.s. in droves, with sg passports, circumventing the already exhausted quota on immigration visas for filipinos. sinkies, on the other hand, are clueless about all the emigration rules, markers, tricks, laws, limits, triggers, deadlines, caveats, penalties, etc. these pinoys have them figured out.
