Gloria kisses glutii maximi, springs pinoys

Gloria is bringing home some Pinoys jailed for "minor crimes" in Saudi Arabia. Guess it worked.

If you scroll down, it mentions 1 million Filipinos in Saudi Arabia.
The Seattle Times has a good article too...
notes that 2.5 million live in the USA.

A historical parallel would be the Irish diaspora, where that country lost it's best minds to the UK and the Americas...but now, with the common market, Ireland is finally prospering.
One hopes that something similar will occur here, an economic improvement that will allow middle class Filippinos to stay home...
