Filipinos in Thailand

How many Pinoy teachers do you think are there now in Thailand? Some say around 8,000. Others have said, probably 30,000. Judging from the number of Pinoys who make visa runs to Laos or to AranyaPrathet, or the number of Pinoys you see who attend mass in churches in Bangkok alone every Sunday, probably even more.

With this growing number of Pinoy teachers coming to Thailand, one would wonder, “Is life that good in Thailand?” Well, though that remains to be seen for the hundreds who have come these past few years, it has been great for at least one Pinay who started out the same way as most Pinoys who venture out here in Thailand.

11 federal states

The joint resolution aims to change the “highly centralized system of government” in Manila, which has “brought about a spotty development of the nation where preferential treatment has been given to localities whose officials are friendly with or have access to an incumbent administration.”

It said the “lopsided arrangement has spawned a host of problems, including massive nationwide poverty to runaway insurgencies and rebellions that feed on the social inequalities in the nation.”

“The federalization of the Republic would speed up the development of the entire nation and help dissipate the causes of the insurgency throughout the land, particularly the centuries-old Moro rebellions,” the resolution said.

The 11 federal states called “centers of finance and development” to be created would be: Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, Southern Tagalog, Bicol, Minparom (Mindoro, Palawan, Romblon), Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, Western Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Southern Mindanao, and the State of Bangsamoro
