A Home for the Truly Filipino
Filipinos are undoubtedly talented and resourceful, but the possibilities for exposure to some technologies and fields of study are limited at best. Moreover, many of our most gifted citizens have moved overseas in search of better lives and opportunities for their families. Meanwhile, those who remain in the country need new skills and more advanced knowledge to help themselves and their employers grow their businesses and subsequently, the Philippine economy.
The Philippines has potential as a retirement destination, but beautiful beaches and friendly people can only go so far. There are other considerations, such as the availability of internationally accredited healthcare services and sustained financial independence well into one's retirement years. Filipinos stand to benefit from international experts if they can be convinced to establish their residencies here while they are in the prime of their productivity. We believe that with appropriate revisions to our citizenship, labor, investment and immigration policies and processes, our country can attract talent and experts to serve as sources of knowledge and technology transfer to counter the effects of brain drain.
Our past and present governments, throughout the past few decades, have enacted legislation and implemented policies based on the belief that the key to economic growth is to attract foreign direct investments (FDIs) from profit-oriented organizations.
Working with the assumption that all these government initiatives remain sustainable and at par with its regional neighbors, we believe that our country will continue to need people who profoundly understand the true essence of citizenship, that goes beyond both ethnicity and a piece of paper.
Most importantly, we believe in redefining within ourselves what a Filipino citizen should be, and that is, a person who shares the aspirations of an entire nation, and earnestly participates in what will help secure our country and more importantly, its future generations.
In pursuit of this, we are opening channels of communication with credible organizations outside the Philippines who are able to visualize possibilities of talented but ethnically non-Filipino individuals living very fulfilled lives in our country, as legitimate citizens. Our goal is to enable collaborative relationships between these organizations and their similarly credible Philippine-based counterparts.
