Money from expats built the Philippines. Did it also ruin it?
Summary:
At least 10 million Filipinos, 10 per cent of the population, work abroad. This nation of 7,000 islands has been sending English-speaking workers abroad for four decades, since former president Ferdinand Marcos figured it would boost the weakening economy and bring in foreign currency. They make politicians complacent as Filipinos pay for health care, education and other services the government arguably should be providing. Working abroad has both good side and bad side.
Persuasive:
This article explains about money from expats has both good and bad effects. In my opinon, working abroad will be good. First, like this article is saying, it contributes to the economy of philippines. Second, the people who worked abroad can learn good things from foreign country and they can develop philippines better from what they have learned. Third, foreign countries can have labor from them. These reasons are supplementing my opinion.

The Philippines: The next Asian Tiger economy?
Summary:
In recent years, the Philippines has emerged as one of the fastest growing economies in the world, impressively rivalling the dizzying growth rates of fellow Asian countries such as China. For the first time in its history, the Philippines managed to garner an "investment grade" status from the world's leading credit rating agencies in 2013. A more careful look at the Philippines' economic profile, however, suggests a less impressive picture, whereby few major conglomerates and influential families have been swallowing much of the recently-created wealth, while poverty and underemployment figures have hardly improved.
Persuasive:
I agree that the Philippines is the emerging fastest growing economies. But I think the fast economic growing is bad. Let me show the reasons. First, if the economy grows up fast, the gap between the rich and poor can be increased. Second, the unseen things such as human rights, legitimacy can be easily denied. Third, the economy can be unstable after fast growth because of unstrong basis. Because of those three reasons I think the fast economic growing is not good.

Benefit Concert Held for Philippines Recovery
Summary:
After the Storm: A Benefit Concert for the Philippines was held Sunday at the Kennedy Center. All funds from the concert will go to groups helping with recovery and reconstruction in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan – or Yolanda as it was known in the Philippines. Many people thinks that this concert will help to the people who are suffering from that disaster.
Persuasive:
I insist that this kind of concert things shoul be encouraged. Because, of course, it can help the weaker emotionally and economically, it will also motivate the community to help the weaker. The good spirit of this kind of event will flow to the others. Many people agree that music is the good curer for the people. For these kind of reasons, this kind of events should be encouraged.
