THE policy of sending Filipino workers overseas aims to give them jobs in labor-scarce countries during periods of economic slowdown. It started in the mid-1970s to the 1980s and expanded rapidly from the 1990s to the 2000s. The late labor minister Blas Ople was the first to introduce it as a stopgap measure when there was a job-supply contraction in the economy. The policy, however, is now a fixture in successive administrations, triggered by incoherent industrial policies, low salaries for professionals, lack of skilled occupations, rising number of jobless graduates, and other push-and-pull factors to work abroad. From exotic entertainers in Japan and construction workers in the Middle East to domestic helpers in Hong Kong, our country saw higher skill demands for Filipino workers abroad, from doctors and nurses, academics and scientists, and architects and engineers to ship captains and maritime officers and information technology and computer programmers. Many secured higher-paying jobs in Canada, the United States, East Asia and Europe. In economics, when the best and the brightest talents of the country leave to work abroad, a "brain drain" happens. It sheds off precious human capital that is essential for the country's transformation into an industrial and knowledge-based economy. Register to read this story and more for free .

Hildebrandt scores 9 as High Point knocks off Appalachian State 65-59US stocks experience mixed fortunes on quiet day of tradingThe City boss is enduring the worst run of his glittering managerial career after a six-game winless streak featuring five successive defeats and a calamitous 3-3 draw in a match his side had led 3-0. The 53-year-old, who has won 18 trophies since taking charge at the Etihad Stadium in 2016, signed a contract extension through to the summer of 2027 just over a week ago. Yet, despite his remarkable successes, he still considers himself vulnerable to the sack and has pleaded with the club to keep faith. “I don’t want to stay in the place if I feel like I’m a problem,” said the Spaniard, who watched in obvious frustration as City conceded three times in the last 15 minutes in a dramatic capitulation against Feyenoord in midweek. “I don’t want to stay here just because the contract is there. “My chairman knows it. I said to him, ‘Give me the chance to try come back’, and especially when everybody comes back (from injury) and see what happens. “After, if I’m not able to do it, we have to change because, of course, (the past) nine years are dead. “More than ever I ask to my hierarchy, give me the chance. “Will it be easy for me now? No. I have the feeling that still I have a job to do and I want to do it.” City have been hampered by a raft of injuries this term, most pertinently to midfield talisman and Ballon d’Or winner Rodri. The Euro 2024 winner is expected to miss the remainder of the season and his absence has been keenly felt over the past two months. Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has also not started a match since September. The pressure continues to build with champions City facing a crucial trip to title rivals and Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday. Defeat would leave City trailing Arne Slot’s side by 11 points. “I don’t enjoy it at all, I don’t like it,” said Guardiola of his side’s current situation. “I sleep not as good as I slept when I won every game. “The sound, the smell, the perfume is not good enough right now. “But I’m the same person who won the four Premier Leagues in a row. I was happier because I ate better, lived better, but I was not thinking differently from who I am.” Guardiola is confident his side will not stop battling as they bid to get back on track. He said: “The people say, ‘Yeah, it’s the end of that’. Maybe, but we are in November. We will see what happens until the end. “What can you do? Cry for that? You don’t stay long – many, many years without fighting. That is what you try to look for, this is the best (way). “Why should we not believe? Why should it not happen with us?”

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Arkansas defensive end Landon Jackson was carted off the field and taken to a hospital with a neck injury late in the first half of Saturday’s game at No. 24 Missouri. Jackson appeared to injure his neck while trying to tackle Missouri running back Jamal Roberts. Medical personnel tended to Jackson for approximately 10 minutes before he was placed on a backboard and driven to a waiting ambulance. Jackson gave a thumbs-up sign as he was carted off the snow-covered field. Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek said Jackson had movement in his arms and legs but was experiencing pain in his neck. He said Jackson was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Jackson leads the Razorbacks with 9 1/2 tackles for loss and 6 1/2 sacks, and is considered a potential first-round pick in next year’s NFL draft. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

Hayman scores 23 in Incarnate Word's 93-69 win over NAIA-member Our Lady of the LakeThe Philadelphia Eagles were dealt a tough blow in their Week 16 loss when star quarterback Jalen Hurts was forced out of the game early with a concussion. And with his status for Week 17 in doubt, all eyes have turned to the team's backup quarterback, Kenny Pickett. The former Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick filled in for Hurts after he departed their loss to the Commanders early, and he ended up throwing for 143 yards in the air with a touchdown and an interception. However, he suffered an injury to his ribs that threw his status for Week 17 up in the air as well. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content. Thanks for the feedback.
